Listen to a Review I've once asked Joe for his honest opinion about the cake. Listen at

We didn’t really plan for a birthday dinner for our son, but on the day itself, we decided to ask him where he wanted to go. Surprisingly, he chose Grand Shanghai.. ‘cos he really enjoys the live music! And if you’ve been there, you know that, the kind of music they are playing is totally not a 4 year old would listen to…. Its Theresa Teng’s kind of music!!
I was not prepared for a second cake, so I had to whip out another cake with decoration in 2 hours.. I was in sprint mode.. weighing, mixing and oven were done in less than 25 minutes. While the cake was in the oven, I made the cake toppers from fondant. Guess what??!! A Kapibara family… I made a mama, papa and baby Kapibara as toppers..
they turned out really cute!!..
 
It was our son’s 4th birthday last week and months before, he had asked for a 3D Kapibara cake. So, who is Kapibara? It’s one of our son’s favorite stuffed toys.
The cake was made with 1.5 x 8 inch carved Devil Chocolate cake, iced with vanilla butter cream. I also baked several cupcakes made from DCC batter, filled with dark chocolate ganache and topped with butter cream (yummm…).
Our son was totally thrilled with his birthday cake and his classmates t00! Some even asked for second helping .. that includes the teachers!!
we recently had an order for a birthday cake, we had no idea who it’s really for until we delivered. It was such an awesome experience, just a little shame the birthday girl wasn’t home when we delivered. Hope she enjoyed the cake 
interestingly, we are starting to see some orders come in where people order cakes as gifts to others. It’s a great idea which I thought I’ll share. Since we do delivery of the cakes, it’s easy for you to just fill up the form, make the payment and we’ll do the rest.
The most interesting one we just had was an anonymous order. The person placed an order at the website, didn’t leave any name or contact information, except a delivery address, and made payment. Though it’s a great way to keep anonymous, and maybe surprise someone with a great gift, I would encourage everyone to leave their contacts. If the delivery needs to be kept anonymous, we can help to keep it that way.
The most important thing is that there are times when we are not able to fulfill the orders and need to make alternative arrangements. Without a contact information, it just becomes impossible, and we would not like to miss a delivery.
So, if there’s that special occasion coming up, or just that special someone you want to surprise, do consider our services. We would do our very best to accommodate as much as possible. Regrettably, as we have our day jobs, it will be very difficult to do any deliveries outside the usual delivery time window.
We’ve received feedback that the Devil Chocolate Cake without alcohol is too bitter. As such, I thought it may be good that I share the feedback with everyone.
For this person, the first sample he had was actually a double Rum Devil Chocolate Cake (DCC). Then he decided to order one without any alcohol. He found the latter to be more bitter.
The fact is that the DCC is made with dark chocolate, with high cocoa content. So, you should like bitter chocolate to be happy with the no alcohol version. One of our regulars tells us that having the alcohol in the cake helps to make it appear less bitter.
So, the summary is this….
- if you need the cake to have no alcohol, you’ve got to love chocolates, dark chocolates
- if you’d like some alcohol, double Rum is the hot favorite
- if you are a Baileys person, that’s a good option too
 Decorated - Devil Chocolate Cake One of our special work last year was for our son’s 3rd birthday. Winny made this special Lightning McQueen lookalike decoration for Jovan’s birthday party in school.
 The cake from another angle All the decorations were made out of fondant, which is edible, albeit sweet.
Check out the layer of “grass”, flowers and pine tree accessories.
Did you also notice the 2 road cones in front of the car?
And yes, the words are all made of fondant too.
The boys loved the car, and the girls loved the chocolate. The birthday boy enjoyed his car and the chocolate cake.
 the very first appearance of Hunny Bunch n Co. was at one of our friends’. We received a request of making some cupcakes for wedding favors. We took the challenge and delivered 150 cupcakes in vanilla, chocolate and cream cheese flavors. They were very well received.
Now and then we hear some talk about cupcakes, and so I thought to put it up here. It’s not our main stream product, but if you’re interested to have your very own Hunny Bunch n Co. cupcakes for your party, do contact us.
What’s in the picture on the left is a cream cheese cupcake with butter cream on top. The Tiffany blue color theme was requested for, and the 2 hearts on top are made of fondant.
we had some requests recently to put some decorations on the Devil Chocolate Cake. Here are 2 we’ve done, which we classify as simple decoration.
Theme : Bees
Theme : Flowers
We are happy to announce that the Mandarin Marble Cake is now available for order. The price list has been updated and the order form put up for the MMC. As usual, we’ll bake the MMC on demand to ensure freshness and it’s priced at S$32 and includes free delivery.
At the same time, we are making a few changes and extending the lead time to order cakes
- the 8″ square for the Devil Chocolate Cake has been taken out, the 6″ round, 8″ round and 8″ heart remains
- we are keeping the 8″ square only for the Mandarin Marble Cake
- to keep up with demand and to avoid any disappointment, we’d like to request all orders to be placed at least 2 days (48hrs) in advance. This helps us in the planning. Nevertheless, we’ll try our very best to slot in requests less than 48hrs.

Thanks to all of your support out there =)
The Mandarin Marble Cake first made it’s debut in the Shareen and Joe Show, and it is now available for ordering. This is a perfect cake for those afternoon tea time, or any sort of a simple gathering you are having with family and friends.
The cake is simple, but kept elegant with the superior ingredients we use. To describe it, it looks a little like a marble cake, but when you eat it, it tastes familiar like the Indonesian Kueh Lapis. This cake is actually made from our secret Indonesian family recipe, loved by family and friends.
There’s no icing, cream or fudge on the cake, and we’ve kept it simple and true to the taste of richness. For it’s simplicity, we do not recommend it as the primary cake in grand occasions, such as birthdays.
