**A Christmas Full of Sweet Delights**

Christmas Day was truly a festive whirlwind, and now it’s time to share a glimpse of the treats and desserts that made their way out the door!

I was blessed with a variety of orders that brought so much joy and color to the season. From **Bento cakes** and **cheesecakes** to an array of festive treats and desserts, each item was thoughtfully crafted to add a touch of Christmas magic to your celebrations. The red and green theme took center stage, creating a cheerful holiday vibe—though I must admit, I might need a little break from those colors for now!

Thank you to everyone who trusted me to bring sweetness to your holiday tables. I hope you enjoy browsing through the photos of our creations—it’s a small peek into the love and care that went into making this Christmas extra special.

Here’s to ending 2024 on a sweet note and stepping into 2025 inspired and ready for more delicious moments!

Wrapping Up 2024 with Sweet Success

As the holiday season winds down and many are still enjoying well-deserved breaks, I’ve been reflecting on the blessings of this past year—especially the flurry of activity leading up to Christmas.

At one point, I wasn’t sure if Christmas orders would come through, but in the final stretch, I was overwhelmed with a wave of support from my loyal customers. The last few days before Christmas were a whirlwind of baking, decorating, and packaging, with three sleepless nights dedicated to creating delicious desserts that brought joy to festive tables.

Let’s kick off the recap with my **revamped Chocolate Lamingtons**—bigger, better, and more indulgent than ever! These beauties are coated in a new, rich chocolate dip that’s absolutely divine, topped with caramel and crème for an elegant finish. They were a standout favorite, and I couldn’t be happier with the feedback from those who enjoyed them.

Stay tuned for more highlights of the treats and desserts that went out for delivery thi⁷s season. Thank you for your continued support—it’s customers like you who make all the hard work worthwhile.

Here’s to a sweet end to 2024!

Survived Christmas? Let’s Celebrate!

I hope everyone made it through the Christmas chaos and is now enjoying some well-deserved downtime!

Back in November, I ran a fun spot prize competition in my WhatsApp group. The winner was chosen randomly based on their social media activity around Kitchen Something. My trusty helper (aka my son) drew the name, and the lucky winner was none other than Marice Queck! Her prize? One of my famous Brownie Boxes – because who doesn’t love chocolate, especially when it’s my chocolate?

On Christmas Day, I handed over her prize, and I’m thrilled to report she absolutely loved it! In fact, she even shared some with her family... which, let’s be honest, I definitely wouldn’t have done. Sharing chocolate? That’s next-level generosity!

Congratulations again, Marice! Your enthusiasm for Kitchen Something earned you some sweet rewards. To everyone else – keep an eye out! You never know when the next surprise giveaway might pop up. Dont forget to join my WhatsApp Group. Let’s keep the love (and chocolate) flowing!

💬 What would you do if you won a Brownie Box – share or keep it all to yourself? Let me know!

🎄Merry Christmas from Our Family to Your!🎄

As Christmas Eve unfolds and the busyness of the season continues, it’s time to pause and share a heartfelt message with you all.

Take time to cherish the smiles, laughter, and blessings around you. Let your hearts be merry, your homes be filled with joy, and your moments be truly special.

From my family to yours, we wish you a blessed Christmas filled with warmth, love, and happiness. Stay safe, stay joyful, and make this season one to remember!

Morning Everyone,

As the year draws to a close, I’m thrilled to share a personal milestone that has been years in the making. At the start of 2024, I set a goal: to end the year with a product that either pushed me out of my comfort zone or revisited something I hadn’t done in ages.

Little did I know, that goal would lead me back to wedding cakes—a journey I began back in 2019 when I made my very first one. Since then, my best friend has been cheering me on, encouraging me to explore wedding cakes more often. But, like many of us, I struggled with confidence. Self-doubt kept holding me back.

This year, I received a wedding cake request that later got canceled. It stung a bit, but instead of giving up, I decided to take a leap of faith. I even organized a wedding cake competition. Unfortunately, it didn’t pan out as planned, and I was left questioning if wedding cakes were really meant for me.

