Pink & Black fondant cake

Like i've said in the earlier post, this week has been rather hectic for me cos i have a number of cake orders to fill. My mum conveniently told me that my cousin will be having a bday party thingy on fri. I automatically offered to make her a cake of course :p LOL I managed to squeeze in some time to prepare the deco for the cake a few days in advance, and to bake my cousin's cakes today when im suppose to bake 2 chiffon cakes that ppl ordered -_- and another 2 cakes on fri. & i'll be dedorating the cake on fri as well.. hectic & tiring.

Rather stressful, but yet i enjoy doing it, cos i am doing wat i like best :) Came up with a design after surfing the net for some inspirations. The colour is set, pink & black.

I love looking at 2-tier cakes or stacked cakes cos they look oh-so-pretty to me :) I then decided to make a stacked cake. This is my first time.. I was worried that the cake below can't take the weight of the cake above. Went surfing the net again, & found out that they have some sticks inserted into the bottom cake to support the weight of the cake above. Imagine if I had just stacked the cake.. disaster, it would sink!!! o_O

How naive of me to think that the cakes were just stacked onto one another without reinforcements... :p

Both of the cakes will chocolate cakes, with strawberry jam filling. Something different la rather than just choc cake wif choc fudge filling.

Wow... i officially hate using black fondant. It is so bloody hard to colour a piece of white fondant to black.... -_- i kneaded and kept adding black colouring on the fondant for a good 15 minutes... not to mention it stains ur hands too *&@^@%#$@$^*

I know there r black fondant available but i dunno where to get it! & even if i can find it, i don't think i can afford to buy since it'll be expensive :p

Anywayz, hope both the deco & the cake will turn out great. I love working with fondant :) Will post pics after i've finished assembling & decorating. Be patient for now :p

I was reading posts from my old blog & realised how silly & immature i was few years back. Always complaining bout the smallest problem and blogging out all that i felt. Wow, i've grown so much. I no longer like blogging about my deepest thoughts, and about my frustrations and anger. I rather keep things in my head & think to myself & solve problems in there. No point rite writing everything here & accidentally piss ppl off? Or haf ppl say that im such a emo person. Oh well, wat ever it is, problems no longer bother me as much as they do the last time. Im looking at things with an open mind nowdays, no matter wat it is :) maybe it's time for a change, maybe it's not, only time will tell.
