Baby Shower

Kebaya cake

What do you give to a soft spoken lady who loves fashionable items in particular the tradisional malay kebaya for her birthday? ........ a pink Kebaya cake of course :).

Mini Cooper anyone?

I had never done a 3D car cake before and when I was commissioned to do one, I was both excited and scared...scared that the cake would not resemble a mini cooper. To do a 3D cake that needs to be carved, I had to change my normal buttercake recipe to something that would result in a heavy and denser cake. This way, the cake would not crumble when its put under the knife :).

Armed with a sharp serrated knife and pictures of a mini cooper in different angle, I started my mission. Let me tell you, it was hard work trying to make sure the bumps were at the correct places and harder still to ensure that all the finer details such as the handles were properly molded.

I was quite worried at first after I carved the cake as I could not see the resemblance but after the fondant was placed on the cake together with the other details, the cake came to life bit by bit. It was such a joy when I finished decorating it ..... 6 hours later!. And I was all smile when my son exclaimed, "Mr Bean's car". Mission accomplished :).

Under the Sea / Mermaid

A friend of mine requested me to bake a cake for her daughter's birthday. She had a barbie cake in mind but I told her that a Barbie cake was quite normal nowdays. Instead I suggested that she go for something different. She was open to suggestion and I suggested why not do an under the sea theme with a mermaid topper and other sea creatures adorning the cake. She agreed and last Saturday night, I started decorating the cake for delivery on Sunday morning. At first I wanted to cut the cake into 4 and layered them on top of each other and have the mermaid swam around the cakes but then she called and said that she wanted a simple cake that was easy to cut. So I decided to just arrange the various fondant toppers on the cake and voila! this is the end result. Enjoy!

Castle Cake for Ayra

My daughter's birthday is in December but since its her last days in Kindergarden before stepping into the big world, she requested that her birthday be brought forward so that she could celebrate her birthday with her friends. When asked how should I design the cake, automatically she said, "I want a Princess Castle cake. And I want it to be beautiful".

I had baked two cakes earlier and wanted to start decorating the cake Sunday morning but since my in-laws were here, my plan got sidetracked. I only started decorating them in the afternoon.

I decided on pink and purple cake and everything was going smoothly until i kneaded my fondant. That was when the "problem" started. Due to the unfavourable weather - it was humid and raining, the fondant turned soft. I did added some icing sugar to it and finally managed to cover the cakes nicely. I was decorating the 2nd tier cake, humming songs to myself with the television blaring away when I noticed that the walls that was attached to the first tier cake started to slide away. To my dismay, the fondant had turned soft! Ugh! of all days, this had to be the day the fondant decided to have a mind of its own. I mended the cake as much as I could and kept them in an air-cond room, praying that the walls would not fall down in the morning. To my huge relief, the walls stayed hard.

When my daughter woke up, she was jumping up and down admiring the cake and smiling from ear to ear. Ah! Such joy to see her face light with happiness and amazement that the hard work and late night was well worth it. I only managed to get picture of the cake as I could not wait for her to cut the cake at her school. When she came back she was still smiling telling me her friends all admired the cake and there was no leftovers.

My son's birthday is in December and he has already given me a list of the designs that he wants. :)

This is the cake, a Princess Castle for Princess Ayra's 6th birthday.
