When Christy told me her friend wants a wedding cake, I started sweating. When I found out who her friend was, I couldn't sleep for days. Bangsar Babe is coming to town and she wants to meet me! I'm an amateur sugar artist and I don't even have a name card!
It was during Chinese New Year 2011, I got dressed while reminding hubby that he has to babysit our little boy so I can go out and meet Sue Lynn, popularly known as the Bangsar Babe, the food blogger who has appearances in the media.
What if I cannot meet her expectation? She must have high expectation since she's a food blogger. What if she doesn't like my designs? What if she wants something complicated and I don't know how to do it? Oh no, I can't even speak proper English its embarrassing! Hundreds of questions running through my head as I was walking towards Christy where she introduced me to Sue Lynn.
What a relief after meeting her in person.... A beauty pageant but yet so down to earth. We chatted a lil and she tells me her dad's actually from Sitiawan too, small world~ Sue Lynn wants a cake for her ROM ceremony and it's in October which is good news, as it means there's alot of time for me to practice. To my surprise, instead of a tall cake with 100 flowers on it, all Sue Lynn wants was a small wedding cake with the simplest design, but classy of course. Of all the flowers I showed her, she loves my anemone flower. However, the most difficult request was to have a "bride & groom" cake topper.
My specialty is in making sugar flowers and I have zero idea on making human figurines... *cold sweat* again.. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I gave it a try and here it is, after 9 months... The final product...
Sue Lynn ;-)
The ceremony was oh-so beautiful.... CLASSY is all I can say for the decorations and layout.
Sue Lynn looked absolutely stunning in a gold/champagne dress and I can just see how much Wei Jien adores her at the way he looked at her...
Guess who I met at the ceremony?! Sue Lynn kept telling me that I'll be meeting some very special people at her ceremony and she wasn't going to tell me who it was.She made sure I got my namecards done (finally). True enough, they were very special people indeed! It was Allan and Nigel, from Just Heavenly!!=)) They actually liked and complimented my cake! They were so friendly and generous in giving me a few tips and advise about the cake making business. Am so grateful!
This is me, giddy with happiness..
Thank you, Christy... You know why...And thank you Sue Lynn for giving me the most memorable experience i had for the year of 2011...
