One of Ai Lin's fren's bday was just ystday. She was sweet enuff to let me do her fren's bday cake for her :) Was rather stressed out as i didnt really know how to decorate the cake, & i rarely work wif buttercream as icing.. normally i will use fondant as it's more stable in our malaysian weather. As it was a cheese cake underneath & it needs to be in the fridge, i cant use fondant.. -_- Fondant cannot be kept in the fridge!! It will "sweat" lol meaning it will be wet & sticky la.. :P
First it was decided to be a round 8 inch baked cheese cake with a hula girl ontop, but changed my mind, & told ailin a 2 tiered cake wif the hula girl ontop will look better. & here's the results, & glad that the bday girl liked it :)
The result of the stacked cakes, which i was quite happy wif :) As i couldnt stack the cakes at home, i didnt know how it will look. Cos each cake by itself looked rather plain..... :P i know i complain alot, bear wif me, i like my cakes perfect :P
I really liked how the hula girl turned out! the small flowers r oh-so-cute on her skirt!!! But i think the skirt will look better if each strip of green was thinner, it will look more realistic :P
She even had flowers on her hair!!!! :P This was last minute cos i was worried the flowers wouldnt stick.
Happy Bday Shooks! & it was a challenge since it was my FIRST time writing a birthday msg on the SIDE of a cake... -__- glad it turned out good. Had fun doing the cake, thanx ailin once again :)
I am bloody exausted cos i've been baking pineapple tarts from 2pm til 10pm at nite........... -__-
BUT, tomorrow is the first class of my PME sugarpaste course :D Happy happy joy joy. I'll graduate wif a diploma :) Will post pics on wat i did in class in the next post ;)
Stay tuned!
