Female Piggy

Father's day is coming soon and I have been bombarded with question if I have any promotion. Well, my mind is still occupied with wedding cakes..I will not take too many order next month. I need to rest. But I will sure make one cake for my dad, his birthday falls on father's day itself..lucky me. Since he likes this so much. I will sure make a new version of this. I made this one for Florence mother sometime in April. Florence called me all the way from Singapore and wanted to order a piggy cake for her mum. So I think this look like a female piggy. How do a make one look like? Just wait and see..

Full Of Goodies

I almost forgot to post this cake. I think Thomas cake is most baker's nightmare.No easy to make the cake oh.. I have bought one 3D choo choo train and will try to make a 3D cake of Thomas this August..yea somebody all the way from Singapore already place her ( every year ) order. You can see more the Thomas cake here.All are edibles here except or the train and the sea water plant.The Thomas train is a real toy, I dare not make one yet ( trying to play safe here )well, when I have more time on my side ( which I am not sure when lol) I 'll try to make the toy yea.

I can't see Dragon Ball..( smile)

Liza asked for Dragon Ball cake and as always I told mycustomer that I will try t(o do whatsoever being ask if I can). I didn't charge her for the customise decor as I am not sure if dragon ball look like this. It did't look very much like Dragon ball after all. May be next time just use figurine la..hehe

Fondant Covered Cheesecake

Have you seen cheesecake like this one?

I find it's hard to decorate cheesecake. So normally I told my customer that I can only do simple decoration with cheesecake until Viview ordered this cake for her mother. I came up with an idea to use fondant on top. This is oreo cheesecake so it look rather plain as I have put all the oreo in the cake. I have left two pieces of oreo to put on top of the cake but i have forgottern to use it.

Castle Cake

Girls do love fairy tales. I did or may be I still do. You can't really present your little girl with her prince charming yet, so the closest is a princess and a castle. Those who had presented a princess cake for their girls would like to have something else this year. So, do you mind if I'll make them a castle instead? This is fun. I always find it fun to make a new cake as the thrill to make something from scratch is enjoyable, as long as I have at least 5 hours to spare before I send the cake. I made this the night before I went to Labuan. Arranged for the castle to be delivered to Marina club and while on the Ferry to Labuan, I still worried if the castle arrived safely. Lucky it did and Alice loves her cake. It's for her daughters double birthday celebration.

This is a 4kg + Choc mud cake and price at RM250

Exploring Dora

I always wonder how people can make dresses, make bags, shoes etc etc which I can't do. Have you ever wonder how people decorate cakes? I did and still do until now. It's an art and not that easy I have to admit. There are many style of decoration. I happened to meet Nina who is very good at drawing on a cake and 'painting' the cake beautifully. I ordered her cake for my daughter 1 month to 1 year cake which we celebrated in KL early this year. To my surprised, she told me she loves my work and also my blog. It was funny as I too love her creativity. It is just obvious that we have different style of decorating. She told me she needs at least 2 hours to decorate her cake or her type of decoration. Mind you,two hours just for decorating and not preparing the icing, the colour, washing etc etc. Since I am in this line too, I understand that when I pay for her cake, it's not just the cake, it's for the artwork too.

So last sunday I did her type of decorating, half way. Tara told me her dd love Dora the explorer and asked if I can make a Dora cake. I told her I will try. I know I need to either buy a figurine, draw a Dora or make a Dora with fondant. I have 3 choices. I wanted to try drawing but since every week I have cake to decorate and by the time I finished I am alread tired, I could not find time to practise. What I did, made Dora with fondant,prepared the background and decorated the background with flowers and butterflies. Tara told me they like the butter cake and Kendra loves her Dora. She wanted another Dora cake .Well, next year I will sure make her a better Dora and this time together with the monkey. This reminded me of Nina text messages to me when I ordered her cake " You nak monkey or not? if nak Monkey, tambah RM10"...hahaha

For a son and a Dad

From a dad and a son....

Hello..

Before I forget, let's look at last week's cakes..I think I really need to set a day to upload pictures for this blogs otherwise it will look so dull. Julian really into challenging me to do more 3D cakes. (grin) His first order was a 1 year old cake for his son, Raelan who turned 1 year old on the 16th April 2009. He and his wife Morin wanted a Mickey Mouse theme but wanted to have pocoyo and Tigger on the cake too. I kind of understand as those are all TV characted and are his son's favourite characters. I wanted to do a big picture of Mickey Mouse but the face look quite fierce so after much thought I decided to use the smaller cutter of Mickey mouse and add two Pocoyo faces on it. Sorry Raelan, aunty didn't manage to make Tigger for you this time. While we were 'smsing' about the cake, Julian already told me his next and next cake order and he said he wanted a WWE cake for his dad. My mind went blank. I can imagine man with big muscle and I am clueless how to make them, the muscle I mean. I was hoping that I can get the figurines as making them will really consume lots of time and I am not ready to venture into it given the limited time that I have ( I have other cakes to decorate too) . Thank God, while I was out for lunch, I managed to get the figurines of John Cena and Triple H from one of a toy shop. I asked the girl if the figurines are real WWE wrestler or they are simply nobody, just a figurine who happened to have big muscles. She said, yes they are but only certain wrestlers are here she added " Yang kau pegang tu paling kuat dan famous juga" and she's refering to John Cena. She then asked me to change another one to Tripple H. I have taken Tripple H earlier but when I looked that he is having his shirt on, I put him back inside the window display otherwise I have taken both strong wrestler while having zero knowledge about WWE. When I have more time ( and I am not sure when will this be...hehe) I am sure will take time to do the figurine of WWE star. Who should I start? Give me the easiest face to shape..

Father's day is around the corner. Thinking about giving this cake to your dad? Just make sure you tell me who is his favourite WWE star ok..

Hello Kitty Cake

I have loads of picture of cakes that I have not uploaded here so I think I better start putting them up here showing that I am still busy creating your centre piece for your party ( grin). This Hello Kitty Cake was just delivered yesterday. I have corrected the wording from H.B 2nd Adreanna to Happy 2nd birthday Adreanna before packing it.
Hope Adreanna likes the Hello Kitty cake created just for her. Vivien also ordered some cookies to compliment the cakes. My daughter loves Bird very much ( she called everything with wings, be it goose, duck, penguin etc etc birds). She slept very early and I only managed to show her the cookies when she woke up at 4 am in the morning asking for food. ( She slept early and didn't manage to take her dinner) I gave her some rice and later showed her the cookies. She was so excited looking at it at keep on saying 'momom bird' ( eat bird). She ate her cookie while we watch project runaway. We only went up to sleep at 5am.

You can order this cookies to add/put into your goodie bags. Price at RM 1.50 to RM2.00 each depending on size. Smallest at RM1.50. Minimum order 50 pieces. Thank you word or even your baby's name ( additional charge apply ) can be embossed into the cookie but please order 1 month early ( as I need to order a custome embosser for you).
