I am simply ecstatic when someone writes to me to ask if I can do this or that… which is the case with this particular project where the question was: “Do I make 1 pound cakes?”. Truthfully, I answered that I don’t quite know what those are (hehe) because I never really sell cakes by their weight. It’s something that I possibly could look into in the future, but I think it’s safe to say that 1 pound cakes are close to 6″ diameter wide cakes.. and they are really really cute!
Well, perhaps not as cute as 3″ cakes 
But here you are: my take on a simple cake for a girl and a boy. Thank you A, for the inspiration and the order!
Girly Theme, with Vanilla Victoria Sponge Cake and Hazelnut Buttercream
Football Theme, with Rich Dark Chocolate Cake, Ganache filling and Valrhona Perles
Just in case you are curious, those are not pins for a corkboard ;p they’re cocktail picks, here used to pin down the satin ribbons. If anyone is interested, I am offering an Introductory Price for both cake designs, for a limited time only. The Girly theme cake, for 6″, is $30 (based on Vanilla Victoria & Hazelnut Buttercream), and the Football cake is $35 (based on the Chocolate & Ganache/Perles). They’re both rather yummy if I say so myself ^_^ Prices will change according to the cake inside., and they will change after the promotional period (up till July 31st).
I wonder how this one would look in baby blue?
The football cake is actually quite apt for the upcoming Father’s Day on 21st June!

Ok Ka Lim. Here is the link to the cupcake menu (available on the sidebar at the top of this website): http://www.delisioucity.com/cupcake-menu/
Hi Amal, Valrhona I “import” from Singapore hehe. Try Shermay’s Cooking School at Holland Village. Or, you may google for kitchencapers online store and write to Gina (who will send u the items – she might have Valrhona cocoa powder and buttons) and you pay her via Western Union.
Hope that helps! we should have a bake off or something. Im starting to smell like cake all the time though “_”

oh no laaa i mean we bake together2 hehe. And yea it’s difficult sometimes to juggle as you say.. so have to get orders in early so I can schedule them.. mostly at nights & weekends I do the fondants
Not superwoman la.. just ‘bekarih’ and slightly obsessive-pedantic. hehe

Hi Ruzanna. The cakes are 6 inches across (diameter), placed on 7 inch boards. I’d say that’s a pretty good size for 5 people to eat (unless it’s cut into smaller pieces.. so can feed more mouths hehe).
Thanks for visiting ^_^
