Frangipani flower and cake

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I was leafing through my cake decorating book and saw this beautiful frangipani flowers (kemboja). Tried doing it last night, the gumpaste flowers were left to dry in egg cartons on top of my fridge. Somehow, I find this method always speed up the drying of the flowers. By today, the frangipanis are quite hard. So, this is the cake I came out with :

The gumpaste flowers, to me, doesn’t really look real. I tried to make a blooming frangipani, but it was quite difficult as the base of the petal is too thin and breaks easily. So I guess I’ll have to stick to not-so-blooming kemboja.

For the cake, I use two layers of fondant. Then I make the swag. You can learn how to make the swag (yang macam langsir tu..) from cakecentral.com. Add the tiny pearls at the base of the cake. Lastly, I arrange the flowers and leaves. I’ll do a post on how to make the frangipani later, ok. For the shiny look, I squeeze a few drops of lemon juice, added my pearl dust and painted the swags and the red pearly thingy.

I guess that’s it. My swags and ribbon do need some improvement. But I’m quite happy with the results :) .

Bye for now,


p/s : 13/5/08 – I found a good tutorial on how to make the frangipanis. Click here.

Salam kak min. berminat nak tahu kt mana boleh survey harga mesin tu edible image tu. since my wife x kejer, dia boleh wat jualan cupcake. thanks.

Yasmin says:

salam dik, printer tu would be ratus-ratus and campur accesories mungkin seribu lebih. Yes cheaper to order as needed. Melainkan adik nak buat bisness jual edible image. Tq.

rizqin says:

Salam, kak min…just nak tanya ur opinion, is it cheaper to have own edible image printer atau purchase sekeping2 kat kedai je?
if cheaper buying the printer, kat mana saya nak dapat printer tu ye?thanks

Fabmom, lama tak dengar cerita..mesti masih euphoria dari balik holiday ni.

Kak Tun, itu la pasal kena join class saya. Utk kek fondant, ada yg pakai marzipan first layer, 2nd layer fondant. Boleh jugak buat 2 layer fondant. Kalau selapis je kak, kek nye tak cantik, masih nampak bersegi dan permukaannya tak licin..

boxhousestudio says:

2 layers of fondant?..emm..err…leh explain…he he

yang pasti kek min ni memikat..dengan pearl merah berkilat tu…dengan kuak ropol tu ..riben tu..dengan bunga kemboja..sedap mata memandang
