Yes, I've been slacking on updating my cake blog. Sorry. I just always put it off, and put it off, and then put it off some more. So here, I finally uploading pics of the cakes I made in the past month or so. You ready?First one here, a SUPERMOM birthday cake. I was provided with the image, well the top half anyway, and he asked me to add the legs, make the cake in the shape of the image,

Hi, I keep forgetting to post this over the weekend. So much on my mind this time of the year. Putting up Christmas decoration, gifts, parties, and gifts...... Anyway, this is a Thanksgiving cake I made with a theme of fallen leaves. I didn't want to make a turkey. heeehee.... Made wooden planks out of gumpaste ahead of time and let them dry, then wrapped them around the cake to make it

A cake for a surprise baby shower for my friend. The organizer wants a stork and pink on the cake, so this is what I came up with. I think it turned out to be very girly and pretty. I like it.The stork on top is based on an image I found online. And then I debated what other decorations to put on the top tier..... ended up with a cascading pink flowers.I made the lace on the bottom tier with

Ha, I wonder how many of you would cut a slice of this cake and eat it!? My friend threw a surprise party for her husband yesterday and this is the cake she requested. Yup, I had to put together a toilet cake, with the poo and all. It's hilarious! Well, he sure was surprised and the cake made his day. hahaa....Toilet bowl and water tank are cake, plunger is cake. Toilet paper is fondant, seat

Made a Sesame Street cake plus cupcakes for a little girl's 2nd birthday. Mom requested straight frosting for the cake, so I did. It's such a different look compared to fondant, which is all I've been doing lately. I was freaking out about how smoothness of the frosting because it won't be covered up by fondant. So I worked and worked and worked on it to get it to the smoothest I could but

First cake was made for a retirement. They wanted a star shaped cake with lots of bling. I didn't want it to look too busy so here's the end result. They loved it and told me that they ate the entire cake, some even had 3 pieces. That's one of the best compliments I can get, that people eat all the cake coz it's good. =)I made the star shape with 2 round cakes.Second is for a baby shower.

I've always wanted to try to make one of those cool topsy-turvy cake, the ones that look like the tiers can fall over any minute. Finally someone asked for one.A friend's daughter, who's turning 12, knew exactly what she wanted. She found a picture online, printed it out, pointed out what colors she wanted, what areas needed to be changed into something else, etc. For my 12-year-old birthday

Hello, quite a busy week it was. I made 2 cakes and a half this week. The half cake is a little one that I made for Alex to take in to nursery for his birthday. It was just something very simple since I didn't think a bunch of 2-year-olds would care too much about how it looks.Then I had a double birthday cakes order on Saturday. One Scooby Doo and one colorful lizard. The Scooby Doo one

Can't believe my son is 2 already!! Time has gone by fast this year. For his birthday, I made him 2 trains, Wilson (the red one) and Brewster (the blue one) from the Chuggington cartoon. I planned on making all three of the main character trains, but it was 4:30 in the morning by the time I finished the two trains, so I decided not to finish the third train (Koko) and went grab a couple hours

Made for a friend's anniversary. I asked her if she wants elegant or cute; she picked elegant. I thought of a few different designs and at the end decided on this black and white theme. It looked simple but it took me hours to put those black embroidery designs on.

Hello there, sorry I haven't been posting my latest creations. Things have been kind of crazy and my brain is all over the place with everything that's going on. Then you know how it is, once you put off a task, it just keeps getting put off day after day. So today, I finally said, OK, it's time to work on my cake blog.I made two cakes since last blog. The first one is just a simple one for

This one, at first he wanted me to make the cake looks like a Porsche SUV but I didn't know how real I can make it look, so we decided on making just the emblem. His girlfriend loved it. She actually wanted to freeze the cake and asked him to go get a little cake from a store because she didn't want to cut the cake. It's pretty funny.

The day after I finished the AF cake, I made this baby shower cake. Oh what a busy week that was!! I had made the bow during the week, love the two-tone effect. The decoration of the cake wasn't too difficult but I hated frosting the cake itself. I am never very good at frosting square cake, this one was no exception. Good thing it's covered with fondant so it's not too noticeable. I don't

Hi, this is my first big order ever. It's for the SNCO induction banquet on base. SNCO are the three highest enlisted ranks. Usually for events like this they would have a big giant sheet cake, but I thought that's boring, hence I decided to make three cupcake towers with different flavors to go with the three ranks. One is vanilla, one is chocolate and one is red velvet.I think I baked for a

Hello, I hope everybody is having a nice weekend. I made 2 cakes this past week. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for them coz we went to a week-long Spain holiday. The first cake was for my son's friend who's turning two. I knew I wanted to make a crown for the top but was running back and forth between ideas on how to decorate the cake itself. In the end I decided on putting

Hello, I had full freedom on this cake. She told me she likes pink and it's her 25th birthday, just make something cute. I like this kind of order where I get to do whatever I want. I tried not to go nuts on it. =) I've seen the bubble border online and wanted to try it. The effect I am going for is having different sizes of pearls bordering the cake. What do you think? I really like how

This cake was done for my nephew's baptism about 2 weeks ago, but I was in the states on vacation so am just now posting it.We went to the states to visit families and attend our new nephew's baptism. My precious sister-in-law asked me months ago to make a Noah's Ark cake for the baptism. Of course she would want me to make something that requires lots of modeling. (heehee... love you, Sarah)

Made Roary the Racing Car (a British cartoon) for a friend. Her husband is turning 40 and he loves racing. This one is a bit more difficult to shape than Lightning McQueen. All parts are cake, even the tires. I hate making red fondant coz it takes a whole jar of coloring paste to get it red enough.Decorating cakes make me fat because I always eat the scraps or junk food to keep me going in

Got a last minute order on Tuesday night from a guy wanting a cake for her daughter on Sunday. He said she wanted a Hi-5 cake, which apparently Hi-5 is a kid tv show, didn't know that. I looked up the logo and thought it was easy enough to make and told him okay. It's just a hand-shaped cake with Hi-5 on it, very minimal decorations.I carved the hand out of a 2-layer 8" round cake. Didn't

Hello, here's my first attempt of a 3-D Lightning McQueen. It's for a little boy who's turning 5. I was hoping that it wouldn't turn out looking like a boat. Not too bad for a first timer I guess, but it took me a while trying to get the cake into a car shape. I am not very good at carving cake yet, you see. Good thing the mother lent me a big Lightning McQueen toy car as a model, which

Ok, so some have asked me to post my cake pictures online at one spot so people can check them out. I've always thought that I am just an amateur and that my cakes are not worthy of a website. Besides, I really don't make that many cakes. It will be the slowest and most boring blog ever. Then I thought, oh well, maybe this will be the easiest way to showcase my amateur cakes. So here goes...
