Peter Rabbit birthday cake

My friend requested a birthday cake for her daughter’s 1st birthday.

She wanted a Peter Rabbit figurine and a girl’s figurine on top of the cake. I tried to copy Evangeline’s hair style on the girl figurine.

 

6” red velvet cake sandwich with meringue buttercream and coated with chocolate ganache

   

She wants the words “Evangeline’s 1st” on the side of the cake. I decided to try out using fondant to write the words instead of emboss them. No piping involve, purely free hands. It took quite a while to do that but I am quite happy with the result.

Happy 1st birthday Evangeline!! May the Lord continue to bless you each day as you grow!

Happy birthday Sue

Our best mate’s birthday coming up, we had an early celebration for her during the weekend. As usual, I will make some birthday cuppies, baked the cake a day before (rich and moist Red Velvet cupcakes) and though of taking my time to do the figures and deco. However thing did not turn out as I wish. I got a last minute project to do during the weekend, hence, I had to do the cupcake decoration and figures on the morning of the celebration and I only have 2 hours time to do all these!!!

Due to limited time, I came out very plain and rough deco. Sorry Sue!!! I know I could do much better for your birthday cuppies :(

3 of Sue’s favourite stuffs…….

Guitar Hero…ROCK ON!

  

Wii…(a bit out of shape :( )

 

Sue’s Dell XPS laptop (the laptop collapse and it is out of shape..sniff sniff)

Since I have no time to do Sue’s favourite SLR, so I decide to do a cute face of Sue with her SLR (inspired by Delectable). This is the most satisfying piece I have done.

Sue with her cute face cuppies. She tried to look like the face..hahaha

Ok, ready to eat her “face”!! Here it goes…..

Ounch!! It hurts!

Happy birthday Sue, may you have a blessed year ahead and a wonderful day!

Bob the builder

I have been asked by a friend to help her do some figures for her cake’s topping. After some consideration, I decided to take up the offer. I reckon it is a good way to practice my modelling skill. Also I have decided to do customised figures for customers as well :D Yes, if you just want a customised figure without a cake, I will do it!
I was asked to do Bob the builder with his cat.
Here’s the final products
Bob the builder I can fix it!!

I hope you like the figures Caroline!

1st Wedding Figures

One of me and my hubby’s close friends getting married. When I know that she didn’t have any wedding figures on top of her wedding cake, I offered to make her one as a gift.
She is an Arsenal fan and her husband is a Liverpool fan. So I decided to make a couple figure with the bride wearing an Arsenal scarf and the groom wearing Liverpool jersey.
I did two version of the couples. This is the first version: Bride’s face too square, groom’s leg is unstable and at the end fall apart. So I have to redo the 2nd one.
This is the final product.
 
Hubby suggested me to do the figure with the groom sitting instead, a hilarious way to portrait the extreme height of the couple.
The look from the back. Yes, number 8 is the groom’s favourite player!
I am so glad that Simon & Liza love this couple figures. They put the figures on top of their top cutting cake during the wedding.
However, I was told by Liza that the hotel accidently broke the figures when they clean up the place!! They were very upset and wanted me to redo one set for them to keep. I will try my best to do a better couple figures for you guys soon!
Congratulation Simon & Liza!!! May you have a wonderful journey together as a married couple!
