Yummy birthday cake by Delectable by Su

Until last week, I had only tried cupcakes and the regular fare at Delectable by Su, and so I was pretty pleased when my Shu Uemura Birthday Party ended with a sweet bang.  The birthday cake was a rustic looking sandwich with oodles of cream, chocolate ganache and strawberries, rich and absolutely sinful. Su takes baking and decorating very seriously as can be seen from her prettily decorated cakes.

Thank you, Shu Uemura, for throwing me such an amazing birthday party.   I am in love with the Autumn/Winter 2010 makeup palette filled with all my favourite colours (purple being one of them), now in my makeup pouch together with my Shu Uemura makeup brushes which I bought last year and can’t do without.  Seriously, those brushes are so soft and impart colour on the face so well that I can’t imagine how I survived without them.  And the lashes!  Such a pain to put them on, but they’re lovely.   I have several sets of Shu Uemura lashes which I stare at regularly but rarely put on because I’m useless (yes, I’m better at catching peanuts with chopsticks than applying fake eyelashes), so I’m glad we had a chance to learn how to put them on.   The final collage shows me and my friends with our falseys on, while the earlier collages show the torture tools employed.

And after all that, we supped at Poco Homemade with simple bowls of noodles and rice.

Boys weren’t allowed at my Shu Uemura party.   But they crashed it anyway.

  7. Sean: Thanks for the wishes! You cheated. Pbbbthhhhhh!

    lotsofcravings: Nice to be thanked in that way then. 😀

    J: It was, wasn’t it? And you looked gorgeous that day. Aiyah, you always do anyway lah. 🙂

    Jun: You’d never look like a street whore lah coz you have the face of an angel. 🙂 Thanks, Jun!

    unkaleong: They do, don’t they? Thanks for NOT planting a wet one on my lips. The boys are such drama queens, better not invite any. 😀

    A Lil Fat Monkey: Hahaha. Thankfully, got no “belated birthday” wishes on MY birthday cake. 😛 Oops…falseys! Will amend accordingly. What I know anyway. I’m useless. 😀 Yar, make them happy la, bff. Give em lashes. And boobs.

  8. Happy Birthday, dear (again)!! 😀

    And oh aye. Was it our fault we happened to choose the same day to visit Poco Homemade. To your BFF’s credit, he certainly did not let slip out your all-girl-party’s whereabouts.

    Call it Serendipity.

    Plus, thanks to that accidental “party-crashing”, you’all got new passport photos what. Methinks I got new career in this, can work for Immigration. 😛

  10. LFB: Yeah, you got a point. I like my new passport photo, but like JQ said, they may reject the pic coz we don’t look like our pictures! Puan, itu rambut mata (eyelash) sangat panjang, tolong cabutkan!

    FBB: I need Aisywara Rai’s huge-ass eyes too. I’ve never expected profound greetings from you, tangechi. Never.
