Bicycle Diaper Cake

Another diaper cake for a baby boy shower.

My friend. Mi-Mi, loved the tricycle diaper cake I made for Rob and Kelly. This time we teamed up to make one for her niece, Nina. She brought the materials we need and assembled them together. When we finished diaper cake with bicycle cake topper, we noticed that we didn't have a plush toy - the bike rider! I'm resourceful so called my friend John Johnson to borrow his children's plush toys for the purpose of picture taking!

Here it is.... the finish product - bicycle diaper cake!

Baby Shower Diaper Cakes and Cake

Robert and Kelly Lau are expecting a twin - a girl and a boy. The perfect pair! To make the celebration fun, a baby carriage diaper cake is for the baby girl and a tricycle diaper cake is for the baby boy.

For the guest, a slice of moist and delicious mocha sponge cake filled with Italian meringue butter cream. The fondant was airbrushed with warm brown food coloring.

Inside the baby carriage diaper cake for baby girl are more diapers, receiving blankets, onesies, pacifiers, baby bottles, blanket, nipples, and toys (see basket on right for twin baby boy - exactly the same, but different colors).

Here are more closer picture of the each diaper cake.

And, here's a closer look of the cake for the guests.

Upon assembly, both couples were so happy with the result of the diaper cakes and were also pleased with the edible cake toppers.

Abby Cadabby Fun Cake (My First Halal Cake)

Making this cake at 31 weeks pregnant wasn’t easy. I was standing for an extended period of time with a huge canon ball around my belly that always gets in the way. Since cake decorating is my hobby and my passion, I can’t complain. I was having a great time decorating this cake for a beautiful 2-year little girl named Hifza. I am so proud of my work how it turned out. Abby Cadabby is just so adorable character!

The bottom tier cake was a vanilla sponge cake filled with Italian meringue vanilla-flavored buttercream with layers of crushed pineapples. The top tier was a chocolate cake with Italian meringue hazelnut-flavored buttercream.

To make a cake with Halal ingredients was a challenge. Some special ingredients requires researching if it is vegetable or animal derived ingredients. The ingredients I used for this cake have to be purchased in certain locations. And I am so pleased and happy that I was able to produce my very first Halal birthday fun cake! I really love how the cake turned out to be. There’s so much going on that it doesn’t look busy, yet it really look a child’s cake.

Hifza’s mom’s (Sofia) Remarks:

Thank you so much! It was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!! You are extremely. talented!!!!

Summer Wedding

My husband's cousin (Cindy) e-mailed me asking if I can make an authentic Filipino cake - ube cake. Ube cake is a purple sweet yam cake, which is one of Filipino's favorite delicacy. In my experience, ube cake is very challenging to make as it requires mashed, or finely grated purple yam that tends to absorb the liquid in the batter and could result in a dry cake.

For this gorgeous wedding cake, the cake is a sponge “ube” cake filled with Filipino buttercream and layers of macapuno. Macapuno is a young coconut preserve.



The cake is adorned with marshmallow-butter-flavored fondant. The flowers are chrysanthemum orchids, airbrushed and dusted with edible, African violet petal dust.

The challenge for this cake it to maintain it’s shape due to the extreme heat wave of the summer. The temperature outside the wedding venue was 110 deg F and the weather inside the building was 70 deg F (not accounting the body heat from at least 150 guests). My concern was the “will the buttercream melt and ruined the shape of the cake?” Overall, the cake was moist and tasted authentically Filipino. The bride, groom, and guests were very pleased with the taste and right balance of the sweetness.

No wasted cake and no leftovers to bring home!

Remarks from Cindy:

Thanks Ev! the cake was a success! Chrissie Seto and Alan Perez and their guests really enjoyed the cake!
