Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
I’d like to share with you today how I created these sugar flowers. The pictures were taken back in April but I have completely forgotten about them shortly after. Gum paste can be rolled very thinly without tearing and dries up rock hard, which makes it an excellent candidate for sugar flower creations. Having said... Continue Reading →
I made a Pokemon Go themed fondant cake for my friend’s daughter for her birthday party last week and here’s how I constructed the Pokeball cake topper. It was styrofoam ball inside and I made it half-opened with a little Pikachu figurine standing on top. My Pokeball was approximately 3” in diameter but it can... Continue Reading →
Two years ago I wrote about Swiss meringue buttercream on my facebook page and then several months later I placed all three links in my blog post My Three FB Posts Regarding Swiss Meringue Buttercream. And today I'm sharing with you a completely new formula that contains even less sugar and with a firmer texture.... Continue Reading →
This was my third time making this cute little Lightning McQueen cupcake. When I made them the first time 2.5 years ago I used brown M&M’s for the wheels and yellow ones for the headlights. I also rolled red modelling chocolate into a rope and wrapped it around the white windshield as a border. The... Continue Reading →
I am sharing with you how I make my sugar lace from scratch. I’ve tried a few different recipes before but this gives the best result. I love how flexible and soft the laces are. This recipe is adapted from Lea’s Cooking. I added clear lemon (and sometimes vanilla) extract to the paste as the... Continue Reading →

This was my first time making fondant animal figurines. I created a bunny and a horse for my friend's daughters who were born in the years of the rabbit and the horse and used the figurines to decorate their birthday cake. 這是EC首次做動物翻糖裝飾，朋友的兩個女兒生肖是兔和馬，所以EC用翻糖做了小兔子與小馬來裝飾她們的生日蛋糕。 I will first share with you how I made the fondant bunny. I... Continue Reading →
I made a soccer themed cake for my friend’s son Adrian in April. Here is how I created the soccer ball cake topper. All the measurements and cutting were done by hand so were likely to prone to human errors. The shapes should be adjusted slightly and accordingly during the construction. Simply cover up the not-so-great... Continue Reading →
The following was my sharing from my Facebook page back in Sep 2014. I’d like to transfer it over to my blog so my readers can look it up easily. Read about my original post here. 以下是EC在2014年9月時於Facebook專頁內的分享，現在為它搬家方便網友查閱，原文可按這裡。 Evenly distributed cupcake batter = Same-sized cupcakes = Tons of compliments..."oh did you make them? They look so... Continue Reading →
