A dear friend wanted me to make a car topper for her son's 6th birthday cake. Not ANY car, but a SUBARU IMPREZA WRX WRC 2005. *sweat* But still, I rose to the challenge... :P
Here's how it looked like on the yummilicious cake my friend baked.

Hi, I'm catching up on some R&R (Reading and Relaxing)
*Meow*.. can I sit on your lap?
The back of the seat. Wanted to capture the kind of seats that my friend has at home. The holes at the back reminds me of the wooden seats I used to have at home.
A for Amanda :)This was ordered for a special someone who's really into the share market and finances. My task was to create something fun with it. Yikes!
So I thought... and I thought.. and I thought some more... Eureka! Bull vs Bear. But of course with cuter representations.
So let's see... imagine a bull and a bear, in a mud pit (since it was chocolate cake that was ordered). That means I can muck up the Chocolate Ganache (read : Not super smooth) hehehe Oh evil little me!
The side of the cake is coated with dessicated coconut
Yay! I win, said the bull
Ow! Ow! Get'off my back!, yelled the bear“Only an Aunt can give hugs like a mother, can keep secrets like a sister,
and share love like a friend.”~ Spanish Proverb
Aunty Irene turns 70 this year. She's the sweetest aunt anyone could ask for. She's actually my husband's aunt (so I guess I am related to her now by marriage hehe).
She sends cards (yes, physical cards via snail mail) just to say thanks, or just to drop a note to say hi.
Her daughters (B&B), decided to do something special for her this year. See, Aunty Irene is part of a nearly '8 is enough' family. She has 2 brothers (my Father In Law inclusive) and 4 sisters. The thing is, all her sisters got married to non-Malaysians and are scattered across Australia, Italy and France.
This year.. the WHOLE gang decided to get together to SURPRISE her. It took B&B nearly 1 year to get all the logistics. I of course offered what I think I can do best.... the cake :)
I wanted the cake to be special (just like Aunty Irene) and just as sweet. So this is what I came up with.
The top layer was Chocolate butter cake with chocolate cream. The bottom layer, Lemon butter cake with lemon curd filling. The whole presentation was covered with fondant with royal icing flowers.
I am so glad that the cake was a hit! An uncle from Australia who's NOT a cake person came up to me and told me he LOVED the lemon cake. *phew*
Happy Birthday Aunty Irene :)
My cousin turned 6 last weekend. Instead of cracking my head for a gift.. I offered to bake a cake (naturally). Her request was .... a pink castle, with lots of flowers..
Immediate thought.. should I have just cracked my head for a gift? HAHAHAHA..
Anyway, I must admit I was excited of the challenge. Or maybe it was the little girl in me who got excited.. :)
Turning 21 is such a special time, and a WONDERFUL excuse to have an extra special cake. The first 21st birthday cake I made was in May. This time, I received an order from the same family, for ANOTHER 21st birthday cake :)
The cake's for a girl named Susha, who loves the color white. Loves ribbons. Loves cute things. Loves flowers.
When I heard that, I thought "This'll be a snap!"... boy was I wrong... I spent nearly a whole week thinking of how I'll incorporate all those onto a cake. *bites nails*... I hope I managed to... why don't you tell me?
Can I offer you a flower?

All packed up and ready to go :)

You're my cuppycake,
You're the apple of my eye.
And I love you so,And I love to bake these cupcakes for you
Because you are so dear :)

I've been told that I have a unique sense of humour. I hope that's usually meant as a compliment. :) However, as they say, birds of a feather flocks together. Friend's that I'm closer with are usually also like minded (humour wise).
Take for example today... a couple of us (S, J and I) decided to celebrate H's birthday. I naturally volunteered to make him a cake. Seeing that H is a 'him', I suggested a boob cake. Apparently that's not funny enough... so S came up with the idea of the following cake...
Handcuffs were my idea.. heheh... to erm.. enhance certain role play LOL
Grrr... happy birthday!Hope H likes it.
Cake : Basic Butter Cake
Filling : Basic Butter Cream with a hint of Tia Maria
Deco : Marshmallow fondant
Migrating to a different country, I feel, takes a lot of courage. I don't think I would be able to do it. I'ld miss my family too much :P
Maybe that's why a friend of mine ordered a cake all the way from NZ. It's specially for her dad who's here in M'sia. Since, her daughter has become the apple of everyone's eyes :), she's naturally the topper inspiration.

The cake is done, iced, and the topper has found its home :)
Delivery is set for today, and I hope my friend's grandpa likes it...
Was asked to write the greeting in Chinese... and I'm a banana*!... So I hope it's readable.. (though the last character is so ugly :( )
A friend was under the weather and out for a week. I thought of cheering her up a little, with ..... a little naughty cake *wink*
Like my abs?
Having a splashing time in the pool!
Splash!
Splash!A friend's grandpa would be celebrating is 83rd birthday this coming weekend. Her wish was to have a cake to commemorate the day and also be personalised to her beloved grandpa.
She said her grandpa loves the grandchildren; and he has 2; a girl and a boy.
That became the inspiration for the cake topper.

The topper's now left to harden. Cake will be made later in the week :)
