Edible Lace and Frill Applique with Hand Crafted Sugar Gardenia

This project really reminds me of the wedding dresses I made during my designer's days.
There is no brief, the customer just want a pretty cake adorned with sugar flower for her mum.
She pretty much gave me the liberty to design the cake and that is a music to my ears.

Design inspiration comes from the corded lace applique from wedding dresses.  Fondant frills were added to give a softer touch.

Love the simplicity of White Gardenia to gel the design together!

 

Cake flavour was sugee cake with homemade marzipan

 

Happy Mother's Day!

 

 

V is for Victory

A letter V cake for Josephine's farewell.

 

Below is my customer's message behind the "V"

 

V is for Victory

"Victory belongs to the Lamb who sits on the throne." Rev

The pure white sacrificial and red blood of the lamb reflects my working life at VIC.

 

Cake flavour was vanilla sponge cake with passion fruit Swiss meringue buttercream.

 

Handcrafted Sugar Gardenia

Finally, I get to seat down and explore new sugar flower.
Gardenia is a beautiful flower and the scent is just as wonderful to experience. 

This flower has some deep floral meaning, it actually means"You are lovely" and also a symbol of a secret love.

 

Love the Gardenia over the natural background,  will you mistaken this a real flower?

 

 

 

 

TOGETHER WE make a FAMILY Cupcakes

 

This was done for sweet Gladys, who was looking to get her dad a set of cupcakes for his 67th Birthday.

 

Design inspiration was from her description of her dad :

   " He is a family man, everything family first..."

   " He loves to watch boxing matches and he used to be a sailor"

   "My dad's hobby is us! Haha"

 

A set of family faces cupcake ensemble to signify"TOGETHER WE make a FAMILY" theme.

 

 

 

                          
       

                                  

                          

                          

Cupcake flavour was moist chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache.

Like FATHER like SON Birthday Cake

This was done for sweet Cheryl, the bride whom I designed the gown for few years ago.
She was looking to get her husband and son a cake to celebrate their birthday which was few days apart.

Her son, Nigel's favourite are elephant, train and car.  Whereas her husband, Nelson is a big fan of Liverpool so we decided to incorporate the elements into the cake design.

Cake flavour was tender and moist chocolate cake with chocolate ganache with Valrhona crunchy pearls.

"THE BIRTHDAY CHRONICLE" for James Chan

This cake is for Uncle James 86th Birthday(eldest brother of my father-in-law)
Uncle James used to be a reporter in 1950's and we thought that a newspaper Birthday Chronicle cake is very suitable for this special occasion.

 

Today’s cake might just be the simplest cake I’ve ever decorated.  While I love the challenge of creating a complex design with lots of intricate details.  But sometimes it is good to keep it simple and meaningful.  This is a very meaningful project with the joint effort of my niece Beverly, my sister-in-law, Tina and me.
Tina came up with the copy writing of Uncle James'  milestones, accomplishments over the years, Beverly did the artwork layout, I baked and decorated the cake.

Cake flavour was Uncle James favourite D24 Durian cake.

Happy Easter Bunny Cake

A simple and yet fun bunny cake for our family Easter lunch.

 

Cake flavour was carrot cake.  This cake has excellent spice flavours, paired with a moist crumbs, sweet pineapple, golden raisins and crunchy walnut. No sugar is added to the white chocolate cream cheese filling, this filling taste so good that it literally melt in your mouth.

My favourite is the carrot shape macaron decorated around the cake.

Happy Easter!!!
