Despicable Me - Syahida's Cupcakes

Thank you Miss Syahida Samad for the order - rose essence-flavoured heart-in-a-cupcake with Despicable Me theme. Made these a bit denser than usual as support considering that the fondant figures are on the heavy side, but I believe it may have affected the taste..Sorry for any shortcomings - will improve on that!

I love them all.. There is even a story behind it all with the minions! The conversation goes something like this -

Pink! Simple and Sweet

Thank you Ms Wendy Hii for the order today. Wishing little princess Ashley a Happy Birthday and many happy returns!

Ms Wendy specified a simple enough design (simple and sweet) but it was challenging as my free hours are short during working weekdays. This is the design (top layer) which serves as my pattern guide for the cake -

The design requires a tall cake therefore two rounds of baking were required. The base colour was brink pink so a large amount of time was spent mixing the colours to get a close enough shade of pink.

As for the cupcakes Ms Wendy requested for the hidden heart cupcakes as below and agreed that the colours for the deco shall be oppose to the cake. This is my second time attempting this type of cupcake. The picture below was the first and the hearts were red velvet whereas this round I have changed them to bright pink strawberry flavoured hearts.

This is the final results of last night (or more precisely, early this morning):
