Miss Classic

I know I have been very quiet on my blog... or rather been too lazy to blog after all my trip... in fact, I am blogging this in the airport lounge while waiting for my flight to Hong Kong.

Not too long ago, to be precise, last week, I have submitted one of my latest cake and it was made top 3. I love this cake so much that I have named her Miss Classic. On top of that, I have also submitted Miss Classic for CakesDecor.com Fall Quaterly award, and it has made into the 8th position. There were a total of 187 cakes in the competiton, and I am very happy that it has went into top 10.

Sharing with you my Miss Classic....time for boarding, bye for now...

Oriental Peonies on Top 3

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a popular festival celebration by the Chinese. This festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, during a full moon, which is happening this month on the 19 Sept.

Very often, during any Chinese festival, Oriental peonies are always a popular flowers seen in every family. As such, I am revisiting my Oriental Peonies I did for this festival.

And yes, peonies are my top favourite sugar flowers. Super excited to know that my Oriental Peonies made into the Top 3 again... glad to know that my skill in making sugar flowers was recognised by many...Love you all...

Here's a peek of my pretty flowers!

Yup, not too long ago, I have submitted my work to Australia Cake Decorating Network to participate for the Cake Decorator of Year 2013. Reason being, I am pretty much satisfied with my work lately and wanted to challenge myself with the rest of the cake decorator around the work.

Woo-hoo, guess what!!! I made it into the Top 20 finalists International Category with the rest of the awesome cake decorator. Is another Whoa for me!!! I am seriously overwhelming with all the awards this 2 months... and of course, the more the merrier... :) (Who's not greedy? oops.... )

To be honest, I am thrilled and thankful to be in the top 20 already.... C'mon, with so many cake decorator participating, am I not fortunate enough already??? I am... Yes, I am. And I must thank to all those lovely people out there who loves me and my cake especially! With you people around, cake decorating is fun! :)

I have always in love with ruffles. And this is the best ruffling cake I did so far which I am very happy with it. I love it even more when I added one of my favourite flower and gold highlight on all the edges. Is elegant isn't? And this time, alongside with awesome cake decorators, BlissPastry & Avaloncakes. My Ombre Green Ruffles Wedding Cakes made into number 3 position.

My Favourite Ruffles Wedding Cake

Whoa, I have won 4th place!

Never expected that My Flower Girl cake made it into CakesDecor Summer 2013 Quarterly Award Competition. There were a total of 211 cakes in this competition and I have won 4th place! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! This was really a very encouraging "award" for me.

To be frank, cake decorating is still a very new and challenging "job" for me. Of course, I won't dare to compare myself to those big names like Mike, Debbie, Nicholas, Handi, Joseph, Bowen..... I started cake decorating 3 years back and to be able to make into 4th place, is indeed... the feeling is GOOD!!! (Yes, allow me to enjoy this few moment of fame!!! :)

But allow me to share with you my winning piece....

My Flower Girl

Another award winning cake

Oh well, no words can express how excited I am. Shortly after 2 weeks, Cakes Decor present me another Top 3 award for My Flower Girl cake.

This cake was inspired by a picture I saw on Google. The moment I saw the flower girl dress, I immediately fall in love with it. Inspiration is just something will strike by day by day. And this is it.. so much in love that I have decided to turn it into a cake.

First thing first, making sugar flower is a tiring project, and I have to make 4 different types of flowers for this cake. Rose, sweet pea, hydrangea and filler flowers. Sugar flowers are so fragile and which resulting I have to sort of double up what I am doing cos I know I am a clumsy person when it comes to putting so many flowers together on a cake. Breakage is unavoidable. Nevertheless, I am so proud of what I did and yes, my cake was in the number 1 position. Thanks Cakes Decor for making it happened. And all my fans out there! Love!
