Pirate Cake

Made this for a pirate theme party for a lil boy

Castle & Crown Birthday Cake

Made this for both the monkey's birthday party this year. Went through a lot of effort from concept to execution with this cake. Wanted an entirely different spin to what was available in the castle cake dept in Chennai.
But its basically a rainbow cake and rainbow cupcakes dressed up as a castle with a crown on top and individual cupcakes with the names of each lil guest on them.


Of course, I did'nt want fondant cos then it wud taste terrible and the kids wud'nt enjoy eating it as much. Also, since I had to transport it lock, stock and unwieldy barrel, i ended up improvising a lot.

Am extra-ordinarily thrilled with the cake boards with the pink bows...the center one is pink faux fur - sooo over the top! and the 2 Barbies were free gifts with the Macdonald's kiddy meal that i glue-penned in the sleeves and bodice and dressed in silver and pink net skirts over their minis!

A New Year Greeting

...sent across to my neighbor Vidya n husband Sagar...moist chocolate mini cakes with oodles of strawberries n cream topp'd with a swirl of cream n choc dipped strawberries

Birthday Cake

Rich Moist Chocolate Cake filled with strawberries n cream, frosted over with cream and decorated with cream swirls, scrolls and fondant flowers n finished with ribbons and pearls. Individual cupcakes with the name of each lil guest were an unprecedented success...wow! n the reaction....totally worth the extra effort.

Zack's Cupcakes

Zack from Rubicon was the happy recipient of this lot of cupcakes...he had done some neat photography work for us ( People for Animals,Chennai) pro bono. He loved them cupcakes ... told Shiranee that he'd be most happy to do anything for us as long as we paid in the preferred currency...cupcakes!
The design was inspired by Isha, my 4 n half yr old- its quite an accomplisment getting stuff done when u have 10 sticky little fingers itching to stick themselves into every batter n mix n demanding to help..with her on a stool next to me, peering over my shoulder n raring to participate, i wanted to make the design simple .. something that she could relate to n think was cool

Girly girl Cake

This was soo much fun to decorate ... m pretty crazy bout swirls, n went pretty overboard! Made this for a 16 yr old. her mom told me she was very girly n feminine so went all out for a girly n cool look. Chk out the silver balls in between n diff sizes ....pretty cool huh? The kid loved it, thought it soo pretty n did'nt want to cut it!

Elegant Cupcakes

Cupcakes with Sprinkles

Good ol chocolate cupcakes with fluffy white frosting n sprinkles n strawberries...made for Priya's ( my sis-in-laws )family when they came visiting to Chennai en masse to chk out vg's n pri's fancy new dwellings

Barbie Sisters Cake

Was made for a combined birthday party for both my daughters Isha(4) & Shradha(1) - they're born 3 years & 10 days apart
made it a sisters theme with 2 Barbies on the cake and 60 matching chocolate cupcakes with co-ordinated pink n white frosting.....the main cake was totally six large cakes in all with 7-min frosting
now, the setting i'm rather proud of...every step was improvisation...was a hindu holiday of some kind the day before, so all the shops were closed, had to run across to Amijikarai ( !!! ) and source the pink and satin from a Bhai's shop! .......bought strands of imitation white n pink pearls too with the silver ribbon n jus plain forgot to use them! personally, i can't stand Barbie!! n don't get them any, cos m on a never-ending crusade to convince Isha that Barbie is a sissy girl n a silly goose! thas not the way if u wanna be a tough chick like mama, baby...
