Vintage wafer paper rose cake

Always love making sugar flowers for weddings. The realness of the sugar flowers and the texture is something that I love.

This is my first time making a rose out of wafer paper. I always find it interesting how you can bend the wafer paper and give it a tin of colour to reflex the realness of the flower.

So blessed to be able to take this new skill of mine to be display of a first birthday cake.

This cake is a two tier white chocolate mudcake.
Is a simple elegant t cake.

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.

Defying Gravity Birthday cake

It's time to try....Defying gravity
I think I'll try...Defying gravity   And you can't pull me down!.....( Wicked - Defying Gravity Lyrics)

When I think of the word defying gravity, I start singing the song form Wicked the musical.
As per usual, I always make my own birthday cake. Can't wait till one day when I be surprise, when one of my kids will make me a cake.

This cake is not a very big cake. As most of my friends know there is too much cakes in the house. I don't blame the family for not wanting to eat more cakes.

I was thinking of making something small but say alot about me. I love having my oats for breakfast every morning and what better thing to do to make it to a cake.so I decided this year for my birthday cake the defying gravity theme. This cake is a small cake with white chocolate ganach.

Romatic three tiers wedding cake

Romantic 3 tiers cake with handmade sugar roses.
Had so much fun making these roses. This cake is a vanilla Victorian sponge covered with white chocolate ganache.

It was so difficult to deliver this cake in a very wet afternoon. I was abit disappointing when I delivered this cake as there is a few specks of rain drops on the cake. I really hope the bride and groom like the cake and no one notice those tiny specks of rain drops on the cake.
