Ben10 is number 1

Rainbow cake is getting “numbered” again πŸ˜‰ This time it is the number “1”..Nurul from kuantan requested the cake for her nephew’s first birthday πŸ™‚

As usual I baked a Square rainbow cake and layered them to start with..and cut into pieces like these

image

Arrange them into the number 1 (cut off a bit to make it perfectly number 1 and glued the pieces together with icing)

image

image

Covered the cake with icing..and now I love piping the sides of a rainbow cake with stripes of colors πŸ˜‰

image

image

Nurul requested a Ben10 themed cake..and she wanted to put the birthday boy s picture on the cake..but since it was a very last minute order, I didn’t have time to prepare the edible image for the cake..so I gave her an alternative..photo flags to stick on the cake

image

Hope Nurul and her family is happy with the cake πŸ˜€ and I do hope she would share her pic of the cake with me..if she does I”ll share em with u πŸ˜‰

63

Making a numbered cake is always fun..this time I’m doing a double digit cake – 63..it was a challenge for me as I’m used to make cheerful and cute single digit cakes for kids πŸ˜‰

This 63 numbered cake is for a mom as a special gift from her kids..Kak Ida from bukit sekilau, Kuantan and her siblings wanted a number 63 cake for their mom..I feel happy to make the cake because I was given the freedom to use my creativity on this cake (every baker appreciates this i think..hehee)

At first I still had no idea on how to decorate the cake..even after the cake was baked I was still not inspired..hehe..but I kept on going..carved the cake into “63” (only after the cake was 100% done I realized a spot I forgot to carve on the number 3)

image

As I was deciding the color for the cake..the design of the just came to me..yay! The theme was pink and I suddenly was in the mood for roses πŸ˜‰

image

image

And I was in the mood for chocolates..so here’s the cake fully decorated with buttercream roses and heart shaped chocolates all over..I hope it’s not too much..LoL

image

This was my favourite piece on this cake

image

I do hope kak Ida n her family especially her mom is happy with this cake πŸ™‚

Rilakkuma cake

Do u know japan’s laziest bear..yeah u guessed it..it’s Rilakkuma! Hehe

Got a request to make this cute bear from a small rainbow cake..so I baked a square rainbow cake in a 7×7 pan (which I just bought, specially for this cake project)..layer them..crumb coat and chill in the fridge for a while and carved the shape of Rilakkuma’s head πŸ˜‰

image

Cover the whole cake with brown buttercream (I was really happy with this color – mix brown and yellow)

image

Smoothed the buttercream and draw a white blob for his mouth and nose later on

image

Draw some details – eyes, nose n mouth

image

Add a black outline and fill in the ear with yellow frosting..and here we have my version of a Rilakkuma cake..

image

My “engineering drawing” for the cake..LOL

Cake project: Elmo cake

Elmo..either u love him or u despise him..hehe..he’s got a lot of fans out there..that’s for sure πŸ˜‰

Nurul requested the cake to be round..usually we would make elmo cakes with elmo’s head shaped..so round elmo it is πŸ˜‰

Baked a moist chocolate cake (1 batter) in a deep 10 inch pan and crumb coat it with red buttercream..I used a combination of americolor red colors – red red, super red and a bit of maroon..and used the grass tip to pipe elmo’s fur

image

I noticed elmo has a very large nose..so I cut out a rectangular piece of cake (leftovers from previous cake project)..shaped it into a large round nose and coat with orange buttercream

image

Put the nose in the freezer for a while, and once the buttercream hardens a bit, took it out and smoothed it using the back of a butter knife (or a spatula if u like)..and I piped some black buttercream for the eyes too πŸ˜‰

image

Assemble the parts and here we have an elmo cake..the eyeballs are just blobs of buttercream

image

It kind a look like any other monster from seasame street..hehe..if it is in blue it would definitely look like the cookie monster or even grover..LOL
