About 2 years ago, when these adorable yellow creatures in blue jumpsuits hit the silver screen, kids and kids at heart alike went crazy over them and were hit by the "minions craze".

KC kupcakes' First Ever Set of 3D Minions-themed Handcrafted Fondant Toppers

It was actually an advantage on my end when the minions craze started to spread.

Since then, orders kept pouring as clients request for minions-themed cupcakes, back when I was still happily busy making custom cakes and cupcakes when I was still back home.

And now that a new movie has come out, the minions craze lives on!

And I'm sure that I'd be getting a lot of orders again if I were back home.

Aside from the feeling of accomplishment when I see my creations, I love seeing how my customers appreciate my work. Oh how I really miss baking! I wish I can still continue it here. Knowing that I'm able to bring happiness is the very reason why love and miss what I do back home!

Aside from orders for birthday parties, we also get orders for Christenings. Here's the first set of Christening cupcakes that we made. We thought of baby items as the main topper, then added on some fondant flowers and edible pearls. :)

Here are the other sets that we made for Baby Girl and Baby Boy Christening cupcakes.

Here's our first ever set of cupcakes with handcrafted fondant toppers. :D We got an order for cupcakes that would be given as gifts to a doctor so Gia and I thought of using fondant for the cupcake toppers. We searched over the net and came up with making these medical items out of fondant.

Working with fondant for the first time was both fun and challenging at the same time. It was challenging because Gia and I are both first timers. We were hesitant at first and wondered if we're doing it right, but we were glad that we pulled it off. And it turned out to be a lot more fun! It actually brought us back to our childhood memories when we used to make some stuff out of modeling clay.

Now this is the culprit of my absence in the blogosphere for the past weeks! :p

Yup, and for the first time I can say that it's not because I was just too lazy to blog, it's just that I was very busy with making cupcakes. :D
