Jaffa Cupcakes



Hey everyone!!

It was my second time making cupcakes for an engagement yesterday. (SO NERVOUS!!!!) Upon request, I made Orange Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache. At first, I suggested that it might not be very "wedding-y" since it was really dark in color and you usually see white frostings at weddings. The other option was glace icing but that would totally ruin the chocolate cake since it was sugary like Milo with sugar instead of milk (that was my analogy! haha!). So, I asked the client if she would prefer pretty weddingy cupcakes that clash in taste or cupcakes that tastes good but more Halloween that Wedding.

I am glad she chose the latter! Because these cakes are not sweet at all on its own. You can taste the chocolate and orange but there was just no zing to it. BUT with the chocolate ganache, it all comes together and party in your mouth! WOohooo! Well, in my opinion, anything with Chocolate Ganache is awesome. Hehehe...

Orange Chocolate Cupcakes $15 for a dozen
(made with fresh oranges!)

Happy Birthday Ka Ida's Mom-in-law!

Hellew everyone!

It seems that my Crazy Hippy Cupcakes are pretty popular! :D Thank you all who have been supporting Pip Pops!! These are really fun to make because of all the pretty colors but also quite tricky because I always worry that they burn or sink. Actually, I worry EVERYTIME I bake. I'm still getting used to my oven, noting where the hot spots are. I do burn some cupcakes now and then which is really frustrating but they successful outcomes are worth it. :D SO, please for my sake (hehehe), text me your feedbacks. :D I WORRY you know? hehehe..




Oh, I tried writing using a large tip which gave really cute results! They look quite whimsical, don't you think?

Happy Birthday Ms Sulia!

Cake: Crazy Hippy Cupcakes
Frostings: Buttercream and Cream Cheese

Tiramisooo

Haro everybody! :D It was my brother's birthday and I made a Tiramisu birthday cake. This recipe is from a good friend of mine who makes gorgeous Tiramisu. So, Tiramisu always reminds me of her kitchen and my uni days. It also reminds me of one funny evening when another friend and her boyfriend came over to my house and I served them Tiramisu. They arrived half-dead and zombie-like (tired and jet-lagged) and went home perky, hyper and could not shut down for sleep. Must have been the coffee. Hehehe!

I know, I know, I have horrible handwriting. Writing on cakes isn't easy, especially if you want to be fancy-schmancy :P Truthfully, I always dread writing on cakes/cupcakes because I fear people will hate my handwriting so much they think it ruins the cakes. :S

Teeny-Tiny Cakes

oh em geeeeeeeee!!!

One: I just added an archive and ONLY realized how much I blogged! I am SHOCKED. BUT in a good way. :D

Two: Look what's new on the menu! :D SO CUTE!!!!!! I was going to coat the bottoms with dark chocolate just like the recipe called for but I was a bit, erm, lazy to melt two types of chocolates, so, instead, I just melted white chocolate and tinted it brown. Hehe! But it did compromise the presentation a bit in the sense that the cupcake shape wasn't very distinct. It was still yummy nonetheless. :D

BUT not to worry. Yours will definitely be coated with the best dark chocolate. :D

PS. check out the satay sticks! LOL! I couldn't find plastic sticks that would look much prettier.

Crazy Hippy Cupcakes


Flavor: Vanilla

Wants something extra like cream cheese, buttercream or chocolate ganache? Email me for a price inquiry! :D





I have adjusted the colors of my Crazy Hippy Cupcakes to make it a lot more vibrant! And I think they've got loyal fans at MFA! Hehe! A splash of crazy colors sure perks you up when the going gets tough there at the ministry. I sure hope so. :D




Happy Birthday Dani!!


These cupcakes remind me of Christmas. The dark chocolate frosting looks like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, donchafink?

There is a horror story behind these birthday cupcakes. I was the accidental birthday-Grinch who stole Dani's Birthday. These cupcakes were missing their lettering "DANI" which were happily sitting in the freezer, innocently unaware that their intended was celebrating without them.

I AM SO SORRY DANI!!!!! :S

I do hope you had a wonderful birthday party nonetheless. :D

my mama and your feedbacks needed :D

Hey everyone!

I am currently expanding my Dessert Menu, so please come and visit regularly to see new flavors!!! I'm so excited about this! :D Anyhoooo... thank you again so very very much for your support for Pip Pops! :D I never thought I would be selling cakes, but here I am! :D I have my great friend Ratna to thank because she was the one who pushed me and found me my first client when I was still not established. :D Alhamdulillah... it's just small but syukur, it is a giant achievement for me. I just need to work on my decorating skills hehehe!

I know... I know... it's not my best department. I'm gonna let you in on a secret. If you get really lovely looking cupcakes, yep, that's my mom there. She knows where to draw the line between "elegant/cute" and "just tacky". :S Come decorating, I am usually all panicky. I almost always end up with plain looking cupcakes or wonky ones. But my MOM has this magic touch. She always finds a way to spruce up my boring looking cupcakes to CUPCAKES! Thank you mamaaaaaaaaaaa...! :D Soon, I'll probably need to hire her! Hehehe!

Anyway, thank you for your support so far, despite my wonky looking cupcakes haha! Insya Allah, I will work very hard on my decorating skills. I am heavy handed but you can help me by telling me how to improve or simply giving feedback. :D Please email me what you think of my cupcakes or simply text me. :D Thank you!

I love you guys! :D
