Rediffusion Announcer

When I was little, I took the little square box mounted on a wall in the dining room of my uncle’s house for granted. All day, there will be radio drama, Chinese opera, songs and story telling from the little square box. This little black was was an alternative to the radio, the cable radio station Rediffusion.

Birthday girl, Anna, was an announcer with Rediffusion in the 1960’s. According to her daughter, Ann, this cake brought back a lot of memories for her.

A big hit in 1965 was “Help!” by the Beatles. Elvis was also a popular choice. On the turntable is Petula Clark’s “Downtown”.

My husband was also an announcer with Rediffusion in the 60’s. He was the technical advisor for the design of the console. Yes, the console was that plain. This was the 1960’s before stereo sound, equalizer, digital sound etc!

Garden of virtues

Throughout our lives, we meet many people some of whom become a big influence in our lives. Karen is one such person. When I heard that her birthday was coming up, I wanted to make her a special cake which reflected her importance to me. This design made me think of the many virtues she has shown me and others whose lives she touched and how she has “grown” these virtues in us. That’s why I thought of a garden themed cake.

Cupcakes: Pucca

Every 9-year-old girl seems to have a fascination for Pucca. Ok, maybe it’s just Jia Jia and my daughter. I must admit I find Pucca and the other characters in the cartoon quite cute and they’re definitely dream faces to make for cupcakes.

Cupcakes: Distant Love

I received a call on a weekend from a lady who wanted to send her love some cupcakes.   She is away from her love at the moment. I was already full for that weekend but she sounded so disappointed when i said no…

The design is based on their nickname for each other and on the cupcakes was the message for her love.

There was a bit of drama when I wanted to deliver the cupcakes. My husband had taken my car and his car key along with him. I was left with his car but no keys! Taxis sometimes refuse to come up to my place which is quite secluded. Fortunately, I managed to get one. The drive to deliver the cupcakes was quite long. Fortunately, the taxi driver was quite chatty. We had a nice chat all the way and got the cupcakes delivered safely.

Puppy for Jessica

My friend from BNI, Ken, wanted a special cake for his daughter’s 9th birthday. I remember from a chat I had with Jessica a few months ago that she wanted a puppy.  Her parents don’t think she’s quite ready for a real pet, so she got one with her cake instead.

Aquarium

What cake to make for someone who is into keeping fish? O who lives in the US contacted me for a special cake for her brother’s 50th birthday. He likes to keep fish and also loves rugby.

Philip is also diabetic.  I used to make diabetic cakes but I’ve stopped.  The cakes I make have to pass my own taste test.  If the recipe doesn’t taste good to me, it won’t be used.  So O and I came to a compromise.  Swiss Chocolate cake which uses vegetable oil instead of butter and minimal icing.

Take all that into consideration, how about an aquarium?!

Pebbles on the aquarium bed is made with various types of cereals.
