Baking wedding favours-cookies

These are just some sample cookies i made for a potential client's wedding. Hope she likes it. :) 



NUMBER 1: 
Bride cookie-hand drawn and hand painted
I simply love the boldness of the red. It's so eye-catching. 



NUMBER 2: 
Gown cookies in white, with sugar blossoms and ribbons. Simply a classic-quiet & understated. 



NUMBER 3: 
Tiered wedding cake cookies decorated with pear sparkles, ribbons and sugar blossoms.

Mini-Croquembouche

After several hours of hard work later: 

TADAAAAH 

Croquembouche 


Croquembouche is a French cake traditionally made to celebrate christening or a wedding. It
 comes from the French "croquant"-meaning crackling and "bouche" for mouth. Referring to the crackling of the mouth sensation when eating this French dessert. 

It is made up of profiteroles (small cream puffs) filled with creme patissiere held together by delicate swirl of caramel spun cobwebs.

On to serious business

My motto :  Whatever theme cake your heart desires, I would attempt to create it


Customized Celebration cakes

 

Elaborate celebration cakes (1-3 tier cakes)

Mini-Cupcakes for special occasions

 

Would normally take up to 3-5days for completion-advanced reservation is required 

 

Procedure starts off with a sit down discussion with the client on what kind of theme or cake they would like.

  1. Find out about the likes and hobbies of recipient
  2. What occasion it is for-wedding, birthday, baby shower etc
  3. Costing and budgeting 

 

Costing and budgeting

  •  Calculation based on man-hours put in
  • Cost of materials
  • Difficulty of the cake
