Miniature cakes... for Aliyya 's & Imran 's Wedding on 7 July 2007

The miniature cakes were presented to the guests who attended the dinner in conjuction with Aliyya and Imran's wedding. I had earlier prepared kek hantaran and a 3-tier wedding cake for them. I am so exhausted thoroughout the week. This is when you would say... I Need My Sleep!!!

The time required for making these miniature cakes were long. It takes a lot of passion and perseverance. It would also require a lot of royal icing, fondant, butter, sugar, etc.....

Here are some of the miniature cakes that I have done for the event..

"Life begins at 40" Cakes

They say that life begins at 40. These are my siblings and they have joined this club. I note that I shall be joining them soon. But don't they look cool...

Girls Rule!!!

Another set of birthday cakes using edible image. The "Mulan-Rynna" cake was the second edible image which I designed. It was difficult to find the perfect picture to match Ryanna's original picture but when I found this particular picture of Mulan, I was ecstatic. It fitted exactly perfect with Ryanna's. So, with some creativity and imagination, this is what I was able to come up with. I'm so glad that my dearest friend, Shireen, was very happy.

This is cake was ordered by my dear friend, Janet. I'm very touched with her story on how she surprised her daughter with the birthday cake. Of course, she threw a birthday party but no one was allowed to peep at the birthday cake, not even her other children. Because the cake was covered in sugarpaste, it was safe to leave it in the closet, instead of the refrigerator. So, the time has arrived for the candle blowing and cake cutting. The cake was carried into the hall .... and for the first time, the birthday girl, Megan, saw the cake. No words came out from her mouth.. SHE WAS SPEECHLESS. Hence, Janet asked Megan if she likes the cake. Megan said that she LOVED the cake!!!! Seeing the cake, having her photo together with Lizzie Mcguire were too much for Megan... Of course, as a mother, if the child is happy, Janet was too. And as for me, if my customer is happy, it's worth all my time and effort.

The thing that I like about this case was the challenge to come up with the edible picture. The girl, Seetha, was actually hugging her father. Whereas, it was difficult to find a decent picture of Christina Aguillera. I was lucky to find the one of Christina which is very decent, a picture which would be instantly approved by mothers. So, finally, I managed to come out with this edible image and cake.

Mommy, I Would Like To Have Doll Cake, please......

Doll cakes are sooooo beautiful.. Nothing is more beautiful than using a Barbie doll for your cake. It serves 2 purposes, namely, a beautiful doll cake and a play doll (just clean the doll after the cake cutting), a gift for the birthday.

I even baked for myself for my 23rd birthday. Because it was mine, the cake was extremely heavy... (4 + kg).

Others..

Now you see why I say that Barbie doll cake is the prettiest...... I hope you will concur with my view.

Happy Birthday To You!!!

Drum roll...rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to all of you
Happy birthday to you..........

The boys just loved them especially seeing their faces with their favourite characters. They were really the Power Rangers' fans.

2-in-1 Cakes

Have you ever come across a situation where you want to celebrate the birthday of 2 of your children at the same time? In most cases, you might have to buy 2 cakes because of each of the children would want to cut his/her own cake, right? Don't you think that the costs of buying 2 cakes would be doubly expensive? See the solution that I have proposed to my customers.................

Solved the problem!!!

Sugar Boxes as Door Gifts...

Another alternative that can be given to guests as door gift is sugar boxes. Why sugar boxes? I like sugar boxes because they are long-lasting as they are bug-free and do not get spoil easily when compared to cupcakes and cakes. You may want to fill in the boxes with quality candies/chocolates or perhaps, "pot pourri". I did my first sugar box for my wedding as "hantaran" as shown here.

Here are some pictures of other sugar boxes...

Cupcakes for Nazri's Wedding on 13 February 2010

Recently, I've completed a project of baking and decorating 1000 pcs cupcakes for Nazri's wedding. He is my cousin's (Puan Hadiah Hanan) one and only hero... opps.. son. It was a beautiful wedding ceremony. His sisters, Nadia and Nurul, looked stunning that day (Yeah... now that their brother has gotten married, their time will be soon). Some of the VVIPs who attended the wedding included Tun Mahathir and Tun Siti Hasmah. My family had the chance to take a few snapshots with them, too. Just our luck!

Here are some pictures of the cupcakes which I made for the event.

I'm glad that the family likes the cupcakes.
