A cake for a freelance photographer

Salam & Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed . Get the latest post delivered to your email. Thank you :)

A very lovely girl, Hanim emailed me requesting a cake with a camera for her birthday man. I was quite hesitant to accept, not knowing if I would be able to make the camera, Nikon D300 to be specific. In the end, I accepted. There’s always a first time for everything. You’ll never know if you don’t try, right ?

So, after a few laborious hours, and one rejected camera, this is the final product. Written on top of the cake – “Grow up, Ben !” .

All in all, it was not very difficult to make. The first camera was rejected by my Sirim guy (hubby) who said the shape look more like an old compact camera. So, I guess the one below should look like a digital one. The only thing which is a bit tricky is to ensure the lense doesn’t drop. So I had to use some tooth pick to support the lense portion. Hope the birthday boy doesn’t bite into the lense . I’ve already reminded them on this, don’t worry.

I made extras for the cake (chocolate cake with ganache.. yummy!), I think I’ll have a bite now, with some hot coffee.. Thanks for reading, and thanks again Hanim for the order .

Salam,
