Bows and Ribbons

This lovely cake was made for the beloved mother-in-law of my client. Originally she wanted the images to be made for cupcakes but at the last minute, she changed her mind and wanted that I bake a cake instead. Since the images have been printed, I had to redesigned the cake to ensure that I can fit the few small pictures of the family onto the cake. After much pondering, I decided to do a fondant cake with bows and ribbons and the pictures pasted on top of the cake. This was how the cake turned out. Enjoy!

Chocolate Transfer Sheet

I went shopping for my baking supplies last Saturday and one of the item that I picked up apart from more Americolor brand colours and Satin Ice fondants was Transfer Sheet. I had never used a transfer sheet before and opportunity arose when I baked a chocolate cake for office raya celebration. I was quite happy with the result and since I now know what I should and should'nt do, I will be using this for more cake decorations when opportunity arises.

Police uniform

I was recently asked whether I could decorate a Malaysian police uniform cake for a retired policeman. I had never done a shirt cake before but I have seen them around. So what I did was I applied the same principle for this uniform cake.

For this cake, I used Satin Ice rolled fondant and colors from Americolor that i just bought last week. I was really happy with how the fondant and the colours turned out. Will definitely use satin ice and americolor again.

Anyway, below is the picture of the cake.

Another Upin&Ipin

Another Upin&Ipin edible image cake for my colleague's son. Its our best selling chocolate cake, covered with blue/green buttercream decoration. This cake is 11/2 recipe which weights around 2kg.

Another Ben10 cake

On Wednesday evening, I received a query asking whether I could bake a Ben10 Edible Image cake urgently for Friday. Usually edible image needs at least 3 days advance order since I need to edit the picture and get them printed. Luckily, God was smiling on me and I managed to get the edible image done within 1 day...phew!!! This got me thinking real hard. Since I do get quite a number of edible image cake orders, whether its a good investment to get the printer and accessories so that I can print the pictures on my own..if I do this, no more hassle of finding who can print the pictures for me and later picking them up :). I think I have to start searching for the printers etc...anybody out there can help me source it?

Anyway, Happy Birthday Shazril. Hope you like your Ben10 cake. :)

Manchester United

A birthday cake for a 10 year old boy who loves football especially Manchester United. The cake is shaped like a football field. I added the toy figurines of football players and goal post which I found at one of the baking supply shops. Since he loves Manchester United, I then placed an edible Man Utd logo in the middle of the field. The cake is chocolate moist cake and the grass is made from buttercream. Thank You Pn Rafidah for the order.

By the way, I love this quote that I found in the net posted by a hardcore fan of Man Utd -

"There are GOOD football teams and there are GREAT football teams. And then of course THERE IS Manchester United". :)

Hello Kitty Cake

For all Hello Kitty fans out there, here is a Hello Kitty cake baked for lovely 1 year old Aisya. This is butter cake with buttercream deco. The sides of the cakes were piped with four lovely colours: blue, green, orange and purple.

Twilight Saga continues...with NEW MOON

I am one of those who love to read a good book and the Twilight Saga is one of my favourite. The saga has been a worldwide sensation and the sequel, New Moon is coming to theaters soon. It will be out in the USA on 20 Nov and in Malaysia on 27 Nov.

For those who have not seen the trailer, check my sidebar where I have posted the trailer widget for all to see. Once the movie is here I will remove the widget. In the meantime enjoy the trailer...I have to say that the New Moon looks awesome than Twilight with all the CGIs etc....be sure to check the movies when it comes to our shore in November. Enjoy!
