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

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 😉

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 😉

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)

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 😉

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

This was my favourite piece on this cake

I do hope kak Ida n her family especially her mom is happy with this cake 🙂

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 😉

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”

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 😀

rainbow on rainbow cake

it’s becoming a trend now to have rainbows on rainbow cakes..i’ve been getting a lot of request for rainbow deco on cake lately..it IS rather cute I must say 😉

another upcoming trend on rainbow cakes decoration are colourful and bright colours covering the whole cake! some people are crazy over it, but it’s just not my style 😉 mine is smple n cute..or is it..hehe 😀  i do believe  in “less is more” 😉

rainbows for birthdays ~

rainbows for eid ~

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 😀
