Wedding Cake and Cupcakes - Fresh Red Roses Cutting Cake and Red Velvet Cupcakes

Didn't get great pictures. Sorry guys.

So this was the wedding cake and cupcakes for the Port Dickson's wedding. The bride was easy to deal with. I hope she liked the cake. Anyway, the cutting cake was red velvet as well as the cupcakes. Bought the fresh roses the night before the delivery in a panic time-constrained situation. The cupcake tower was made with polystyrene and covered with gold crepe paper since the theme was maroon and gold.

The guests received individually transparent boxed cupcakes with choices of vanilla or red velvet. I was baking and decorating and packaging the cakes all by myself. A very labor intensive work but worth the effort. So if you guys would like to order something like this, please order months in advance so that I can prepare materials in calm and orderly manner :)

Honda HSV-010 GT Model (Gumpaste Car) - So We tried

Last week one customer emailed me to order a car themed cake for her boyfriend's birthday. It was a very last minute order. Usually I don't do last minute order, but hate to disappoint her since  she was ditched  by another baker. As the saying goes, one man trash is another man treasure..erk not sure if that applied here but you got the idea. So 22 emails later, we agreed on the design. Here is the full view of the final result.

I was trying to make a gumpaste car using pictures from JONSIBAL blog. It's a Honda. But lack of tools meant lack of details. So instead of looking very sporty and stylish, it looks cute. ;P Oh and don't forget the cake. It was 10" rich dark chocolate cake filled and covered with creamy chocolate ganache and sprinkles with chocolate rice. Cute cakes mean nothing if it taste awful. I was happy to receive a text from the customer and I quote "Thanks for d cake! It's delicious! Everyone loved it! Thanks! ;)"

Gold & Red Hantaran(Wedding) Cake

It's been a while since the last post. And yes we're still here. This was our latest project, a gold and red themed hantaran(wedding) cake. The cake was red velvet filled and crumb-coated with cream cheese frosting. I don't exactly know how to describe the taste. So, for those who does not know what a red velvet cake is, here is the wiki definition. A great recipe from marthastewart.com is also available here. The cake was covered with fondant and decorated with fondant ribbon. This is actually our first try to cover a whole cake with fondant. Before this we only did cupcakes. Anyway, it's an OK job. We then, decorate the cake with small gold dragees or gold sugar beads. It's a very hard job when you have to punch a hole and place the dragees one by one and using no template, we tried our best to arrange them as neat as possible. Maybe the result would be better if we only need to piped the dots using royal icing, but then the dots wouldn't look as golden as in the picture.

We then arranged fresh roses on top of the cake. The original idea was to use gumpaste roses, but since the gumpaste roses weren't red enough, hence the fresh roses took place. So there you are, our first wholly fondant covered cake. If you don't look too closely it'll look beautiful, elegant and perfect. So if you're still searching for someone to make a pretty custom cake, look no further. Email us at dainty.cupcake@gmail.com and we'll be glad to design and make your cake.

Ciao.
