LEGO cake

hi there!!! how I missed blogging here! It has been really looooong since I last posted. I am still baking and decorating, the usual stuff, nothing to fancy yet not too shabby..heheh..been working on a few projects here n there..the kids are growing, 2 toddlers in the house ~ means hand are full, schedules are tight, lots of stuff to do and learn 😉

here’s a LEGO inspired cake complete with a lego man stick. this is the usual rainbow cake, with all 6 colourful layers in it 😉

 

have u guys watched the LEGO Movie? we have and I just loved it! “everything is awesome!” <– can’t get this tune out of my head for weeks…LOL

Send-a-cake: mini doll cake

I just love send-a-cake requests! Today I sent off this cute mini doll cake as a surprise for the birthday girl from someone special who couldn’t be with her on her special day..I love making people happy and making relationships stronger 😉

I purposely make the writing in a slightly darker shade to make it subtle rather than contrasting colors as I want eyes to focus on the doll cake, yet make it a personalised cake especially for the birthday girl..it is special but not too loud..I think..LOL

Mini Doll cake

Found this cute little doll..just had to grab her n make her a cake! 😉

Since its just a small doll, one small cake was sufficient enough (half a batter)

Piped some frosting on the board to “glue” the cake on the board..I used a 7inch round cake board for this cute lil cake

Place the cake on the board and cut a small hole in the middle to place the doll (I baked a chocolate cake in a small bundt pan)

Wrap the little darling with plastic wrap and “stick” it in the cake

Coat the cake with icing

Piped some icing on her body for clothing, and some detailings for her dress..I made a very simple design..just some pink swirls in front and sprinkled some decorative sugar on the dress 😉

hannah montana guitar cake

mr amir requested a hannah montana themed cake for her daughter, and I offered him a hannah montana guitar cake instead! i just love cake carving..have to seize this opportunity of a cake project! 😉

went to the baking supplies shop to find the largest cake board, and all they have was a 13×18 board..ah well, that’ll just have to do 😀

baked a chocolate cake in a 9×13 pan n cut it out into a guitar silhouette

here we have the guitar on the cake board

crumb coat

and piped some details for the guitar

add some edible image to make it obviously hannah montana 😀

Barbie doll cake

I’ve always wanted to make a Barbie doll cake..but I don’t know who to make it for..huhu..thanks to my regular customer rafidah, I get a chance to make this beautiful cake. To me, the idea of a doll cake is not just the cake shaped like a doll, but giving the doll as a gift to the celebrated birthday girl as well ~ double joy! 😀

Rafidah requested the cake to be decorated pink and purple..I choose a Barbie doll with her dress readily “printed” on her body, so that I won’t have to put buttercream on her body..that would be messy and kind a ruin the beautiful doll..hehe..I had fun mixing the colors as I tried to match the colors on the doll itself..the colors turned out to be very unique and pretty 😉 talk about customized colors!

Here’s the Barbie doll cake fully decorated. Since Barbie has very long legs, I had to put not 4, but 5 layers of cake to hold her! I didn’t use the special Barbie “skirt” pan, just your regular round cake pan in different sizes and a small bundt pan for the top of the skirt and a bit of cake carving 😉

The Barbie doll cake after some personalization, made specially for the birthday girl Amina 😉

The cake definitely couldn’t fit ANY cake box! LOL 😀
So, this is how we impovise..heee 😉

Thank you so much rafidah. Your order really made my day 😀

Angry bird cake ~ flying solo

In my past entry I shared my angry birds and the whole gang cake..this time around it’s just the red bird all alone..flying solo..and still ANGRY! LOL

still figuring out what to use as its beak

Here’s the finished product..ready to party! 😀

Jersey cake – Liverpool

Another jersey cake from our kitchen 😉 this time it’s for a Liverpool fan 😀

I am number 4

This entry has nothing to do with the movie..hehe..it’s about this cake shaped like the number 4 B-)

It’s a rainbow cake shaped like the number 4..I baked the rainbow cake square shaped, layered the cake n cut it out into number 4 shape; my way (hope u can see the lines)

As usual I usually make some changes while assembling the cake..and here we have the coated number 4 cake ready to be decorated

And here’s the fully decorated cake; ultraman themed 🙂

1Malaysia

It’s our “other” national day today 😉 for a few years now we’ve been using this logo 1Malaysia for the celebration..1Malaysia read “satu Malaysia” which means one Malaysia is symbolising our nation standing as one and united despite our differences 🙂 ..nowadays everywhere n everything revolves around 1Malaysia..here’s my cake as the 1Malaysia logo B-)

kek 1Malaysia

Cake Project: Jersey Cake ~ SPAIN

I made two spain jersey cakes in one day..guess there’s a lot of spain fans out there..especially when they won euro 2012 😀  just moist chocolate cake with buttercream and edible images for the logos (I just know I cannot endure drawing the logo :p LOL)

Since I made two cakes at one go, I baked 3 batches of chocolate cakes, 2 in a 13×19 pan and 1 in an 8×8 pan. Split the cake in the 13×9 pan in two to make the ‘body’ and cut out some from the 8×8 pan for the sleeves and ‘glued’ them together with buttercream 🙂

decorate em..and wallah..here’s my version of Spain’s Jersey Cake 😉
