Message in a Cookie..

Message Sugar Cookie

A client of mine requested this kind of design. Good thing I have some edible pens at home. 🙂 This was one of my last creations before I left for Indonesia. Isn’t it a nice thing to give it to your loved ones?

Like message in a bottle, it’s like a message in a cookie.

Or if you want an alternative, you can also write it in letters.

Letter Sugar Cookies

It’s pretty available in all occasions. Perfect gift for Valentine’s I also have heart shapes (Fluted heart, simple heart and double heart). For inquiries, kindly PM me in Facebook. You have to add me first though. 🙂

 

The Precious Moments Project

Precious Moments themed Fondant Cake

A lot of you may have noticed that I’m not replying that much the past few days. The reason is I was out of the country, I went to Indonesia to meet my best friend and help her make her son’s 1st birthday cake and other pastries. Picture above was the 4-tier birthday cake with a Precious Moment figurine on top. We decided not to make our own figurine, since we also lack colors to do it as well as we also have some errands while we were there.

Fondant Cupcakes, I didn’t make the toppers

Also made Vanilla Cupcakes then topped with Fondant. This was placed on the Candy Bar we set-up on the event.

Precious Moments Sugar Cookies

Of course, I don’t want people to miss the sugar cookies, really good for decorations on the Candy Bar, and a stand-out. It’s also good for giveaways if you don’t want the really common cupcakes.

The Candy Bar Set-up

Me and my best friend (Fillmemore) really set this up and I had fun doing it. I find it pretty and elegant. Candies are bought in Singapore and Indonesia.

I deeply apologize for not responding the past week, since this was the reason why I’m not able to cater to your orders. It’s a one of a kind opportunity for me and a challenge to work in another place (more like in another country), a test to challenge my competence and professionalism. So there! I hope you guys liked it! 🙂

 

Disney Princess Cake, Vampires and more

Disney Princess Fondant Cake

Disney characters are one of the most challenging and difficult to work with. Knowing this, I’m always hesitant and do forewarn my clients that the characters will not look the same, but will try my best to look or at least make people identify which character is being presented on the cake, cupcake or cookie.

One time, I visited my aunt, and told me that she’ll order a cake, when I asked her what type of cake, she told me a Disney Princess cake, I was surprised and told her I’ll try my best to make it look like the real cake but I cannot copy the exact image since that would take eons to master. I even checked Google if they have demos or some sort of gumpaste images. But epic fail. I found none. Since my time is limited, she ordered it on Thursday, and wanted it on Saturday. So I decided to make it look like cute dolls, and do the dresses. My aunt wanted Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle and Ariel in it. I was satisfied with my work since you can identify which is which. Even my sisters and my dad (though not a Disney fan) knew who it is. So I was happy. Haha.

Vampire Fangs Sugar Cookies

I love these vampire fangs. I’m not into vampires or whatnot. But I just totally love this design. Anyway, my clients daughter had a Vampire themed birthday party so she ordered the fangs and a vampire face Vampire Face Sugar Cookies

I can’t draw well to save my life so I was kind of stressed out with this one. Thankfully, my client liked it. Haha. 🙂 Anyway it was pretty challenging for me, I can’t draw but I can mold shapes and characters.

Anyway that’s it for now. 🙂

 

Halloween Sugar Cookies

Halloween theme Sugar Cookies

Halloween is just around the corner so I decided to use my Halloween cookie cutters and show them what they look like. I know I made a list together with the other cookie cutters I have but I didn’t have visuals to give. So I kind of decided to make some of the themes one by one. 🙂

Moon, Witch and Ghost Sugar Cookies

I’ll be updating more designs in the future. There are still a lot of stuffs I haven’t made yet so I want to show it to you guys.

Haunted House, Bat and Cat Sugar Cookies

Halloween has been celebrated in almost everywhere. I’ve experienced my first Trick or Treat at my friend’s village. The second one is in the San Francisco. Funny thing is that even adults there loves trick or treat. I was the one who gives candy to them. Hoho.

My first taste of Pumpkin Pie topped with Whipped Cream. Yum.

Pumpkins small and large sugar cookies

It was a first as well to go to a Pumpkin Patch in Half-Moon Bay, then see kids and their parents pick up the best pumpkins at the patch. Eat warm Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice cream on top. Drool over Caramel Apples. Enjoy the cold, crisp of Autumn. Haha. Now I’m missing my second home.

The weather is getting cold now. I can finally feel the cold air around the city. Enjoy the upcoming Halloween. 🙂

Gingerbread Cookies

Gingerbread Man/Girl

I’m always curious when it comes to pastry. As much as possible, if ingredients are available and I can afford them, I’d try to make them at home.

Gingerbread cookies is one of the most popular cookies this coming Christmas Season. These cookies were usually given as gifts during the holidays. The most popular gingerbread cookies are the Gingerbread Man Cookies as seen on top. I tasted these cookies it’s not sweet I think the sweetness will come from the decorations, and the spices are not overpowering. It’s perfect for people who doesn’t like sweets so much.

The usual spices that are added on the cookie dough are cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ground ginger. But you can substitute allspice as well according to some recipes.

Before Icing the Gingerbread Cookies

Molasses are added to the dough to add color and texture. These cookies are crunchy as opposed to my vanilla and chocolate sugar cookies which are somewhat soft on the inside.

Christmas Bell and Stockings

I managed to buy the 101 cookie cutters which consists of halloween, christmas, etc. So I managed to make these Christmas cutters. Although I’m still looking for the reindeer, mittens, santa hat, snowflake and santa head cookie cutters which is kind of impossible since the suppliers here in my country aren’t buying all wilton products, only selected ones so it’s kind of sad. 😦

Christmas Tree and Candy Canes

Snowman

It’s exactly 100 days left before Christmas. Are you guys excited? I’m already accepting orders for Christmas, please be reminded to book at least 2 weeks or a month before.

Pictures in this blog are all the available Christmas cutters at the moment, also included are Party Hat and Present.

As I’ve said my first account is full. Add my second and please like my fanpage. Ciao!

 

Sugar Cookie Madness

Sorry for being idle again. I’ve just been so busy with work and all. 🙂 Anyway, these past few weeks I’ve gotten a lot of sugar cookie orders. So basically, I have a couple of designs I want to share on this blog. 🙂 Sugar cookies are nice for giveaways, seriously I’d give a cookie instead of a cupcake. It holds it’s shape better and it it’s pretty unique. You can see people everywhere giving out cake pops, cupcakes as their souvenirs. I’m really happy that I came up with this idea. With a couple of practices, research and reading baking blogs, although I’m still in the learning process of all the techniques and stuff, I’m quite satisfied with my work.

Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Elmo

Grover, Oscar the Grouch and Kermit the Frog

Angry Birds

Making sugar cookies in this kind of weather in the Philippines (humid) have been tough, especially in this wet season we’re all having. Not only it’ll take the icing to dry longer, it’ll have spots coming out, the only technique was to put then in an air-conditioned room and let them dry there. *sigh* If we’re experiencing a hot weather, or a not so humid weather then it wouldn’t be a problem. There were two options for this, put them in a low heat oven and let them dry – the downside: The cookie will harden, it won’t be as soft and chewy as I intend to, or in an air-conditioned room, both will have to use electricity so I chose option 2.

Customized Letter Cookies

I had fun making these cookies, in fact, I’m slowly adding more cookie cutters in my collection. I’ve recently purchased a car, locomotive and plane themed cookie cutters as well as a party themed which contains a cake, cupcake, present and party hat cookie cutters. 🙂 Just visit my Cupcakesinc byDen on facebook for inquiries.