Fast forward to last week, when I had just decided to wrap up orders for the year. Out of the blue, my husband sent me a picture of a wedding cake and asked, "How much would you charge for this?" I quoted a price, thinking nothing of it. Two days later, the bride-to-be contacted me—and just like that, I was booked for a wedding cake!

Yesterday, I had the honor of delivering this simple yet elegant wedding cake for Mr. & Mrs. Charles. Despite battling strong winds during delivery, everything turned out beautifully. I poured my heart into every detail, and seeing their joy made it all worthwhile.

To Mr. & Mrs. Charles, thank you for trusting me to be part of your special day. I wish you a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and abundance.

This experience has reignited my passion for wedding cakes, and I can’t wait to take on more orders. So, to anyone planning a wedding, I’m ready to make your dream cake a reality!

Warm regards,
Kitchen Something

More Love for the Black & Red Matric Ball Beauty!

Yesterday, I shared a reel of the elegant black and red matric ball cake I made this past weekend. Today, I’m sharing not just a still shot of the cake but also the heartwarming feedback from the lady who ordered it—and trust me, this is the kind of feedback that makes my heart sing!

Here’s the story: one of my regular customers reached out on behalf of a family member to book this cake. After it was ordered, paid for, and delivered, I received the sweetest messages from both the family member and my regular customer, thanking me for the effort and detail.

Moments like these remind me why I love what I do—it’s about more than just the cake; it’s about being part of special memories and celebrations. To everyone who takes the time to share their feedback, thank you for spreading so much joy!

Stay tuned for more bakes, and don’t forget to share your thoughts—I love hearing from you all!

Early Morning Cupcake Delivery!

This morning at 6:30 AM, these beauties were delivered for an end-of-year Teacher’s Function. The theme was Red and White, and here’s what I created to match:

Chocolate Cupcakes: Rich and decadent, topped with creamy vanilla buttercream icing.

Presentation: Each cupcake was perfectly set in red cases to complement the theme, as per the customer’s request. But I add a little white pearl sprinkles to make them elegant, too.

It’s always exciting to bring someone’s vision to life, and I hope these cupcakes added a sweet touch to their celebration!

Now, it’s full steam ahead with the next round of orders before diving into all things Christmas.

A Reminder:

It’s always an honor to be trusted with orders like these, and I hope these cupcakes added a sweet touch to the company’s event.

Mommy Duty: Class Party Edition

Last week was all about mommy mode for my son’s class party, and I knew exactly what to bake! A while back, the kids raved about the cupcakes I made, so I thought, why not bring them back?

The Menu:

Vanilla Cupcakes topped with creamy vanilla frosting and, of course, loads of colorful sprinkles—because let’s be real, kids LOVE sprinkles!

Old-School Vanilla Slab Cake, dressed up with vanilla icing and—you guessed it—more sprinkles! I cut the cake into bite-sized cubes so it was easy (and fun) for the little ones to grab and enjoy.

But the best part? Walking into the classroom with the bakes and hearing the kids scream with excitement! Their little faces lit up like it was Christmas morning. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love baking—it’s not just about the treats but the joy they bring.

Here’s to happy kids and sweet memories!

Life has been a whirlwind lately!

First off, I hope everyone is doing well in the midst of all the chaos life throws our way. It’s been a busy time for me too, and I’ve been a bit quiet on here. But I had to share this exciting update with you all!

For my birthday, my amazing husband surprised me with something I’ve been dreaming of—a stand mixer! Of course, I couldn’t resist breaking it in right away, so I celebrated by baking myself a special birthday cake that very night.

Introducing: The Lemon Meringue Cake
This cake has been on my wishlist to perfect and add to my menu for ages, but it’s still a work in progress. Here’s what makes it special:

Lemon Cake Layers: Soft, moist, and packed with zesty lemon flavor.

