Hello!! I’m still alive and well, been baking and living life to near fullest I say! I’ve just baked today, made some yummy violet buttercream icing! Lovin’ it! I woke up early to bake some cupcakes today! Yummy Hershey’s chocolate chip, white choc chip, Nutella, Blueberry and yummy vanilla flavoured cupcakes…. with my new Violet colored buttercream icing. Made them for my friend who left for Denmark today, and gave some to my other friends as well. Glad they liked them!

Here’s a photo of my naked cupcakes before going into the oven:

Hello there! It has been a while, hasn’t it? Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been really busy with a handful of things. Oh yes, I’ve mastered new flavours! It’s Hershey’s Chocolate fudge flavoured. And another flavour - Nutella. It’s been really rewarding and yummylicious. I love them! I’ve been receiving a few cupcake orders.. just so you know, there is a minimum notice of a week for an order and all orders go by dozens (minimum is a dozen). I do party size cupcakes (smaller sized ones) as well and they are priced lower than the original ones. For interested parties, kindly send me an email at sugarinacupcakes@gmail.com 

I’ve taken photos of Kelvin’s order but have yet to put them up simply cause I’m procrastinating. Okayokay I will, soon enough. For now I’m off!  

Hello! I’m still alive and this place is still all cool. I’ve been busy lately and for the next 2 weeks, I’m booked for orders. Busyyyy! And an upcoming order in process too.

I’m gonna have an exchange of cupcakes with my friend Sam because I-am-just-so-addicted-to-her-oatmeal-cookies. Anyway, that’s all for now! Off to read my book and get plentiful of rest for school tomorrow.

Yippeeyay.

Tired tired tired. Been baking the entire day… For my friend, Lionel and a birthday gift for tomorrow’s party. I’m not really in the mood to write anything today so I’ll keep this entry short and sweet. This order is specially done for Lionel’s wife and it’s of the  ♥ L.O.V.E ♥ theme I’m glad Jen finds them yummy and loves the cream - that’s because I reduced the sugar by half so it wouldn’t be so sweet  I have yet to take any photos of the birthday cupcakes so I’ll leave that for the next entry.

I have another order by 1 July so I’m going to have to make a trip down to Phoon Huat for box supplies because silly me bought only a couple. Anyway, I’ve been all good and busy lately. My sister’s in L to the A and I’ve been accompanying my mom and spending some time with my good ol’ friends… and shopping   It’s time to get down to some serious bakin’ business!

xoxo ♥ 

*LONG ENTRY ALERTTTT* 

Hello there my fellow cupcake lovers!

  I’ve finally completed my 1st order (!!!!!!)

I was wondering… do you think SG$2.50 per cupcake is expensive? I don’t think it’s really justified to receive a comment like "so ex". I think you should try baking on your own and you’ll experience how it’s like. You’ll come to realise that it’s really about the effort (and it’s alotttt of effort) you put in from scratch till the cupcakes are completed and also the whole experience for the eater/customer, which cannot be measured in monetary terms. PLUS, this is a special order. I surprised Charlene by adding white chocolate into the cupcakes as the ones she ordered are plain vanilla and decorated with special toppings.

On a lighter note, I went to buy baking stuff yesterday and spent 150 bucks! Incredible. I almost died from yesterday’s heat and fever dizzy spells while walking back to the car (it was a longgg walk) with nearly 3kg of stuff tp carry zzZZ  but I’m very pleased that I bought everything that I thought I would need for this order and I really did use what I got!

I’m so excited for Charlene! ♥ I hope her colleagues and her will love the cupcakes *keeps her fingers crossed* She thought my previous cupcakes’ icing was very sweet. This time I made buttercream icing instead of royal icing. Yummmyyyy and I’m in love with fondant* (*Fondant is a sugar paste. Some would peel it off and not eat it as it doesn’t taste very pleasant but it really makes beautiful decorations.) and making it was absolutely….. painstaking. I also handmade little gifts for her (as you can see the materials I bought in my previous entry heh) and her colleagues!  I also did special packing to make sure that they are secure cause I was so afraid….cupcakes are really fragile, especially the icing! It gets really messy. It’s a real pity Cup-a-cake is not for international sale, otherwise I would get them. They are tupperware for cupcakes!

I met buds Weizhi for dinner at Hua Ting today. Was late cause I spent half the day in the kitchen baking! Although late, buds was really nice and patient, and! he got me my Mcqueen scarf!  Thankyou and I’m so glad you and your sister love the cupcakes! ♥

I’m going to bake cookies next. It’s been a longggg while since I baked sugar cookies. Yummmylicious… and I wanna ice them! Can’t wait!

