Lego Cookies for a 6 year old

y

Here's an idea for a Lego themed birthday party for a 6 year old boy. Rectangle shaped butter cookies topped with Royal icing as Lego pieces. Each cookie was packed individually and given out as party treats. RM2 per cookie!

Toy Story cake with Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jesse


A friend asked if I could do a Toy Story cake with Buzz, Woody and Jesse on it. I have not attempt making figurines out of sugarpaste. It was fun but more practice, I must do. My Woody looked like he has put on extra extra pounds! and I couldn't quite get the red colour right. Would love to do another one.

Wedding cake Purple Roses


Made this wedding cake for my cousin Maya's wedding reception at Jeumpa D'Ramo. She loves roses and the reception's theme colour was purple. The cake was a madeira cake, I coated the cake with marzipan before applying the Royal icing for that nice pearly look. Also did the roses with Royal icing.



Helped do the pelamin for her. Used up all the material my mother kept from our wedding. Helping out with wedding preparation is one of my many hobbies.

Thank you Maya and Mak Ngoh!

Oatmeal and Raisins Cookie


I have spare oatmeal, raisins and time, I've always loved the taste of old-fashioned oatmeal cookies and found a do-able recipe, so made this wholesome tasty treat for the boys. First bite and Akasyah said, "Wow Bunda, this is really good!". My sons never fail to flatter their Bunda's bakes. But seriously, I was blown away by the wonderful taste of the cookies myself. Got the recipe from the big baking book Mrika gave me.

Wedding cake for Mimie & Faqrul


Congratulations to Mimie & Faqrul.

Chocolate Cake covered with Fondant Icing, decorated with blue Fondant roses.

Cinnamon Rolls with Chocolate Chips Filling


My boys love the Cinnabons and we always have to stop and buy them every time we walk pass it. Because they like the cinnamon rolls so much and have asked me many times to make the rolls at home, I figure why not?

I use a simple bread recipe. Roll out the bread dough into a rectangle shape. Spread melted butter, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon powder and chocoloate chips and roll the dough into a log shape and slice. The boys insisted on helping me with the sprinkling, so I let them help. Messy but fun!

And because we had so much fun making these rolls, we made another batch the next day.

Akasyah's Choo Choo Train Cake



My baby turned 6 last Friday and I am proud. Baked him a choo choo train chocolate cake for his school. He goes to Insight-kids Pre-school. A very good pre-school, I highly recommend it. Of course the best thing about the school is that it is just across the street from home. Haha!

Anyway, did the cake with a little bit of frosting. Didn't want to put too much because the cake is already molded nicely. My sister Tiah, bought the cake mould from a cake shop in Aberdeen called Lakeland for BP26.99. Pricey, but worth it!



I baked choo choo train cookies for the party packs. I didn't have time to frost all the cookies, so I decided to give the children a 'Frost your own cookie" Kit. Asked Akasyah what he thinks, he thought it was, "Brilliant idea, Bunda!".



In each kit has a cookie, a frosting tube, a bag of sprinkles and a cookie recipe card (made by mrixiepixie, a very dear friend of bakinglab...hehehe).

The children loved the cake and their goodies!
