Cupcake Bouquets


Flower piping is not a new skill, in fact, it exists earlier than the younger days of our parent generations. It used to be popular, and still commonly seen on cakes in lots of bakeries in our neighbour countries.

In Singapore, most of the bakeries will not decorate their cakes with piped icing flowers. Perhaps it looks old fashioned to many others, perhaps it requires more skilled labours that's why it is abandoned.

Several years back when I first started to decorate cakes, I just found out that piped icing flowers could be so contemporary and in. It made a big hit in cities of US and people just facsinated with it.

The vibrant colours on piped flowers assembles a picture of flower bouquet that looks alike oil painting by impressionist artist. I was so impressed and never give up the idea of acquiring the skill of flower piping for my cakes. When I finally introduce a new series of cakes and looking for new medium to decorate, I decided to do some oil paintings on my cakes too. Hope the beauty of flower piping gives your heart a melting moment and your face a cheerful smile!
