Wedding Gifts

These were for another wedding. Order was made by my regular client, for her staff's wedding. She asked for a cake and fifteen mini cakes in the flavor of peanut butter.

This job was different since I had to use lots of sugarpaste to work with. At first I planned to make my own sugarpaste but I didn't dare to put this job at risk. You know, in case my sugarpaste didn't turn out good. So, as usual, I bought ready-made.

I really need to start making my own sugarpaste. The next semester break, I'll put my hands on it. Anyways, I like the peanut butter cake. It was tasty. It's just too bad for peanut butter haters.

Having A Ball!

I had two pairs of boob cakes ordered by my sister's colleague last two days. After making those two pairs, I had four extra semi circle mini cakes.

This was what I did. I put two semi circles together and iced them with buttercream into the shape of a beach ball. With the four semi circles, I made two. Ah, ain't life a beach ball!

Jenny Ratna's Birthday

For Jenny's birthday, Farrah ordered 9 birthday cupcakes.

The top right corner would be the most challenging design up to this day. :) Still what customers want, customers get.

They are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate truffles for fillings.

These boobies are also made for Jenny. Another challenging conquest yet I manage. The usage of sugarpaste was necessary for this sculpture cake. Saty who were helping me with the sculpture, was very detailed in sculpting the...excuse me, nipples. Mom helped with the coloring of the sugarpaste and she was a genius in combining colours that results in truly real hues.

Sugarpaste is just too sweet for me, but it gives a smooth realistic finish to the cake. It is normally used for wedding cakes and cakes that needs perfect finish.

I bought the sugarpaste readily from the store as making it would be too time consuming. I'm happy with these boobs. They are mini chocolate cakes.

A Belated Birthday

I made a carrot cake yesterday. It wasn't the best carrot cake recipe but I tried it anyways. I won't be writing recipe for this, because, like I said, it is not the best. Still, I like the taste of the cake.

I love the topping which was cream cheese. And because I think the topping is one of the best I've ever tasted, here's the recipe.

Yummy Cream Cheese Topping

1 cup cream cheese (at room temperature)

1/2 cup butter (softened)

2 tablespoon whip cream

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

2-3 cups icing sugar (depending on how much you need to flavour and to reach desired consistency)

1. Cream the cheese, butter, vanilla essence and whip cream together in a bowl.

2. When the cream turned fluffy, add in the icing sugar, a cup at a time until you get the type and taste that work best for you.

I decorated the cake especially for my sister, Saty, whose birthday was a week ago when I didn't have the time for baking.
