*Let'sSalsa!*

I decided to make something colourful yet classy for a girlfriend of mine who has the biggest heart ever.

She LOVES salsa! So I made her a sexy Latino Mysteryman and added the lyrics from Shakirah's hit "Hips don't lie" as she can shake it like nobody else...

we had a blast babe...thanks!

Tip: To make the frills on the skirt roll a cocktail stick on a thin strip of fondant to create that fluidity
A life size fondant masquerade mask with pink feathers for her :)

H&S

This was my very first cake assembly..... transporting this cake was a feat! The bottom tier was a vanilla buttercake and the rest were dummies all covered in fondant.
The beautiful bride had full reign on the cake, her soon-to-be husband only stressed that whole cake shouldn't pink so I added more lavender and white to fit into the elaborately decorated ballroom...
She requested different designs for each tier and lots &lots of cupcakes.... 400 all together

The idea on paper

Doorgifts...
Hand painted monogram and a butterly on a printed floral base

Placed in beautiful personalised boxes by the bride.

I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat!

When I received this order, from the sweetest person ever ~:) for her adorable one year old.... I never thought I'd be sculpting Tweety's face at 3am! The little bird looks easy on paper but I had to re-do it a few times till I was satisfied.....

Tweety perched on a swing which is hanging off a vine creeping up the no.1

All time favourites... Mr.& Mrs. Mouse

Pluto...

Tip: just paint little white dots to their eyes and they'll twinkle.

These were given to her guests. Two large cupcakes fit nicely in this dragonfly & hearts box

Happy "Bed" Day!

I received an email with a very cute request.... you see her dad LOVES his bed and does almost everything on it! So I made a miniature bedset as per the picture she sent me... including headboard, side table and lamp... with the no.66...

Having a cup of coffee with all his paper work next to his silver briefcase...

...and of course, breakfast in bed.

Roti canai anyone? fish curry or dhal?

Rock on!

I had this idea for a Rocker cake a while back but was inspired by the darker haired one Adam who sang the 'Ring of Fire' on American Idol. I thought his version was+magnetic-! I was glued to the screen watching him sing that! and I am not even much of a rock fan.... ~haha~ so he must be really good....

Small details like the flames on the number make each cake unique...

Barbie turns 50!

If only we could all be like Barbie..... she tunrs 50 but looks younger by the day!?!

But then again a few wrinkles don't hurt, in fact it adds character to one's full life...

I wanted to do the 'different faces' of Barbie to showcase her beautiful transformation throughout the years but unfortunately the clients were not allowed to consume any products with Barbie (face/figurines) on it... so with the help of the website, decided to do her accessories and logo in cute colours.

The Storyteller

For a beautiful & stylish professional storyteller from Singapore who has more than 500 books in her collection and appreciates the finer things in life .... and of course her mic.

Chanel clutch and black rose....

She can't live without her blackberry and cappucino (+ lipstick smudge) and added other little details like her glasses, shoes and long red nails.

Listening intently.....

These are some of her favourite titles... and shoes, shoes, shoes.....

And the finale... *eh where did that baby come from?*

Kamini has 2 handsome sons but loves little girls so a chubby little baby girl was placed on her arm once the cake was presented to her.... a thoughtful idea by her equally gorgeous sister-in-law....

Work that Body!

For a gym freak who has...*ummmm* assets to die for... 

Specifically ordered by a bunch of her girlfriends. That's what friends are for..... to share the laughter, tears & PARTY! .... but most importantly chauffeur the kids around :)

Dumbells, sneakers, gym outfits, jump rope, water bottle on regular cupcakes

Tip: use a silver painted toothpick to secure the weights on the dumbell....

      

To Jenny with love

Sally made this order all the way from USA....what a loving and thoughtful sister! She had wonderful things to say about Jenny and so incorporated all of her favourite people & things on the little cupcakes like her sons and grand-daughter, designer handbags and shoes, an apron, timber as she runs a logging company and longevity peaches. She is 55 but doesn't look a day over 30! The figurine represents her singing (she loves karaoke) in a glamorous evening gown ...

~that's the beauty of fondant, you can be your own fashion designer extraordinaire~

*my other dream job*

I'm just discovering all these awesome gadgets available for cake decorating... Life has become much easier as well as more fun as I can finally achieve so much more... like intricate details with textures, shapes and contours. For example, the hem of her black gown was made with a lace cutter which cuts the shape and imprints the design of the lace, then I used different nozzle holes to cut and make the lace look even more detailed.

Liverpool FC

I am NO football fan, now more of a cricket fan (!) but I think the Liverpool FC logo is cool...much more difficult than I anticipated especially trying to get the hand painted 'bird' right. I also liked how the fire turned out moulded with fondant for a livelier look.

Ryan's favourites are Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres so added their names on the FC scarf for a finishing touch.
