Saving animals, 1 cupcake at a time

Roses are Red, Cupcakes are too!

Apologies for bombarding all with other’s/dining creations other than my own My parents are in town for the last 2 weeks, which just means I’m free from the kitchen for the time being.. though I do look forward to getting back into it! I’ve got a list of things I’ll love to cook/bake! -stay tuned for that-

But what I am about to share with you is no doubt visually pleasing, just as it is ahhhh-ppetizing!

Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream cheese and Rose Icing, or in short Red Velvet Cupcakes, Bouquet

I have photographed several of my friend’s baking creations, so I guess I could call myself the official photographer, heh.

The talent behind Cupcakes by M, my friend has yet again put together aesthetics to taste!

Don’t let the red-ness blow you away

These were made for a 21st birthday, take a guess how many cupcakes there are? 88! (Nice number aye? to the Chinese anyway..) You could imagine how ecstatic I was when I saw the giant red, white bouquet sitting at the table waiting for me capture it

Benefits of doing food photography? photography for a close friend, is of course the photographer scores a nibble or two!

What did I expect? the usual red velvet and cream cheese icing… but there was a punch to it when I tasted a hint of rose flavouring…. great idea? yes it is!

Enticed?

A Chanel Engagement Party

One of my best friend’s and her long time boyfriend (now fiance) is due to tie the knot late next year. So in celebration of their engagement, the girlfriends and I have put together a surprise engagement party. Well, not so much a surprise since she knows about the party.. but it was a surprise in terms of party theme and food.

My friend had always loved French culture, so I thought we’d do things chic and go Chanel ~

Another friend, whom I’ve blogged about several times have made them a cake for this special occasion – just to fit the theme!

Here it is ~ the Chanel inspired cake.

From memory it was a chocolate cake with jam (can’t remember the flavour )

Check out my friend’s other awesome bakes! on her Facebook page; Cupcakes by M (click!)

Just so you get a feel of some of the decor I put together ~

Since the theme is Chanel, we stuck to black and white – classic Chanel, and the dash of pink for extra girly-ness

handmade tissue flowers wired onto recycled branches -which- have been spray painted white.

Have a great week ahead boys & girls!
