Have you thought about putting your edible photo on an edible frame on your wedding cake? Or birthday cake? Or whatever cake you can think of?
Well...this is how it will look like.

This delicate frame is made from royal icing...I am sure some of your relatives or friends would be happy to munch you...ha,ha,ha!
Such a tedious process but the outcome is mind blowing! This particular piece was done during my three day workshop at The Dessert Table, Mutiara Damansara under the coaching of Puan Farida.

I just want to ride on my motorcycle

I love being challenged with new cake design...one I have not attempted before, like this one.
When I was asked if I can do a 3D Harley Davidson cake, I know I want to do it. After "google..ing" , deep in my heart I know I can do this despite the fact that it was my first time. Internet and U-Tube are my teachers.
Baking, cake stacking, trimming into shape, covering with fondant and attaching all the details took me 10 hours or maybe more....I didn't really count. I was enjoying myself.
Despite the long hours I felt tremendous pleasure when this cake is completed. My son even made a poster of it.

The Architect

Finally ....I built something. And it is edible! I built a gazebo...a sugar gazebo. It was made from royal icing...a very delicate one.


This three tier cake was done under the coaching of Puan Farida from The Dessert Table. It was a 3 day workshop I went. A very fun and interesting workshop. I learned some new royal icing techniques and tips from the coach.

The yellow cake with white details looks regal in my opinion. What is yours?

" I AM A CAMERA"

                           " I am a camera, I am a cake,

                                    I am delicate, not easy to make,

                                    I am black and not a fake,

                                    I am a chocolatey bake, 

                                    that will make you break,

                                    Hmm...I am delicious, make no mistake,

                                    Shout it to the world, whatever it takes."

Fast and Furious...or not!

As a car this Mercedes Coupe SLS is definitely fast and furious but as a cake, it is not. It is delicious though!
I made this awhile back...my second car cake using fondant covering. Safuraa's husband was really surprised getting this for his birthday.
I stacked a few layers of chocolate cakes, then trimmed it into shape. I never went for a formal class in 3D cake making but U-Tube videos are a blessing. With fondant I can add more details into the cake. Finally, it was brushed with edible Pearl Dust, giving it a lustre look.

I Know What You Did Last Summer…..

20 May 2009

BUT do you know what I did on my birthday ???
This is what I did:
I baked 6 layers of rainbow colour cakes, each 10’’ x 15’’ and about 1 cm thick ( maybe less )…took me an hour or so to complete. Then I painstakingly stacked them up… well, at this point I kind of realized that no wonder I only see Rainbow Cakes in small, normal sizes. Hah…too late…had to make it work. Imagine trying to assemble a huge flat thin cakes without crumbling them to pieces !!!



AND …. the cake….covered and decorated with fondant. The center image is edible image printed by Naim from FrostFirst ( http://frostfirst.blogspot.com/ ).
This cake was made specially for my husband’s high school Alumni’s Bowling Tournament.

BEN…2D or 3D?

21 April  2011

Farah: “Ben10 theme cake for my son, kak. Can you make Ben figurine just like the Spiderman?
Me:“ You mean the fat Spiderman? Hah, Hah, Hah…I can try”
Farah:“If you can’t, just make it 2D”     
Me:“ Aaa…ok.”
Guess what? I made the “Ben” but he is cuter than he actually is.

Oh yes …”HAPPY MOTHERS DAY” to all mums wherever you are!

Pink and Brown? Weird?

16 April 2011

Ah well, I didn’t think pink and brown matches until I did this cake. It looks so classy and elegant! At least I think so…don’t know about you. I guess it depends on what shade of brown you used. I spend almost an hour at the store trying to figure out the right match.

