Happy Full Moon Baby Xin Yv!!!

My dear friend Cho, whom first encouraged / TRICKED me into making cupcake in large scale (oh, didn't I tell you that months nearing her wedding, I thought I was supposed to make cupcakes for her wedding ceremony but it turned out she wanted them for her wedding dinner... all 300 of them, to be served at the dinner for the distinguish wedding guests... **I sweated for months just thinking about it**). 

Well, now Cho is a proud mom to Xin Yv (pronounce as Xin Ee as in Yvonne) who just turned 7 weeks!   I was given the honour to make the cupcakes to celebrate her new baby's arrival.  This time round, I was already comfortable making them on large and even larger scale!  BRING IT ON BABY!!

She was very nice to allow me ample time to complete the project.  Uh...3 weeks! 

The star of the cupcake is of course, the topper.  Since it was going to be baby theme, we researched and decided on 3 designs.   A pacifier, a sleeping baby and a bib.   I slaved over these topper till the very last second.  The on and off wet weather didn't help me.  Sighs.  Remember what I told you before: rain and sugarpaste = archenemy.  Nemesis till the end of ages.  Full on blood and gore.   I hope you get a clearer picture now.

But in spite of the hard labour and many hours into the late nights, I thoroughly enjoyed making all these with my hands.  Bare hands.  No other foreign hands may touch my little babies!  I realise now that .. is this what you call passion?!    haaaaa.... je comprends maintenant! 

Preparation...

Preparation....

Then you bake the cupcake! 

Then you hold each cupcake in your hand ..

... and chop off the head.  HAHHAHA!  brutal, no?

Don't you worry, the 'heads' are safely tucked in my kids' stomachs.  Nothing goes to waste in my house!!

Now the cake topper.  A Bib.

A pacifier.  See that pram embossing.  I got nifty tools from UK! 

 A sleeping babe.  With a snuggly blanket with a bear embossing.  Also, another nifty tool from the UK!

I only made one of this.  Special for the first time mom.  Welcome to motherhood, dear!!

The mom specially designed this.  Her kulis did the rest!  Good, hardworking kulis are hard to find. 

Good hardworking kulis deserve good lunch and dinner.  Enuff said.

The complete package.

All packed and sealed..

ready to fly!

Actually.  I am a little sad to see my babies go.  

Fly babies fly....go delight someone's life..as I know you are apt to do...
