My aunt's 60th Birthday

Monday, September 20, 2010

I was pretty blank when I start to think of the design I want to make for my aunt. It's her 60th birthday and I knew that she haven't had a cake for birthday since dunno when...so I thought a simple cake for her would be nice. Themes for children are so easy to think off...they usually like cartoons, superheros, animals and basically colourful figurines. I thought of doing something "traditional" this time to match her age hehe and the idea of longevity buns (in cantonese it's called Shao Pao) came to my mind. Why do people consume this during birthday celebrations?? What's the real meaning behind...anyone know the ancient chinese history behind the buns?

Well, the simple meaning to me is just requesting for longevity as the name can tell. Which is exactly what I wished for my aunt - wishing her good health and all the happiness in the world!

Transportation

My customer told me her 4 yrs old son loves transportation so she wanted me this theme for his cake. So I've made these for him - we have train, helicopter, boat, bus, car and tractor.

She told me her son was so delighted to see his birthday cake. Happy Birthday Yee Fan!

Tom & Jerry

Tom and Jerry is also my first attempt. My friend ordered Barney and Friends cupcakes for her daughter's birthday last year. This year she wanted to try Tom & Jerry mini cake. I was quite happy how it turn out to be...hope the birthday girl is excited to see her cake :-)

49th Anniversary

Cupcakes for wedding anniversary or dating anniversary are the common orders I usually get. My customer ordered these cupcakes in celebration of a monk's 49th anniversary. By far this is the most unique order. Cupcakes can be used for in so many ways to touch peoples' heart...so just be creative and have fun with cupcakes!

Service appreciation

A manager in my company ordered these cuppies as a token of appreciation for her subordinates' 5 years service. What could be a sweeter way to say thank you. I think the cupcakes will definitely bring some smiles to their faces. Cheers ~