Roses...Blue & Pink, The Sequel

3 March 2010

Another two wedding ceremonial gift cakes...one blue theme & the other pink theme.
The Sequel...requested by the same person but this time the decoration are more elaborate.
The ideas are from one of Wilton Wedding Cake book but we ( me & Shafriza, the customer) added some personal touch to them. Like what Simon Cowell always said  in American Idol "take it & make it your own"

Gold Rush

26 February 2010

How do I make gold color fondant??? Hmmm....how? how?

Do some research...do some queries...experiment ?! I did.... 

First I dusted some edible gold dust on white fondant , Ooo...didn't get the desired result. Then I mixed some color into fondant based on what I read on a sugarcraft page...not quite the gold I want, no glittery effect!

Searching mode on...creative mode on.....

TaDaaaaa...finally, yellow or lite orange colored fondant dusted with edible gold dust...and this is the result :

Sexy Sexy Cake

"Hello...my daughter wants a sexy looking cake. Can you make it?" , asked my friend over the phone and the discussion went on. Finally, this was what we agreed on; a doll cake.

This two tier cake went from KL to North of Peninsular Malaysia...Rantau Panjang to be exact. Wow...the distance it travelled...luckily it survived the journey and the fact that the top cake is a dummy also helps.

It was made for my brother-in-law's sister-in-law's wedding...Haa..confusing?! My brother-in-law's wife's younger sister's wedding....Haa?! Ahh...forget it. It doesn't matter...what matter is it's my creation and I enjoyed the decoration process.

A marbled pink drape around the cake & dusted with 'pearl' edible dust. A new decoration tool I discovered...edible dust in a rainbow of colors.

Roses...Blue & Pink

11 February 2010

This order came suddenly...but somehow I manage to fit them into my schedule. Two 'simple'    ( the blue one is but the pink...not so) wedding ceremonial gift cakes....Pink theme & Blue theme.

Back to Class 3

26 December 2009

A perfect ending to my 2009 cake activities...my Wilton Fondant & Tiered Cakes workshop. The same five ladies plus two new ones. One of them is a 16 year old girl. Wow..

We learned to decorate a square cake...gift cake. I have done a similar cake design a few times before but nonetheless, I get to learn a few more useful tips from the instructor. Cool...

Next are these royal icing flowers: Poinsettia (pink), Morning Glory (Purple), Petunia(Yellow) and Easter Lily (White). They takes awhile to dry but a good alternative to gumpaste flowers.

My roses...Wilton style:

My final cake:

English theme Wedding cake

13 December 2009

This one is for Faiza's & Zulkifli's wedding at Singgahsana Hotel, PJ.
The request was to send it to the hotel lobby. Her sister & the hotel staff will take it from there but I helped bring it to the hall anyway, only to discover that the floral arrangement on the table was so high it covered 2/3 of the tier cake. Ouch!
And guess what they don't even have a proper cake stand...just some tiny pan wrapped in aluminum pan! Since the kitchen staff were so busy & unhelpful, me & the bride's brother worked something out.
When I come back for the reception at noon, I was relieved to see the "jungle"  has been 'trimmed' and the cake is visible. Glad...so glad the mother of the bride took the matter in her own hand.

That aside, this is what I did....

Hey Little Girls !

11 December 2008

My first attempt at "Doll Cake" a.k.a. "Barbie Cake"....is for Shikeen's little girl. I baked in layers because I was afraid I will get some uncooked part inside. Wouldn't be nice, right? However, the cake turned out lovely...Shikeen sent me the photo of the cut cake.

MY FIRST CAKE...

April 2007

My affair with cake decorating started about 2 years back. I attended a bread making workshop conducted by Berita Publishing in January 2007.Chef Anuar demonstrated cake decorating using fresh cream. "Hey...I can do that!", my heart said.And I've never decorate a cake before...Ha,Ha..what was I thinking?!
Later, BAGUS outlet Kajang conducted a fondant workshop in April 2007. I went & voila! My first decorating effort:



The workshop was fun & never thought I can do this...look at the cake above. But I did! And the "WoW!" reaction from my husband tops it all.
