The best birthday ever!

Ever wonder being a cake decorator, what type of cake would you want to receive on your birthday?

This has been a question I have been asking myself.. but never get a answer. After being a cake decorator, I have no more birthday cakes to celebrate as many of my friends would reckon I will and can bake cake for myself. To be honest, I don't. I always feel that is funny to bake and decorate my own birthday cake. So, for these few years I have no cake on my birthday. 

So as usual, birthday is just another day, I normally will just be a couch potato for a day. Strangely, hubby keep arranging me to go shopping with my sis. He even went all the way out to arrange us to have lunch and tea after. Well, I thought that's pretty nice thought. OK, I have to take the offer, why not? Since everything is paid for.

I went home pretty late, and when I opened the door, I was overdose with the smell of chocolate! I was thinking I am out the whole day and who can be baking in my kitchen. I quickly hurried to the kitchen thinking could  it be I have accidentally leave the oven switch auto on....When I stepped into my kitchen, I am surprised with a cake bake by hubby. The cake was pretty nicely laid on the table. I have no idea how he can bake without my knowledge. Looking at his masterpiece, I am speechless! 

Thou is not a decorative cake, I am happy enough that he put in effort to make me one. I think this has to be my best birthday cake ever. Thank you darling!I feel so blessed.

Woo-hoo! Jacqueline Bulter commented on my cake!!!

Many of you if you have been following Jacqueline, you would have notice her top of the world flower - Open Peony. I have always wanted to try one, but is always so difficult without any guildance. Nevertheless, I tell myself, I must try to figure how. Today, I have a chance to try on for my sis's birthday. Staring at her hundred pictures of different angle of peony, finally I sort of figure it out... (given the slight talent I have in flowers!!! lolz) What's your take on my peony comparing to Jacqueline? lolz... not bad right? Yes, and guess what, I managed to get a few seconds of her attention by commenting on my page on this flower. Oooooh... I am so overwhelmed!!! And so I am going to share it here... :)

I am a busy bee in March

Today is my hubby's birthday. Making figurines can be time cosuming and tedious and detailed!!!

And so, since I have to make 2 more other cakes for my beloved sister and niece, so I cut it short by "chopping" off the golfer's leg, as such having him to stick to the grass "pretending he is being stuck" action!!!

Happy Birthday my darling! Love you always!

Hubby's cake

And so, after rushing for hubby's cake, next up - my sis turn! I reckon I always love to challenge myself, figurine is one, and again, drying time is necessary for sugar flowers. And this time, I have to quickly dry all the peonies flowers in a day, and quickly assemble them in a stalk for the following day. I pray for no hipcups, no mistakes, and most importantly no breakage! (yes, no no as I don't have extras to put it back on!!!)

After struggling through, and ta-da.... Yellow Peony Birthday Cake!

Sister's Cake

Last but not least... this time, easy peasy... The Present Box Cake!
