Chinese 長衫 Onesie Cookies

3/29/2018

The Chinese tradition of celebrating a new baby's 100th day!

In the past, it was a gathering to celebrate a baby's survival of 100 days. Healthy and strong enough to leave the house, it was also the time for extended family and friends to meet the baby.

Nowadays, it's also a day to celebrate the parents' themselves, for surviving the first 100 days of a new baby! Additionally, it has become somewhat synonymous with the Red Egg and Ginger celebration, traditionally held a month after the birth of a baby. Hard boiled eggs were dyed red for luck, and to symbolize fertility and a new beginning. Ginger represents the gold, but more importantly, it is used in elixir's and medicines to help the mother recover from childbirth. It helps get rid of the "wind" element in the CHI of her body after giving birth.

However it is celebrated, it is a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate a new life, a new member of the community.

Terraria 8th Birthday Cake

3/10/2018

I received a request for a Terraria cake - I thought, "terra-whaaaa?" Turns out, it's a video game! It's styled 2D, like old school Mario. Boy do I feel old... partly because Mario has come such a long way, and partly because I had never heard of Terraria! So I had to do a little research and this is what I came up with - with the help of Google, social media outlets, and a reference photo from the client of course!

In addition, they asked for eyeball cake pops. This I could do with no need for research, but the research did help me decide the final look of these cake pops. Check out the giant eyeball cake pop as a cake topper that's four times the size of a regular cake pop! ​I had to use two pop sticks to make sure it had enough support.

​HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
