Anthurium with Gingko Leaves

I was very fortunate to attend Alan Dunn's workshops. He is a world leading sugarcrafter in making flowers, his flowers are so lifelike and delicate looking. He is such a wonderful guy in real life, very humble, patient and of course very talented in his skill. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and I will be going for more of his workshops in the future. Because Alan has written so many books on sugarflowers, I am not sure which book the Anthurium is in. Here are some of Alan's books, have a click on them to view the contents of each book.

Lemon Curd Cheesecake

The base is made with crushed ginger biscuits, the top is lemon curd, which is homemade with real lemon juice and zest. No artificial but if you don't want to make the curd yourself or you are pressing for time, store bought lemon curd is always and easily available. It is worth to get the good quality one tho.

Handmade Soap for the Skin

These soaps are so good, full of Olive oil, infact about 90% of Olive oil. Luxury for the skin.How wonderful.

Quiche

I can never get enough of quiche, and these one are made with gruyere cheese, it tasted so much better.

Easter Eggs Cupcakes

Made the easter egg cupcakes for the children and the neighbour. It was chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting coloured in green and yellow colour, top with chocolate easter eggs. The flowers are handmade

Death by Chocolate

Ribbon, heart, leaf and rose are made from white chocolate

The cupcakes were a choclately going away present made for a friend.  There's a rocky road, chocolate glaze and chocolate fondant.  I took the opportunity to road test a couple of recipes I hadn't tried beore.  Think the results are pretty good, though practice makes perfect.

Creamy Peanut Buttercream Cupcakes

Compose

I have been wanting to try making peanut buttercream cupcakes. Peanut butter is definitely one of my favourite and this frosting is to die for, it was smooth and creamy. Made in Heaven.
