Hi littlevictoria,
I'm an Oct mummy and happen to read your post about cake from Cupcake Divinity (CCD). I ordered my son's cake from them for his 1st birthday celebration last Sat.
The 2-tier Winnie the Pooh themed cream cake's really beautiful and wow-ed the guests. Most guests commented that the cake's (top layer-vanilla, bottom layer-chocalate) nice and 'fragrant' but personally hubby and I prefer the taste of the cakes from PG.
The reason I ordered from CCD is because it's more hassle-free. I don't have to source for cake topper and etc to design the cake. PG charges around $120 for a 2-tier cake but not including cake topper which can easily cost $20 or more. So, I think CCD is reasonably priced.

moomummy, thanks for the link. i hv just just only managed to secure a last set of micky/minnie figurines with babyterror online! phew... after much sourcing and hassle, finally got it.

littlevictoria,
Welcome!
According to CCD's guidelines, 2 tier (6" + 10") is about 3kg for estimated serving portion of 45-50 pax. I've got around 70pax and I still have about 2 palm size of left over. I didn't dare to cut too big a piece initially as I'm afraid that there won't be enough but who knows I was too stingy and end up with leftover! But I'm not really complaining as I get to eat it for breakfast and tea the next 2 following days!

i'm so very envious of u mummies who managed to book with cupcake divinity!!
ah lian, good to hear tat yr friend is happy with my recommendation.
maids: married or unmarried oso depends lor. cos like us we want the maids to help take care of our kids so naturally for me, i tink married one with kids better cos i tot maid will be better at looking after kids if she herself has kids. then if unmarried ones, could mean she may not hv commitment to the job cos she probably no need to earn to provide for the family... pros and cons bah.

littlevictoria,
$150 for a 2-tier cake is berry good price wor. I'd go for it. Somemore from Cupcake Divinity. Sure mei-mei one. heheheh...
alibaba,
Haiz.. all maids like to compare lah. For me most of my maids are those ex-SG or trfs maids and are experienced type. But they still agree to my 'penalty' clause. So far when I make them 'pay' for their early termination, they will do so lor. No issues so far. Hah!
happywifey,
I dun care what MOM says lor. Most of the time these maids won't complain cos they ownself break the contract early wor. Plus I'm too fed-up with all their patterns. If my government dun look after me, I'll look after myself. hahahahah...
eLcH & Jo,
Nice nice cakes you have there. I can't wait to see my cake leh...
Jess,
You ordered your cake already? I juz placed order with delectable delites for a 2-tier cake. Hope their cake taste as good as it looks.

I din dare to order from PG after hearing all the stories. I scared they 'cock-up' my order... cos it's not a simple 1st birthday cake. It's a combined birthday cake for 4-persons lor. heheheh..
Luckily I managed to find Delectable Delites. So thankful she willing to take in my order.
What type of cake you ordering? Going for 2-tier or single tier?

So far she's quoting me about $150 for a 2-tier fondant cake. But this price varies according to the design chosen. I find all her designs very nice too. Very creative and beautiful. heheheh...

Dymples, i was skeptical abt PG too, heard of both good and bad reviews, but again cos i didn't wan to spend too much time on sourcing as i think i'm already quite late, tats y lor. but nxt yr i shall endeavour to book from cupcake divinity, hehe. i ordered a 2-tier cake cos all the pics PG sent to me all 2-tier only leh.
how u get to know Delectable Delites? hope your combined 4-pax cake will turn out pretty pretty

i also ordered mine from PG liao.. wanted pooh bear but aft being told pooh bear figurine hav to get ourselves i immediately look at other choices (being a super lazy mum).. shortlisted baby sesame and hello kitty (personally preferred sesame cos i dun really like hello kitty) and gey kiang ask my hubby which one he choose.. and he said hello kitty!!! piang.. so in e end i've to go with that cat lor.. kakaka..
I agree CCD is prettier.. while i was at PG another mum came and collect her pooh bear 2 tier which i initially wanted.. I asked her if i could take a look at it and turn out i find it kind of plain looking.. colours a tad too light.. CCD more colourful and lively.. But yes at least i know e taste of PG cake is good.. Chose lychee martini for top layer and triple choc for bottom

wow, the CCD cakes look so nice! didnt realise fresh cream cost so much less than fondant cakes.. feel so guilty spending so much on my fondant cake now! littlevictoria, if u really want, better quick chope your date with CCD first!
gal dolphin,
my maid has been with me for abt 10 mths now. is yr maid new i.e. no prior working experience and never been away from home before? they tend to take longer to adjust being away from home. my also kept saying she wanted to go home, cannot sleep at nite, heart keeps beating very fast etc etc.. but after awhile she was ok liao. so u hang in there and monitor her for abit. but if she is not really good with your baby, then if i were u, i may consider switching maid, cos to me, my baby is priority, not the housework etc.

Maid: cannot treat them too well. today i interview 2 transfer maids. i ask them what the reason the employer don want them?
1st: laughing... hehe.. sir says i use too much water.. hehe..
ME (thinking): not funny at all..
ME: how many times sir tell u not to waste water?
1st: hehe.. many times mom.. hehe..
(cannot make it)
2nd: I don like ah ma.. she keeps on nagging at me.. ask me to sleep at 12mn and wake up at 5am.
ME: oh.. my house also got one ah ma..
2nd: Ah ma very strange.. she don like to use blender to blend the spice.. ask me to pound pound the spice.. very hot, i don like..
ME: ah... i see
(confirm cannot make it)
Anyway, i found a maid (NEW) no experience.. experience in her hometown, take care of old pp. ever took care of small babies. 27 years old. widowed.. one daughter 8 years old. hopefully ok.
Cake: I got mine also from CCD. this comin sat am celebrating brandon's birthday!

If I only realize I ordered a girlish cake after I open the cake box in front of all my guests ... I need to find a hole and hide liaoz!
re photoshoot
One relative gave us stack of makeover photoshoot invitation card during Lucas full mth (its Naughty by Nature Image Consultant co) - free makeover and two free photos. And intend to use it for my son's 1 year old. Never do I check this co out till now and realise this image consultant co has alot of bad reviews and had court case with CASE cos of their inappropriate hardcore marketing strategy. I found out abt it this morning after two days failed attempt to contact them at their hotline. Now I need to source for affordable photoshoot package for Lucas. Any recommendations?
