This really is the season for Transformers cake as I keep getting orders for Transformers design cake. This week, I had fun baking and decorating another Transformers cake. The little boy requested for a Bumblebee cake and for this cake, I had used edible image of Bumblebee for the picture. Its a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache topping and for the ganache, I used Callebaut chocolate which was naturally very delicious. :). The cake itself was quite heavy, an almost 2kg cake.

Salam Salwa, Attended to Lapis Sarawak class last week, wonderful , very generous of you. Thanks for the teaching, though it was a bit confusing initially, but with the extra pieces of 'inti' you gave out for practise, I went home and tried it with my daughter. I got it right. I did another 'inti' yesterday and hope I can continue with the lapis atas & bawah today. I will bring the cake to Malaysia for Hari Raya Haji. Wonderful! Thanks & Rgds SitiDahlia(attended Lapis Sarawak, cupcakes, ice-cream classes)

Hi SalwahYes, the class is interactive & I like the Hands-On SessionFarida Yasin(attended Lapis Sarawak & Swiss Roll Classes)

Hi Salwah, your class interacts well and I’m glad you always have the hands-on part, at least we can try on the spot and hear your comments.Anyway I’ve enjoyed my lessons & gain some experience.Masni Mohd

I enjoyed the lapis sarawak class last week and after clarifying with you I find the recipe is easy to understand and flexible. I like the hands-on session as we can try to do it on the spot . The texture of the cake is moist. I let my family tried it and they like it very much.Hamidah

I attended yr Kek lapis sarawak last month, the recipe was simple and easy tounderstand. After attending yr class, I went back and open-up my lapis sarawak book which I bought few months back...... now I understand how to do the lapis.....Without hand-on its quite difficult to understand for beginners like me.
Thank you for patience in teaching me.Kak Intan

3D Mosque Cake

Can you do a Mosque cake? was the question by my customer. I had never done it before and I was excited to be given this opportunity, The mosque cake was to be a hantaran cake and therefore, I had to consider the size to ensure that it fits in the hantaran tray or box, For the cake, I chose to do the mosque in brown/bronze theme colour which was the theme colour for the wedding.

I baked 2 butter cakes in 2 sizes: 10" for the base and 6" half round cake for the dome. The cakes were covered with fondant and sprayed in edible bronze for the dome and pillar. The doors were cut-outs fondants. It was really challenging doing the cake since the weather was not kind to me. It was quite hot and humid and the fondants decorations kept falling off. When it was done, I kept the cake in air conditioned room and thankfully, the decorations stayed glued to the cake.

Here's the pictures of my first 3D Mosque cake for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