Filling: A luscious lemon buttercream paired with homemade lemon curd for that perfect sweet-tart balance.

Topping: Fluffy marshmallow meringue, lightly torched for a golden, caramelized finish.

It’s a dreamy treat for lemon lovers—zesty, tart, and sweet all at once. While it’s not menu-ready just yet, I’m aiming to perfect it for a 2025 debut. Until then, I’ll be tweaking the recipe to ensure it’s just right!

Stay tuned for updates and let me know—are you a fan of all things lemon?

**Good Morning, Everyone!**

The weekend is here, and what better way to start it than with something sweet?

Bright and early this morning at 6:30 a.m., these delicious **éclairs** made their way to a happy customer. Each éclair is lovingly filled with a smooth caramel and fluffy cream, then dipped in rich, glossy chocolate for the perfect finish.

Now, here’s the fun part: How would you enjoy yours?

**Good Afternoon, everyone!**

I hope your Monday treated you well!

This weekend was all about butter chicken at Kitchen Something! We kicked off with a lunch order of our delicious butter chicken, then wrapped up the weekend with a family-size butter chicken curry paired with naan.

It’s always such an honor to cook for my loyal customers, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring these comforting, homemade meals to your tables.

Wishing you all a fantastic day and an awesome week ahead!

🌟 **Happy Friday, everyone!** 🌟

Before we head into the weekend, I wanted to share a little about this morning’s delivery that went out bright and early at 6:30 a.m.

One of my loyal, returning customers placed an order for butter chicken and naan, with a special request for an additional portion of rice. While she was very pleased with her meal overall, she let me know that the rice was a bit too salty. I’ll be sure to make it right in her next order!

I truly believe that any feedback—positive or constructive—is valuable to help me improve and continue providing the best service possible. I’m so grateful to have customers who feel comfortable sharing their thoughts with me. Your honest feedback is what helps my business grow, and I appreciate it more than I can say.

Thank you all for the continued support! Wishing you a safe and blessed weekend ahead.

✨ **Happy Monday, everyone!** ✨

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! As some of you saw from my client’s post on Saturday, I had the privilege of creating a Sweet 16 birthday cake for a very special milestone celebration.

The cake was a rich chocolate, frosted with a soft pink base and detailed piping in white and hot pink. My personal favorite touch? The “dramatic overthinker” design in bold hot pink—such a fun request!

This vintage-inspired style was a wonderful challenge, and while my piping skills are still a work in progress, seeing the birthday girl’s joy made every effort worth it.

I’m truly grateful to be part of these unforgettable moments, and I want to thank each of you for your continued support.

Whether it’s positive or constructive, I take every piece of feedback to heart. It guides me in my commitment to providing the best possible service to each and every one of you.

**Mid-Week Treat Alert!**

There’s something so exciting about preparing a mid-week order and knowing it’ll be enjoyed that same evening! One of my regular customers ordered this adorable Bento cake for a little mid-week celebration, which will be delivered tonight.

This charming cake is a rich chocolate cake with smooth vanilla frosting—a classic combination that’s always a hit. Bento cakes and Bento combos are quickly becoming a customer favorite. They’re perfect for those who want the full cake experience in a mini version, ideal for smaller gatherings or personal treats without any leftovers.

I have to say, I absolutely love the little bear design. Isn’t he just the cutest?

If you’d like more details or want to place your own Bento order, feel free to reach out!

**Weekend Baking Fun!**

This past weekend was my husband’s birthday, and it gave me the chance to try something completely new! He mentioned a cake he’d seen where it looks like a slice is cut out, but the slice actually isn’t missing. He didn’t save the picture, so I had to get creative and make it happen on my own!

I went for a rich chocolate cake layered with smooth chocolate mousse, luscious chocolate ganache, and topped with vanilla buttercream. Safe to say, it was a hit—and absolutely delicious!

Now, I leave it to you: do you think I nailed the illusion? Let me know in the comments!

For more details or to place an order, feel free to reach out.

Happy Tuesday!
