Floral birthday cake


Another decorating style for Caramel chocolate fudge cake. This one was garnished with five apple blossom flowers, each one in different colours. Gorgeous cake for the birthday lady.

Note: Please bear with the distorted shade of this picture since my dear camera I normally used was not available at the time of shooting . I promise not to publish any low-quality photo, giving you 'sore eyes' again!

Midsummer celebration

An order from a regular customer of mine. This is for Midsummer's Day celebration of a Swedish company held in the park on Sukhumvit Road. So cute and so so vivid to suit the occasion.

White chocolate ruffle cake



Above: Chocolate velvet cake with milk or dark chocolate cream filling and white chocolate frosting, exquisitely garnished with white chocolate curls.

What a romantic way to say 'Happy Birthday' and 'I love you' at the very same time by giving your beloved a HEART cake. This must be the most passionate cake I have ever baked so far. Also, it can be made in a classic round shape as shown in the first picture. The ivory colour cake is just so beautiful when pastel wordings are written on. White chocolate ruffles are very fragile and super cute when matched with the cake too.

*Please noted that varied shade of the two cakes is caused by different source of light in photo shoot.

Caramel chocolate fudge cake with almonds

Above: Three-layer chocolate cake with caramel and almond filling. All covered with dark chocolate ganache.

This menu hits it big during this past few weeks. Having ceaselessly received an order of Caramel chocolate fudge cake, I think this could happen because of word of mouth! When the customers place an order, they often refer to the party or the person make them get to know my bakery. From one party to another the reputation of fudgy gooey chocolate caramel cake is spread out wider and wider!!

Golden apple cake

Above: Buttery golden apple cake, perfect match for a cup of Earl Grey tea.

Every now and then I fancy some not-so-fancy food to go with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Scones with cream and jam is my staple treat. Simple savouries such as cucumber sandwich is also a common choice ;light and refreshing. All in all, I love this Golden apple cake the best. It is super moist with sauteed apple chunks inside and the butter aroma seriously makes my mouth water. Eating the cake warm right out from the oven sends me over the moon!! For you, my dearest customers, please microwave it at medium heat for 30-45 seconds (with a microwave-proof lid on.) And you will agree with me that the reason of living lies in the pleasure of eating!

Almond praline cake

Above: Layer coffee cake generously covered with caramelized chopped almond.

Another menu to please those coffee lovers and nutty nutcases (even more perfect if you are gaga over both of them:)) The cake is also flavored with prime quality coffee liquor to enhance the taste. It can be omitted in accordance with personal preference.

Shiny strawberry cake

This is the cake for farewell party a company arranged for their staff. I was asked to create something little different from my available menus. The customer would love to have her cake topped with glossy strawberries not just 'naked' fresh ones. And here comes Shiny strawberry cake. I meticulously glossed and laid each piece of strawberries on the cake while kept my finger crossed that the cake would be of the customers' liking. It was truly delightful to receive good feedback on it, so I decided to make this cake new item on my menu. Better still, I already succeeded in solving runny strawberry glaze problem happened previously. Red shiny sauce hold itself beautifully on the cake now:)

Sunny's Birthday cake

Above: Chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse and fresh sliced strawberries and covered with chocolate ganache.

This is an order from my lovely customer in occasion of her friends' birthday. Yes, it is 'friends' with 's' because 5 persons are happened to have their birthday very close together. What a big celebration it would be :)

I supposed to have this picture posted few weeks ago but there are long lists of orders keeping me super duper busy from the beginning of songkran holiday up until now. My special menu of summer like Ripe mango and lime cake makes such a big hit!
Finally, I got myself a short break to resume another important task of updating my blog. This is a Strawberry chocolate cake which I firstly created for my brother, Sunny whom I name the cake after. He had a special request for his birthday cake which I took it as a good opportunity to search for a good recipe of it. From a journey to a towering pile of my baking books, I select good elements here and there. I combined more than three recipes to set it up. And I think my attempt really worth it. Sunny's birthday cake wows the guests with an over-the-moon experience of chocolate cake.
This simply pretty cake is velvet chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse and fresh sliced strawberries. It is all covered with chocolate ganache which never fails to make any cake look luxuriously beautiful. Shiny lovely strawberries are placed on top to announce a key ingredient, at the same time, to make such a charming presentation of the cake!

Ripe mango and lime cake


Above: Ripe mango and lime cake; soft mango cake layered with lime curd, covered with fresh cream and exquisitely garnished with ripe mango.

