Her Secret to a Great Bake

Blackvelvet Bakes uses fine quality, natural ingredients in place of artificial flavouring. The bake produce are  lower in fat & sugar. 

You can have your rosette cakes made to order, simply tell Pastry Chef Angie your preferred flavor. I love it she uses pastel colors for the rosette flower decoration on the cake she bakes a they give a natural hue. 

These are the selection of cupcake flavor by Pastry Chef Angie Lau. The cupcakes are of pastel color which clearly indicates there are no artificial colorings used in her recipe. One thing I like about her cupcakes is that they are moist, and she uses central filling of real fruit bits in her strawberry cupcake, plus the whipped cream is light smooth creamy & is not sweetness overload but sweet just right. Unlike cupcakes where the topping is made of marzipan, Pastry Chef Angie uses whipped cream as topping to add a smooth silky texture to the cupcake.
