Baking Project

This is a cake made for a relative’s engagement day tomorrow in Ipoh, Perak. No specific design was requested, so I was free to play around. The fabric effect was inspired by a cake I saw in a book by Kerry Vincent.

To tell the truth, I don’t really like how the cake turn out.. I think it looks heavy and a bit crowded (over sudahhh…) Probably the design would look better on a bigger cake. Nevertheless, my hubby and family insist that it looks fine.. perhaps just to shut me up, coz I kept asking, it is ok ? Does it look alright ?

Here’s the folding technique that I so wanted to try, in the end the middle looks kinda empty. So I put a small ribbon just to bring it all together.

Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you wanted them to be.. in this case, I shall not ponder too long and scrutinize every aspect of this cake. I tell myself, just move on and stop worrying. Good nite, everyone . Thanks for looking.

I love making this cake, although all in all I think it took me about 7 hours to decorate it. My back and hand is aching, but I am happy with the result. Thanks Ruby for the order. Hope the cake will make it safely back to Kota Kinabalu. The colour theme is purple and white, with flowers and butterflies.

I use the PME creative plaque embossing cutter to create the ribbon on top of the top tier.

The cake board was covered with a strip of fondant, pattern done with an embossed roller. The ribbon was embossed using the usual heart shape cutter.

If you have any questions, just shoot (off to doing laundry and cleaning the house now.. ). Ta-ra !
