AB Overloaded: Angry Birds Birthday Cupcakes

For those who really likes Angry Birds, I guess you wont find bored to find all these creations. Since Iim blogging on Angry Birds series these 2 weeks, these are my exclusive designed Birthday Cupcakes with wonderful cakes texture underneath the decoration. For peeping these inner cakes' texture, see my "Hokkaido Cake" here. I always want to create something that not only nice to see but also nice to eat too :)

You must be wondering why there are only 8 cupcakes here; the reason is Zaliha's boy was celebrating his 8 years' old birthday in past 2 weeks ago. Apologized that I only have some time this week to post it in my blog, she has been looking forward about this post for quite some time. According to her, her boy loves Angry Birds so much. I still remember the comments from her after posted my 1st ever Angry Birds Cupcakes for the orphans; that's why I tried to find time to bake for him by hook and by crook.

That's all for today - KISS (Keep it Simple & Sweet). Enjoy the photo & the "Angry Bird Game" below:

Angry Birds Seasons: Female Red Bird Birthday Cake

This is the continue post from my blog yesterday - "1st Ever Angry Birds Birthday Cake". Sophie's 2nd Birthday cake for her birthday celebration in the nursery center. Definitely, she has caught plenty of attention for having 2 big birthday cakes within 2 days time, envy her indeed!

For her 2nd Birthday cake order, I've changed some of the design of this cake, surround it with my handmade icing flowers instead of the ribbon. With the theme of Angry Birds Seasons, I've used most of my time to decorate the most difficult figure - Female Red Bird especially the part of her eyelashes, thinner eyebrows,and wears a yellow bow on the top of her head.

The overview of the designer cake, 3 pigs VS 3 Angry Birds! + eggs !!!

Mission accomplished!!

1st Ever Angry Birds Birthday Cake

After 3 months of Hankerie's establishment, this is my first ever BIG birthday cake order as well as my another Angry Birds masterpiece.This is indeed a meaningful work as I'm making this with whole heartily which dedicated to one of my fan here - Yvonne. She is indeed a wonderful mum to give this as special birthday gift for her lovely 3 years old daughter - Sophie Maya. This customized designer cake is specially baked for her. I really admire her daughter so much, totally feel lucky for her as her mum really doted her very much. Back to my old time, the best birthday cake that I have only the normal ice cream cake. Anyway, times changed, it's always lucky to celebrate your own birthday with family, be it with or without cake.

This 9-inchi chocolate moist cake with Angry Birds Fondant icing used up my 2 days to fully complete it. Well, it is not consumed 2 full days, the reason is I need to do few hours after work each day to make it until perfect. Glad that Rachel, all the way from Brunei did the great help to do some figures on the night before. Both of us still baked until 1.30am that night. Now, I realized that I no longer do baking alone, such a nice moment to bake together with your close friends seriously.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Sophie, happy birthday to you...."

See this happy family celebrate the daughter's 3 years old birthday with my lovely designer cake :) - photo provided by Yvonne

My special designed Angry Birds Birthday cake which I would love to simulate the games.

Another exciting blog coming tomorrow, surprise again for the 2nd time......

Conducting Baking Class - by Hankerie

This is my long awaited session in my life - conducting one and only one baking class specially in Miri here (realization of my "Calling all the Baking Enthusiasts"). Sharing my baking passion, the secret of mastering the baking's basic to those who has the same interest, this is the best ever farewell gift before leaving Miri for good. Undeniably, I can see those baking enthusiasm of all my students, even some of them are beginners. Of course, I hope this spirit can continues in them after I leave later.

9th October was my only weekend to stay back at Miri after my Bario trip. Thank God that there is no delay of my flight back from Bario, else my baking class definitely cannot start on time. Before baking class starts, I've prepared all the required baking ingredients for all my students as well as my Hankerie's recipe. :) For me, I would prefer more interactive session, rather than I'm the one who only do the lecture all the time.

See below for those happy moments throughout this half of the day's baking session.

1.) Everybody busying weighing their required raw materials.

2.) My 2nd session of chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese filling - before sending into oven. Split into 3 groups for this activity, seems like everybody so excited about that. Definitely you cannot find this in any bakery shop!!

3.) After freshly baked from oven, this is our best high tea while serving it hot.

4.) Even the kids would love to learn together too!!

5.) 3rd Group activities - English Scone with raisin & chocolate. 

6.) All lovely mums baked together with their sweetie. Such a wonderful moment to see that too.

7.) Taking the group photo with their own bakes. A successful achievement.

8.) Demo session of Hokkaido Bread with raisin, too bad not enough time to bake it as the proofing time took more than the baking class hours. Brought it to office today for some of the students.

Baking class ending.......

Zombies vs Plants Game featured Cake

One of my Hankerie's fan requested on this special cake for her father. She was saying that her father loves Zombies and plants very much, and she hope can get this featured cake for her father during his birthday this year at KL. Unfortunately, I wont not be at KL during that time. As such, this special cake model was only specially designed for her father virtually :(


For those who do not know what are these ugly creatures - Zombies vs Plants, they are actually a tower defense action game developed and originally published by PopCap Games for iphone and subsequently in Facebook games as well. The game involves a homeowner using many varieties of plants to repel an army of zombies from "eating their brains". In Plants vs. Zombies, players place different types of plants and fungi, each with their own unique offensive or defensive capabilities, around a house in order to stop a horde of zombies from devouring the brains of the residents. The playing field is divided into a number of horizontal "lanes", and with rare exceptions, a zombie will only move towards the player's house along one lane (the main exception is if it has scented a garlic). Most plants can only attack or defend against zombies in the lane they are planted in. Zombies attempt to devour any plants in their way while heading towards the house.

Having fun with these zombies and plants, I will just eat the cake with fondant icing happily :)

See some close out photo below:

Ugly zombie...

I love all these crazy plants (from left - onion, mushroom, tomato, corn, chilly and plant). Tried to make it as scary but in the same time to make it cute too.

Hope this Zombies vs Plants Game featured Cake can be part of any Halloween party too! At least some exotic cake in this unique event this year :)

Happy Halloween.
