Manchester United

Hey guys!



New cake again. This time it was a challenging one. My heart nearly skipped a beat for this one.
Its a Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Covered with Red Fondant and A Royal Icing Manchester United Crest.


I haven't and WILL never be a Football fan. (Cos I don't really get it) But I LOVE this challenge of replicating the crest on this cake. This cake was for someone's birthday. I really tried my best on the crest though those DIE HARD football fans may be able to spot MANY flaws while scrutinizing it but I guess It was not bad for a first timer. Now that I've done it. I know how Royal Icing Works. Its taxing and tough but Its worth it. Its like therapy for me. Calms me down after the exams. :)


The feedback for it was it looked Fabulous and tasted Good too! :) Thanks Jillian for giving me this opportunity.

HERE's the cake!



See more in the Gallery!

New Element

I've been thinking to myself, for the past few days. How much I have grown through baking.


Last time I didn't even know how to make a cake batter. Never even made a simple banana cake. Serious. I've been constantly wanting to improve myself.


My birthday's coming up! and I'm going to be 22. DREAD DREAD DREAD. And you know what? I'm going to bake myself a cake. YES. bake my own birthday cake. I'm gonna use this chance to conquer another phase of my pastry life. Entrements. YES. My ultimate goal. I LOVE TO EAT entrements and alwasy wondered why it is SO expensive for A slice. I realised it really alot of work. You have to chill it for every layer for at least 2 to 3 hours. and EVERY layer has to be LEVELED. Imagine the details and intricate results that you have to produce. And yes I'm fussy about it cos I'm A perfectionist in my work. I strive to make it the best.


SO. I'm out to conquer Entrements. When I do.. I'll be posting it. LOOK OUT!

Oreo Cupcakes

I have bad news.


The pick up for the Chanel cakes was in such a rush I couldn't pipe my red V's for her order. I had to SPREAD. HORROR! Lucky she's a friend and she didn't mind. AND.... I forgot to take photos of it.. Sorrrrryyyy :( It look just like the Chanel in the Gallery just not with the rose.. With PINK DAISIES! But I took the Oreo!


Professionally I'll have to ask you to wait for at least half hour to get the cream cheese to the right consistency AND I'M DETERMINED TO PIPE ALL OF MY CUPCAKES NO SPREADING!!. except the Banana cupcake HEH.


The Oreo cupcakes WERE WONDERFUL. they look really good! I couldn't stop tasting the buttercream.. (with a clean spoon of course, no finger dippin'). Wanna see wanna see???






YUP! Delish right?
