Celebrating 150 year OMF international cake

What a blessing to be asked to make a celebration cake marking 150 of OMF international.

OMF International (formerly the China Inland Mission and Overseas Missionary Fellowship), founded by James Hudson Taylor in 1865. OMF serve the church and bring the gospel to many of the countries in East Asia, and  have a pioneering ministry in the rest.

I have know so many OMF missionary that have serve in countries like Taiwan, Japan, and Malaysia.
So to be asked to make this cake is a really honor.

This cake is a chocolate cake with Swiss meringue butter cream with chocolate ganache.
The decoration is really simple with the OMF logo and also small logos of countries that OMF serve in.

The photo of the cake is not too good as I only take it with my phone.

Simple and elegent turtle couple wedding cake

What a blessing to be asked by V and J to make their wedding cake.
I have know this couple since they were very young. Thinking about it, it really makes me old.

I used to see V at the train station catching the train to school on my way to work and J when he was running around his older brother at church. From memory I remember him as a young boy in grade 6.

Both V and J wanted a Red Velvet cake with cream cheese filling for their cake.
I thank God that is currently winter. The last time I dealt with red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting was in January when it was around 38 degrees celsius and it was the worst. Trying to cover a cake with a cream cheese frosting with fondant is just hard.

The topper of the cake is a bride and groom turtle all handmade from sugar.
