Birthday Cake

I made this two tiers for Jah's birthday :) Chocolate cake with vanilla frosting on the top, and chocolate cake with chocolate ganache for the bottom part. The cake was covered with vanilla fondant. My work seemed messy. Rolling those fondant make my body ached.

Teddy Cupcakes

I received an order of a box of chocolate cupcakes the other day. As the cake was prepared for kids, I was told to add a bear on top of the cake.

I was working for KLIBF 2011 for the week, and preparing the cakes as soon as I got home is definitely a challenge. I have to make the mise-en-place for 4 days earlier to get the job done. I guess, the hardest part was to make the teddy figurine.

I was kind of lazy to make any fondant. So, I asked my brother to buy me some prepared fondant instead. Apparently, there's only purple fondant left. That's explained why the teddy were purple!

What do you think of the cupcake?

Fondant Practicing

Today's Aimi from burp! le festin avec moi birthday. I made her a birthday cake, while practicing my fondant. They were lemon sponge cake with strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream and covered with vanilla fondant. This fondant was definitely hard to roll as compared to the marshmallow fondant. I think my body's begin to sore from rolling them. XD The cake wasn't exactly how I planned the it to look like, but I think it was pretty good too... Maybe I should take a cake decorating class?

Anyway...

Happy Birthday Aimi~
