Edric & Xuezhen’s Pancake Stack

EthelLeave a comment


I asked them, “Why a pancake stack?”

Well cake is too heavy for a morning solemnization so a pancake stack it is!

This fluffy stack of pancakes is filled with vanilla creme patisserie and dark chocolate ganache. We made a strawberry and raspberry compote and filled a jar with honey to place on the side for guests to take however much they want. I personally like to drench my pancakes with syrup, but that’s just me!

  Deciding on the colors for the couple usually isn’t the easiest task. Everything that you can find on the net is usually pretty much a carbon copy of each other.

I really enjoy creating cakes with whatever I have and with whatever is in season! Many people don’t realize that depending on where you are, what season it is, whether it’s a busy holiday, will give you different flowers. The best possible way to work around this is to choose a colour scheme and not the type of flower, unless you’re willing to pay an exorbitant amount for choice.



That’s the pancake stack! Congratulations to the lovely couple again!

Juliana’s Birthday Cake: Peach & Pink

Ethel1 Comment

This week’s colour scheme seems to be following a pattern! Nevertheless, I love it! This 6″ rustic pink & peach Smores cake was done for my ex-school mate Julie! We use to sing together in choir… good times! Really really miss it.

Beneath the rustic cookie cream, is moist chocolate sponge, dark chocolate ganache, toasted marshmallow frosting and handmade shortbread.

Always get distracted while I’m in the cold room. FOCUS!

Dawn’s Birthday Cake: The Pink Forest Cake

There are some times I just want to slap myself when people ask me questions and I stutter or reply with my tongue twisted. Sigh.. This time round I was probably star-struck. And there is a difference between being shy and rude. I’m just really shy…

I’ve been extremely blessed to have met Cheryl, who created this cake with me for her boss, Dawn as a surprise! Cake is always a good surprise. I love it when people have their full trust in me to create something for them. It doesn’t matter who it is, but I will always give my 110%, no less. Cheryl and her friend searched through my library of cakes and threw some pictures of my rose and raspberry, raspberry chocolate, rose and pistachio cake and I figured things out from there.

Could see the rough idea and went ahead with the rose, raspberry and pistachio body since we chose that flavour. The dripping green liquid is pistachio ganache made with handmade pistachio paste. And once again, melding my three loves ❤

I’m so glad that I bought that bunch of forest plants and used it to make a bunting! My all-time favourite so far. Enough words, just pictures.
