Pretty in Pink!

I am thrilled to be able to do pink cakes this week, due to the fact that I have two boys (and my darling Husband) and I am the only girl in the household.  There's no way that I would make pink cakes.  The first cake I made was a joint effort between the birthday girl's Mom, who I met through Robert's school and we've been best coffee buddies ever!  She baked the cakes and I decorated the cake with her.  Of course, my little mister chatterbox kept on talking about his new game, angry birds - knock on wood, in the background while we're doing the cake, but we managed to finish the cake in just about an hour or so.

The second cake is for a little girl who celebrates her one month birthday!  It's customary in Chinese/Indonesian tradition to celebrate the one month old baby.  We would have a little gathering with our close friends and family, have some yummy food, and of course, some cake!  I was pretty bushed at the end of the day and I didn't do a proper "photoshoot" with the cakes.  Please forgive my quick and instant "background" for the cake.  Hope you all enjoy these cakes as much I did.

Happy Valentine's Day

Sugar Penguins wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.  Eat lots of chocolates today, I know I will....

First post for 2012!

New Year's resolution: stop making new year's resolution I can't commit.  Always fail. *SIGH*

But, aside from that, Sugar Penguin took another step in social networking, we're now on Twitter@SugarPenguin!  The reason I don't have twitter is that I don't know what to say and those hashtags?  Still no clue.  Nevertheless, go and join us on Twitter and get ready to see behind the scene and updates from Sugar Penguin!  

I made a promise to my dear sis-in-law that I would make a Snoopy Cake for Xmas get-together.  We envisioned Snoopy sleeping on top of his red doghouse, decorated with Xmas lights.  Sadly, I was too consumed with my turkey for Xmas, I totally didn't have time to make it.  I was still obsessed with making Snoopy, so, I decided to play around a little bit.  

The inspiration came from the coke ornament bottle that I bought for hubby at walmart before Xmas.  I've been wanting to make a snow globe cake ever since Bakerella made the Coca Cola snow globe cupcake.  My Sis-in-law lovessss snow globe, so it's perfect timing to make that snow globe on a cake!

So, here it is!

  

 

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a(n early) Happy New Year!

It's been a BUSY year for me, with crying babies and countless diaper changes.  Many milestones to remember and cherish.  Just like each one of the cake created, each told a different story to remember and cherish.
Thank you for making us a part of your special occasion!  Have a blessed New Year...

Best wishes from the Sugar Penguin Household :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Angry Birds Redux

There's something about these birds that you just can't say goodbye to.  The more you play the game, the more you get addicted to it.  I managed to wean myself off completely, finally, but they pull me back in as I have to revisit them as I got to do yet another Angry Birds cake.  When do you have the time, you asked, as my days are always filled with things to do (and clean)?  I worked on these little guys at night, after the boys are all asleep, where there's peace and quiet in the world... :)

My grown-up-so-fast Robert was so sad as he had to say goodbye to the Angry Birds cake, as the customer picked it up.  He shed a little tear and said, "No, Mommy, don't..."  It broke my heart a little, but hey, his birthday is coming up in January, so he is bound to get an Angry Birds cake!

Here's another version of my Angry Birds cake:
