One Year Old Birthday Cake

Somehow a lot of customers are celebrating One year old birthday for their kids this year. This one she requested a birthday cake that shaped into number One and has racing cars on top of it. She wanted me to use my Swiss Meringue Buttercream for the frosting but do the racing cars in fondants. And naturally whenever there are many kids at a birthday party, chocolate cake is the number one choice. So I did my Devil Food Cake.... moist, heavy, not overly sweet and packed with chocolate flavor.

Below is the cake I did for her little son.

Teddy Bear Cake

I love a good challenge as it gives me a good practice of creating new cakes and I get paid to do it too. I always encourage my customers to give me interesting cake orders. So on the 29th December 2012, I made a Teddy Bear fondant cake for a One year old birthday girl and this was the first time for me. It was fun and exciting to make. The best part is I discovered some basic problems of how to work with fondant and how to properly and safely transport fondant cake to the customers. Since Malaysia's weather is so hot, humid and raining all the times, fondants are so sensitive to all these and air conditioned room is such an important factor in order to keep the cake and the fondant from melting, sweating and fell apart.

Below was my first time Teddy Bear Cake made from Fondant and I used Devil Food Cake on the inside. Kids love a really good chocolate cake.

Wedding Cake in Graphic Cutout Hydrangeas

A customer requested a simple square cake with a bow but then change his mind for a more elaborate design and requested me to put a silk-flower on top of his cake. And i was like...huh? what? Silkflowers? Oh no no no! That cake will have my name stamped on it and I will not associate my own cake with silkflowers. So I told him nicely and presented my ideas and he and his wife loved it.

Since he wanted the inside cake to be Devil Food cake so I covered the cake with Pattince Chocolate Fondants that taste really yummy too. Below is the cake.....
