We were asked to make a cupcake wedding cake in a birdcage.

This was really challenging as the bride wanted something more abstract.

There were 2 flavours,
Chocolate + grapefruit icing
Red velvet + chocolate icing

Cupcakes, chocolate with grapefruit icing and red velvet with chocolate icing

I think it turned out pretty good.

Another one of my all time favorite desserts would be carrot cake with a creamy smooth cream cheese icing.

We had the honor of consulting for a new restaurant (opened on the 13th of November) Krish down at 9 Rochester park.
It offers modern, exciting, Indian inspired cuisine. The setting is beautiful, perfect for weddings and events as well.

Carrot cake was one of the 7 desserts we proposed. the others included, cheesecake, pampelmousse cream cheese icing, tumeric bon bon, crème fraiche sorbet.

However, this didn’t make it to the menu.
Nonetheless, we will continue striving to create the most perfect carrot cake. Moist, flavorful and a little fluffy.

Tiramisu Tablets

Tiramisu has always been my favorite dessert, something close to my heart.
Probably its what even got me to become a pastry chef.
My mum had this awesome recipe when we were living in Japan and since then she makes a smashing good Tiramisu once a month. Although thinking back, she has stopped making tiramisu since 2am opened!

I still crave for it.

My chefs do like to tease about my habit of blending everything I can think of.
This petit 4 was meant for the Degustation menu
Theme: nostalgia. Currently served at 2am: dessertbar.
6 courses & 10 courses of delicate sweets.
6 courses – $48. $73 for 2 to share
10 courses – $68. $98 for 2 to share

However, we took it off the degustation as we decided to run a maximum of 10 courses instead of 12.
