Ben10 is number 1

Rainbow cake is getting “numbered” again 😉 This time it is the number “1”..Nurul from kuantan requested the cake for her nephew’s first birthday 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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 😉

Big n small

Got a request to make THE Chocolate Cake in larger size..as always, I forgot to weight the cake but I estimated the large one is around 2 kilos and the smaller or regular sized cake is around a kilo..

Here we have the cakes ready for decoration

For the large cake I didn’t do much..because its owner want it to be plain..but I just have to add a bit of color to it..hehe..I feel red is always great looking againts black 😉

And for the regular sized cake, it was requsted to be decorated with “lotsa love” as I did on the red velvet cheesecake earlier

And a lot of words too..LOL

Romantic red velvet cheesecake

It’s the red velvet cheesecake’s turn to get all romantic 😉

A heart shaped red velvet cake for the base

Decorate it with bright red rossettes to add more flair..”can u feel the love tonight”

To get a smooth border of red velvet cake crumbs, i press them gently towards the cake using a butter knife

A personalised birthday wish from a wife to her beloved husband

Rilakkuma Rainbow Cake Exposed!

I love this pic!

thank u so much haleeda for sharing this pic 🙂 It’s a wonderful feeling just looking at it 😀 as I said before..I really REALLY appreciate pictures of my cakes from my customers 😉 thank u! THANK YOU!

 

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 😉

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

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

Draw some details – eyes, nose n mouth

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

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 😉

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

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

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

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 😉

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

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

Romantic rainbow

Who says rainbow cakes can’t be romantic..hehe..here we have a rainbow cake decorated with red roses to give it a romantic look for anniversary cake 😉

Piped with bright red stripes on the sides (which now have become my favorite method of covering the sides of a rainbow cake)..and three roses on top..ain’t it just romantic.. 😉

happy anniversary 🙂

Pink Ombre

I’ve planned on doing ombre cakes for a long time but as usual haven’t got a chance to do so..this time when I got a request from cute Ras on making a mini rainbow cake, I requested to make her a pink ombre cake instead 😉 luckily she says yes and here we have my very first pink ombre cake 

and Ras being a dear, shared the photos of the cut cake with me 😀 (which I really appreciate a lot! )

initially I planned on naming the cake Rainbow Uno, but the cake is better known as ombre cakes…but guess what, maybe I WILL call this cake Rainbow Uno, as rainbow cakes are what we do best 😉

Thinking of some variations of colors for the Rainbow Uno series ~ and this one is “Pretty in Pink”
