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?

Princess Cake

It is every girls dream...to be a princess. That is why wedding dresses, wedding cakes and decorations are important to them. Wedding day is the closest they get to being a princess.
This cake has all the shine and bling to be one unique royal-like cake. It was purple but looks whitish under the strong lighting at the reception hall. The bottom tier is chocolate cake, the middle tier is strawberry-vanilla cake and fruit cake on the top.
The cake was replicated from the photo emailed by the bride.

“THE CURIOUS CASE of Pink and Green BUTTONS”

30 April 2011

Luckily the pastels pink and green buttons did not gets smaller….they stayed cute and sweet.

Had to use my imagination and whatever tools I have to create different button styles. My daughter helped me making these buttons…ha..ha…my hired ‘in-house’ helper! Hey…she got paid you know.

English Roses

22 May 2009

This my favorite....my masterpiece. I did it for Shafriza's wedding. The red tones roses are to fulfill her request for English Roses theme. Those flowers are edible as I made everything myself. I bet kids love eating these sweet treats. Mine does!

The arrangement in this green box is my hubby's work.