Here are photos of the cupcakes I baked for Charlene today. *Warning: Image Heavy

Viola! Présentez….. la finale…. Sugarina Cupcakes’ 1st Order!

I GOT MY 1ST ORDER !!!!

Gonna get started by hunting for packaging sources and buying of ingredients… As for now, I’m feeling a little sickish so gonna see the doctor tomorrow then get my baking ingredients along the way. Hehhhh. I know my baking has been on a hiatus, I am just looking forward to the big project coming up this week! Hope it turns out well. I’m a baking noob… hehhhh.

I live for cupcakes though  

Got to post this up because I’m so hooked on chewing them gum balls! Lurvinnnn Sanrio cuteness

*Edit// Just bought them today 11 June (after having lunch at my favorite Sun with Moon and doctor’s )

I’m back! Heh. Unpacked my luggage to realise that I bought tons of things…and FOOD! I went crazy in the Muji over there, instead of buying my Krispy Kremes. Oh well, buds is going to bring back some from London for me! He’s staying for 3 months this time, finally I get to see him…. it’s been too long! He’s been missed! I’m chewing on a yellow gum ball right now. I bought Hello Kitty and My Melody gum ball machines from the Sanrio shop. Cuteness! 

I’m going to be maidless for a week or so…. sulks. I gotta do housework…but that’s not the bad part. The bad part is I can’t bake cause it’s a pain to do the dishes. I can do everything else but washing dishes and cleaning the floor Anyhow, I will update when I start baking!

Till then…..

I’m going to get my hands on and jammed up in cookie dough! Can’t wait. I just bought a new recipe book ENTIRELY ON COOKIES!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been on a hiatus this whole week cause I have many errands to run and…erm…. have been bumming in bed and watching lots of telly and korean drama dvd…  So hopefully I’ll get my hands on making cookies on Tuesday before I leave for Hong Kong on Friday! Very excited to sink my teeth into shiny glazed KRISPY KREMES tooooo v^_^v Missed them since my last London Krispy sugar overload…….

….. 

Whooopeeedoooo! It’s been too long since I last stepped into the kitchen. Daddykins prepared steamboat dinner today and it was fantastic. The soup my family prepares is always tasty and salt-MSG-free, with all natural ingredients (pork ribs, chicken bones, herbs and etc) and I had a good full dinna…with abalone, sea cucumber, roasted goose (which I ta bao-ed back from Imperial and had a bloated lunch) and THE UBER SWEET FLOWER CRAB that my Dad hand picked from the wet market! It really tasted very good. Which reminds me, I’m going to Long Beach for my Lobster feast SOON! Long due! I really live to eat heh.

p/s: Think I will put up a tagboard….been meaning to put one but the html is going to kill me cause blogsome isn’t like blogspot. Ggggrrrr 

Candylicious Sugarina Pink Cupcakes!

Turned out pretty well, except that while my cupcakes were baking in the oven… due to my impatient nature, I sneaked upstairs to enjoy some chilled air in my air conditioned room. The weather has been a killer!

When my cupcakes were ready… the color of the cupcakes was a tad too dark. I got a shock  Too caramelized I guess. The heat’s too much. Realllll hottttt. Because I forgot to lower the temperature to 160 degrees! *roars* It would’ve been perfect….

Oh! And I almost forgot to tell you about the icing. It went crazy on me. The icing sugar was a total disaster. It was so difficult to sieve, especially when the icing sugar kept forming into clumps and it was tedious when I used the cup sieve. So here’s a piece of advice, change to the traditional sieve while sieving icing sugar. It’s alot easier, use a metal spoon to press the sugar against the sieve too. Sugar goes through the holes in the sieve easier that way.

This is soooo sinful. You have no idea how much butter and sugar I used for these cupcakes (batter+cream glazing) and I already reduced the sugar and butter! Oh wellll…… Life’s too short… You gotta enjoy the food you love while you can!

Without sprinkles…

Cutesy rainbow sprinkles on pink sugary sweet rich cream cupcakes! 

I made a separate set of cupcakes for my family because they don’t really have sweet tooth like yours truly here so I added raisins and abit more vanilla essence into the batter. Turned the little petite cupcakes into muffins! 

On a random note… I snapped a photo of my backyard while getting restless in the kitchen…. My maid was boiling soup in the ancient way….I thought it was pretty cute. Heh

Tata for now! I’m gonna grab a cupcake for supper ♥ 

A bientot, mon chéri !
