50th Wedding Anniversary

My friend, P, ordered this 2-tier heart shape cake for her uncle's 50th wedding anniversary.

It was a 4.5 kg yam cake, frosted with buttercream.

3-Tier Wedding Cake

This was a replica of the engagement cake that we did in December.

This time it was for a wedding.

I love the kissing couple topper on the top tier, so beautiful !

Engagement Cake

Daisy Wedding Cake

We had the opportunity to make a wedding cake for J's wedding tomorrow. I've been very nervous about it for the past week, this being our first 2-tier wedding cake !

Preparation began a week ago when the order was confirmed, from soaking the dried fruits with brandy, to making the sugar paste. Gosh, I made 3 kg of sugar paste this time & it was so so tough kneading it, especially when tinting it a pastel blue shade !!!

I'm still not confident in making 3D flowers yet, so I rely on my daisy plunger cutter set.
I hope the next time I have the chance to make a wedding cake again, I'll be able to come up with some really 'real' looking sugar flowers .......

Birthday Wedding

This was for a wedding as well as a birthday celebration.

Chicky had this cake for her friend's garden wedding at STAR. Shape & design was her idea, we just added some details on the cake. Initially I was worrying if the cakes can survive the hot weather last Saturday at the garden wedding. When her friend picked up the cake, I told her to get the hotel staff to put it in the freezer. Everything went well & I was glad that the guests enjoyed the cake. Thank you, Chicky !

Oh, one look at the cake, one could tell this was a mango cake & usual ' 3 layers of sponge with 2 layers of filling' !

* While I was typing this post, I started wondering when a similar cake with similar design (or any of mine !) with similar description of it will surface in someone's blog again ?? Sigh........

Wedding Cake/Cupcakes

We've done our first wedding cake on Saturday.

This time the fondant was made from scratch, but not the flowers though. I wanted to make my own simple gum paste flowers but there's no way I could get gum tragacanth or Gum-Tex or Tylose so I gave up the idea. Moreover the wedding was yesterday & I only got the call few days before it.

This wedding cake was a small one, just for cutting. It was a rich chocolate cake. J also ordered 40 vanilla cupcakes together with the wedding cake.