Our summer special menu goes to ripe mango and lime cake. It tastes so light and refreshing. The piquant lime curd filling is the right match for mildly sweet ripe mango. Exactly, the dessert to finish your meal in this season.

Cafe au lait cake

Above: Three-layer coffee cake with coffee pastry cream and Kahlua whipped cream

This is a Happy Birthday cake for my best friend. Although she placed the order on the day my baking schedule is quite crammed, I was happy and more than willing to bake for her. Recently, we have scarcely seen each other, so I decided to deliver her order by myself. When I had received her call reporting impressive feedback of her and the guests towards my cake and cookies, I felt so overwhelmed. It really is worth putting all energy and my whole heart in every piece of my products.

The pursuit of young coconut

Above: Soft-like-feather coconut cake with coconut whipped cream and juicy coconut meat. Best selection to finish your meal during this season!!

Everybody in my family drinks coconut juice and eat its meat at least twice a week, no special purpose we just love it, that's all. Though a seller guarantees he selects the best ones for us, we really can't predict what we may find inside. Sometimes we are lucky enough to find young coconut we are looking for, but mature coconut whose meat is so tough is not something surprising. That's why I had not put young coconut cake in my menu despite mom's constant proposal. Few months ago I got good news, my uncle met an owner of coconut farm who promise to supply us tender meat of young coconut whenever we want. Perfect! After a testing period, I decided this supplier is trustworthy. Then, young coconut cake eventually finds its way to exist in the product lists. Today the coconut supplier and my uncle become close friends because of my continuing demand of his high-quality coconut. Overflowing numbers of orders keep coming and I think there must be something to do with the fiery hot weather of the approaching summer when people prefer to have light dessert.

Mandarin cake


Above: Two-layer soft orange cake with orange curd and Cointreau whipped cream, garnished with fresh mandarin orange

I always love cake with fruits because it can freshen me up and one day I got a chance to pass on this favor to others. A customer asked me to bake orange cake for her get-together party and I was very proud to present her my oh-so-orange cake. There are two layers of super soft orange cake. In the middle is tangy orange curd made from freshly squeezed Sunkist orange. The cake is covered with Cointreau (orange liquor) whipped cream
. Finally, it is garnished with Mandarin orange. I received really good feedback from this menu. On top of that, I am delighted to know more people out there become a fan of fresh fruit cake like me :)

Velvety chocolate mousse cake

Above: Chocolate mousse and sponge cake on hazelnut crunch crust

As you can see this cake consists of three parts; the first layer is chocolate mousse which is soft like velvet, the second is chocolate sponge cake sprinkled with Cointreau (orange flavor liquor), the bottom is hazelnut crunch crust that is crisp and full of toasty aroma of roast nuts. They go together oh-so-very-well. A fan of mousse cake knows that this cold cake must be refrigerated at all time. To contradict its type of being 'cold cake', it has been selling like
'hot cakes' since I had it on my menu.

Chequerboard cake

Above: Chocolate and vanilla butter cake with chocolate whipped cream

This cake requires somewhat more efforts to make than usual I admit but I do enjoy baking it very much. Every time I receive notes from my customers about the impressiveness of their guests (and the host also:))when they cut and found pretty black and white butter cake laying itself alternately, I feel my endeavor already worth it all. Moreover, it tastes just perfect with chocolate whipped cream applied on top and between each layer.

For-the-sake-of-chocolate cake



Above: Dark semi-sweet chocolate cake with vanilla cream filling, covered with chocolate ganache

The name says it all, this chocolate cake tastes so 'chocolatey' rich. It has four layers which are separated by vanilla cream filling, then covered with dark semi -sweet chocolate ganache. I took quite some times to make decision which pictures I should post because I baked countless pieces of this chocolate cake. A regular customer of mine is so nice, she always celebrates her family members' birthday with my cake and her choice must be For-the-sake-of-chocolate cake since everyone in her family is a chocoholic!!
It is gorgeous whether in square shape or round shape alike. Only I will recommend my customers who have long wording to choose the square one which provide more space to write :)

Strawberry and fresh cream cake



Above: Milky soft cake with strawberry and whipped cream, decorated with vanilla wafers

I think strawberry and whipped cream is a perfect combination which is always delicious. This is one of my best-selling items; milky soft cake covered with special recipe whipped cream, layered and topped with lots of strawberries. They are just so outstanding when placed on top of white whipped cream, don't you agree?
