Joker's Getting Married

This is sort of my FIRST "Male" customer. Not just any male customer but the groom himself! Salute to the bride for allowing and trusting the fiancĂ© to choose a wedding cake and deciding on most details independantly. Either that, or, she had drummed all the details into his head before sending him to run errands. =)  Many girls would wish their fiancĂ© can be so involved in wedding planning.
Sing Huat is known to be a 'Joker' amongst his friends, mainly because he can crack a joke at every thing he sees and at anytime of the day. Also, the big wide smile is practically a fixed feature on his face and I hardly see him going around without a big smile.

For his wedding cake, he chose "Apple Green" and "White Calla Lilies".
The final product. My first attempt with "apple green" color.

Using damask technique, I covered the surface with icing.

Well done, Groom!

Congrats to Sing Huat and Cheryl~
May you both always be as cheerful, sweet and happy as the color apple green!

Bejewelled Wedding

Thanks to word of mouth and Facebook, an acquiantance from far away Canada saw my creations and wanted one for her wedding! Well of course I didnt have to deliver the cake all the way to Canada, but she will be back in Sitiawan to host her wedding ceremony. 

Au Yong Li Ping's wedding was held on 20.11.2011, a very very auspicious date! In fact, this is one of the 2 wedding cakes that I had to make for this very date. Li Ping's wedding is a luncheon and the other one is a dinner but it didn't make much of a difference as both cakes had to be ready promptly. It was a challenge indeed and I'm glad I managed it well :-)

I was delighted when Li Ping told me I'm free to design her wedding cake! She gave me a few details such as cake flavor, size, and the rest is all up to me! BIG SMILE.

I decided to try something new and pretty unique to even the cake industry in Malaysia.  I ordered silicon molds from the US and started making buttons, brooches, jewels, and gem stones. 


The main cake was styled with a big red rose and beaded with vintage brooches and gem stones.  Cupcakes were adorned with pearls and red baby roses.


It is not the typical wedding cake that you can expect decorated with just flowers. I'm not sure if many can appreciate the uniqueness of this creation but I'm glad I tried something new.
