๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ปโœจ Happy Halloween! โœจ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ๐Ÿ’€
.
Hope you're all having a great 31st of October!! What does everyone actually do for Halloween? Genuine question!

My favourite things about Autumn are:
๐Ÿ‚ Reddish/ brown-y/ orange-y hues all over the floor and trees.
๐Ÿ‚ Seeing the different leaves fall while walking down the street feels like I'm the main character in my own music video.
๐Ÿ‚ Pumpkin everything everywhere is so cute.
๐Ÿ‚ IT'S SWEATER WEATHER!

Thanks Nicole & Gigi for letting me bake some Halloweeny cupcakes for your team! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ
@nixierodrigues @gigi_chann

I love Autumn but once November hits, I'm soooo ready for Christmas!!! ๐ŸŽ„โ˜ƒ๏ธ๐ŸŽ

Welcome Halloween Week! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›
.
Entering the week of everything Halloween, I made this for my family and friends to enjoy!
I call this: ใ€ŒBlack cat in Pumpkinใ€
Pumpkin/orange coloured choux bun filled with black cocoa crรจme diplomat, crunchy chocolate wafer disc, fresh raspberries and dark chocolate crispy pearls - this cat has all sorts of delicious textures!

I always draw out my ideas before creating. Always.
For me, I need to visualise it and see the layout drawn out before attempting the actual product. I find doing this not only helps you map out what it should look like, but also if you need to make any adjustments before it's too late.

POV: I don't really believe black cats are bad luck, all cats are cute regardless of their coat.

What are you all making for Halloween?

I don't usually do anything for Halloween, but as I get older I'm trying to embrace all seasons and festivities because there's just too much sadness happening in the World!

Congratulations to the newlyweds ๐Ÿ’’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŽ‰

This was THE BIGGEST strawberry shortcake I've ever made! Using nearly 2.2kg of fresh strawberries and 3kg of cream, this cake was a true strawberries and cream heaven!! ๐Ÿ˜

Custom made for an intimate wedding, the Bride chose the design and specifically wanted a rectangular cake, which was really unique! The cake was so large it didn't fit in my fridge, so I had to chill it in two parts and piece it together, such a fun project I had loads of fun making this ๐Ÿฅฐ

It's always an ABSOLUTE honour and privilege to bake for someone's special day whether it's a birthday, wedding, celebration or gathering, I always feel so blessed they chose my baked creations to celebrate with them.

Happy weekend ๐ŸŽ‰

Happy 4 years @yicraftslondon ๐Ÿ’™โœจ๐Ÿ’™โœจ๐Ÿ’™
.
It was an honour and pleasure to bake for Yiran and her team at YiCrafts to celebrate their 4th year ๐ŸŽ‰โœจ

Yiran kindly shared some of her favourite pattern designs and to encapsulate this into their celebration cake.
I used Swiss buttercream so the colours will pop a lot more than if I added colour to cream. Theres also a subtle blend between white and blue to offer the dye-ing technique in fabric.

This was such a rewarding and fun cake to make; I really love when a creation is made from ideas and imagination! It's so fun!

Inside is a classic Chinese sponge cake with fresh cream and fresh strawberries. ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“

Mango cakes to start the weekend! ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฐ
.
Two bespoke mango cakes for two special celebrations: anniversary & birthday.
When I started my pastry chef journey, I was given a piece of advice from my inspiring and wise chef/tutor, "if you're going to make something with lemon, make sure you can REALLY taste it." Which sounds like obvious advice, but it's really not that obvious! Sometimes in baking, flavours are altered either from certain processes, cooking methods or just simply not that flavoursome -: so make sure you taste and adjust!

These mango cakes are jam-packed with mango inside and out just in case you forget what fruit you ordered.
๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿฅญ

Have a great weekend! โ™ฅ๏ธโœจ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Mooncakes - complete! โœ…๐Ÿฅฎโœจ
.
After a fun (long) week and two all-nighters of mooncake mayhem, it's time to move onto the next fun festive seasons, which are:
๐ŸŽƒ Halloween
๐ŸŽ„ Christmas (my ultimate favourite holiday of the year)

To conclude the Mid-Autumn fun, I cooked, hand-pressed and moulded around ~840 pieces of mooncake; that's only relating to the whole completed pieces and not the individual filling balls and pastry coating๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
I think I was a bit too ambitious here opting for four flavours, but I just knew I needed to keep it fun for me AND for you (and your tastebuds, d'uh).

The biggest struggle was -and is always- storage. Constant organised rotation was required. However, the positive of this constraint humbles your workaholic mind, reminding one to ONLY DO WHAT YOU CAN DO; which I obviously, so stubbornly, never listen to.
Whilst taking mooncake orders, I also took on events, markets and baked buns. I'm insane, I know. My shoulder blades are now blades of steel...joking.

Thank you to ALL those who believed in my mooncakes - I honestly am so honoured and grateful to bake something and celebrate such a meaningful festival with you ๐Ÿฅฎ๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿฎ
I'm sorry for those I did not get to bake for, as it was my first time, I truly did not anticipate a large demand, so I'm still surprised! I'll work on a better system next year promise ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Overall, thank you, thank you, thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
I'm forever thankful for all the love, support and BELIEF you give me and my bakes.

Happy Autumn! The autumnal leaves are starting, bring out the pumpkins! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚
