Few more days to Chinese New Year! In the beginning of this year, I started the fun to let my fans to bid these specially designed 12 Chinese Zodiac CNY cupcakes for charity. This is how it works. I am baking only 12 Chinese zodiac fondant cupcakes for year 2014. The starting price will be RM50. Every bid in the increment of RM5 to the latest price. Highest bidder will get this 12 exclusive cupcakes and the proceed will be donated to an orphanage - Kirtarsh Handicapped and Disabled Children's Home. The bid was open now until 10th Jan 2014 (5pm) and the highest bidder - Jayne is the highest bidder (RM150) for these 12 cupcakes.
It is always good to do something back to society, also not forgetting those less fortunate people, we should try to help whenever we can. Again, I am so delighted to accomplished my mission even though spent plenty of time to do all these 3D animal cupcakes toppers. Everything handmade by using marshmallow and fondant icing, all edible. I am quite satisfied with the outcome according to my sketch drawings - original design, well I called them my blueprint except tiger I guess, it turns out more tame just like cat. Overall, everybody loves them!
