Official Blog for CupcakesNotWar

I'm so excited! I launched CupcakeNotWar shortly before Christmas. I used to have an old site selling cupcakes and other desserts but i decided to move it here at CupcakesNotWar!

Well, the layout and how I presented my products was rather messy and all over the place. Hope this site is a better one!

&&&&&&&!! My friends have started ordering cupcakes from me again. I remembered stopping for a year and a half to concentrate on my school and work (it was during my internship period in Poly) and I remember being quite a workaholic.. Now, I've entered University and apparently the timetable provides me quite a bit of free time, thus I started baking again and able to work part-time!

Anyway, not to digress.... Last week, my oldest friend, Sheila ordered Chocolate and Vanilla cupcakes with white and blue icing.. I didn't have much time to take much fancy shots.. :(


And this week, Joanna & Baoming both ordered 6 Vanilla and 6 Chocolate cupcakes each! Joanna requested vanilla and chocolate icing and I decided to give Baoming the same icing since he was so flexible with everything..



Jo's cupcakes with mini hearts, gold stones and chocolate rice:


Baoming's cupcakes:


He actually asked for mini hearts with personalized wordings (which I will not say here, for fear of embarrassing him and he wouldn't support me anymore) for a girl. But at the last minute he backed out and just want to consume the cupcakes himself.. So I gave him an assortment of sprinkles..

Baoming, if you see this, use the cupcakes as an opportunity as well! Give it a try dude. HAHAHAHA....

That's all for now, shall get ready for class. TATA!

Hi everyone!

Just got back from Hokkaido, Japan 2 days ago.. It was awesome there!! The weather was so cold and up in the mountains, it can get as cold at -14C!!

Anyway, my friend, Amanda invited me to her 21st birthday party! The theme was BRIGHT COLOURS, thus I tried to make the cupcakes for her as bright and colourful as possible! Hope she liked it!





Happy 21st Birthday Amanda!

Today, I was just sitting at home feeling bored and I decided to try some new recipes which I found in some recipe books that I own.

I made Strawberry & Marbled cupcakes!



Those 2 flavours are now available for sale. I decided to try to make the marble one out of inspiration because my mom bought a marbled cake and I just wanted to transform it into cupcake sizes! :D Doesn't look as marble-y as I would have liked. But it tastes great nonetheless. Vanilla flavoured with hints of chocolate every now and then.

Halfway through my baking therapy, my friend, Joanna PM-ed me on Facebook saying she wants to order cupcake from me. Finally found my reason to justify my baking frenzy! She wanted 15 cupcakes, so I made another batch of Chocolate flavoured cupcakes and gave her 5 Strawberry, 5 Marbled, and 5 Chocolate cupcakes!



Hope she likes them!

I'll be giving the remainder cupcakes to my Best friend, Nic, who'll be looking after my hamster, Buibui, while I travel to Hokkaido! Also, some to my university friend whom I'm meeting tomorrow for Karaoke!

Tata! Time to wash my hamster cage. :(
