Strawberry shortcake cake

'S' forwarded to me the picture of a three tier strawberry shortcake and wanted something similar for today's party. Instead of three tier, we settled with two and this is what I came out with. I'm so glad to note from S that the cake was a big hit. Thank you S for making my day!

PapaDino

Papa dino is out to look for his young blue dino.....:)

Blue Dinosaur

This is one friendly and happy dinosaur. I enjoy making this so much :)

Anniversary Cake

Today is our 17th anniversary, how time flies. Had a chat with my friend J last week and got the idea of making wedding bells for this anniversary cake. Thanks J.

The two eggs in the nest are fruits of our love (my 2 kids). Thanks to dh who has been so loving, caring.... he's an excellent husband and father.

Not forgetting to thank my friend 'L' for the cake, I didn't bake this cake, she baked it and I just decorated it.

Wanted to make Strawberry cake but.....

......I have no clue how to get real RED colour whipped cream. No choice have to compromise with PINK instead (red + white = pink). Sigh!

A cake that I made sometime ago....

Am feeling bored and saw this cake picture that I made sometime ago. This is my very first figurine cake and I put them on an ice-cream cake!! As you can see the front part of the cake is melting (yes, I wasn't fast enough in decorating and wish I've an air-cond kitchen then).... and the troll is way too heavy for the melting ice-cream to support. From then on I started to play with sugar paste and making more and more out of it...... till now I'm still playing with this dough.

I have to thank a virtual friend V from USA who is so kind and patient to share her knowledge on this area. Thank you V.

Last minute

This morning received an sms .... after sending my kids to school, I started baking cake and gosh after the cake was in oven baking for about 10 minutes, then I realised that I didn't put butter in my cake!!! There it goes my cake.... Bought somemore fresh eggs and start baking again before my kids come back from school. In the afternoon when the kids are home, I started decorating as I needed it ready by evening. Since this is a last minute cake and I have no spare time to wait for the sugar paste to dry, so just put the circles on the cake.

Phew! Today is really a tired day for me, rushing here and there ....and tried to complete the cake in time.

Polka Dot handbag and shoe

Few weeks ago I received an enquired email if I take order. Since I enjoy doing cake deco and am free to take up this new venture, I agreed to do it for R. This cake is specially for her daughter and was told that she likes pink and purple. So I made this pink/purple polka dots handbag and shoes. Also added a bottle of nail polish and lipstick. Birthday girl's name is written on the shoes and initial "G" is on nail polish and lipstick.

Thank you R for giving me this opportunity to make and decorate cake again. Hope you and your daughter like it.

Castle Cake

Have wanted to try out castle cake and finally I get the chance to do it. Very long hours..... and the birthday girl likes blue, hence have all the window blue.

My children wanted me to add in Maple Story characters, so I used my free time to make a few Maple Story figurines for my kids to place them on the cake (they are two more characters not shown which were given to the birthday girl's sister for them to place on the cake).

Formula One

This cake is specially for 'J' who will be celebrating his 2nd birthday on 21st Sept, 2006. I've put his birthday date on the racing car, red car represents date (21), blue car is for the month (09) and yellow car shows the year (2006). Whereas the number 2 road refers to his 2nd birthday. They are three used tyres from the race, that's why they are all 'botak'... :)

Pig Pen

This is pig pen cake for a girl who will be celebrating her 11th birthday tomorrow (born in year of PIG). Took pictures of top, front and side views of the cake. Hope she will like this.

Twin BB boys

There are two milk bottles, two pacifiers, twins BB and added two 'star' to celebrate twins' full moon. I hope the parents like this cake as much as I do.

ZH's birthday cake

Today is ZH's birthday, made an ice-cream cake for him (as requested). Besides dragon, he likes penguins (so do I), so here's the penguins ice-cream cake to celebrate his actual birthday.

Another wizard & owl cake

This wizard is shorter and has a bigger owl assistant than ZH's birthday cake.

Wizard cake

Today ZH invited few of his classmates to celebrate his birthday. Instead of making him a dragon cake, I made a wizard cake. I'm glad that he is happy with this cake. Was worry that I'm unable to complete this mission as I've problem getting the figurines dry (due to wet weather), lucky yesterday and today are sunny and I made it.

Cupcakes

Tried out my new toy (gum paste flowers making tools), made some little flowers from it. With the help of the tools, it's so much easier and the final products are so even unlike making free-hand. So glad that dh got this for me... thank you.

Grand Piano Cake

Made this cake for my daughter's piano teacher for teacher's day celebration. Initially plan to make it only next Thursday and intended to make the piano using fondant. However, baking mood just strike on me.... due to last minute change of decision and if I were to make the piano with fondant, it will definately not dry within one day, so I make it with styrofoam instead. Lucky I have my daughter to help me with the detailed of a grand piano. She really helps me a lot to produce this final product, thank you ZR for your helps.

Royal Icing Butterflies cake

This is my first time using royal icing, not as difficult as I thought. I made the butterflies wings and let them dry overnight. The next day I make the body and attached the wings to it. The following day, I got all these butterflies done, pretty easy. In this cake, I only wanted white, yellow and green, hence came out with white fondant flowers to go with it.

Dragon Head

Knowing my son loves dragon and his birthday is getting closer, I tried to make it using fondant. Have attempted several times making dragon / dragon character in the book titled 'Eldest' and I failed all. Thinking that this round I'll pass (have yet to make its' body) but I'm wrong.... Guess I'm just not cut to make dragon, it's too tough for me.

My lovely penguins

These penguins were done sometime back with the help of my children and hubby (thanks for their inputs and patient with me). One of my favourite figurines but didn't get the chance to put them on cake. One of this day I'll make them again and will let them be where they are supposed to be (either with an igloo or ....).
