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...

Winning top 3 again!

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!

I am obsessed with rrrrruffles.....

I think I am seriously obsessed with ruffles... especially on cakes. Partly I guess I must have been inspired by Maggie Austin. I just obsessed all her work. Detail, precise, sharp and clean cut. Previously I did a wedding cake with the inspiration of one of her cake idea.

Green Cymbidium Ruffles Wedding Cake

Today, I did another engagement cake with a tweak of my own ruffling. This is definitely a much more easy, detail and clean cut way to have it on cakes. I am loving the way how the ruffling turned out on this cake of mine.

Many a times, when we decorate a cake, we tense to go overboard by having non-stop decorations on it. That is why I always remind myself constantly, never do this again. I used to love having lots of different componet on a cake… but sometimes, someday… Less is more, simplicity is beauty…
I seriously love seeing ruffles on cakes, specially on wedding or engagement cakes…

 

Less is more, simplicity is beauty… :)

More rrrrrrrruffling!

I know I am getting there when I receive yet another call asking for ruffles wedding cake...

This time, the bride wanted me to follow a night gown design she will be wearing. Hmm, this is the first time that I have such a request but yes, I can't wait to take on this challenge...

What is making me excited is... she is going to wear a pink night own... woo-hoo!!!!

Ruffles are time consuming, but I am loving how it turned out on the cake. I hope I have done justice to her own... lolz...

Presenting my new love.... ruffles cake!

Nigel & Cheryl's Big Day!

When I was asked to do a dessert table & wedding cake for Nigel & Cheryl... I was like, yes please! I have seen them together since school days and almost like 10 years after school and to the day they are saying "Yes" together...

But actually having to agreed to do their wedding cake and dessert table spread was rather kind of hectic and rush for me... I have booked my trip much earlier before I agree to do it. When I back, I am left with only 4 days to do everything from scratch.... designing, drafting, crafting, baking & decorating... gosh, all these in 4 days???

Doing a checklist - I have like thousand and one things to do...

A 4 tier wedding cake
Cupcakes
Cake pops
Macarons
Sugar dough
Carrot Cake
Brownie
Cookies


I am thinking "All these in 4 days???" "To cater for 250 pax".....Me alone??? No way???

But yes, I can do it with less than 48 hours of sleep in total of 4 days.... Less than 48 hours of sleep??? Holly cow!!!!

And tada....
