Its Green...

A 13kg Butter fruit cake,3 tier square wedding cake with icing drape flowing around the cake. Another challenging design for me in my journey as a wedding cake creator(smile). I love baking and decorating this cake for such a lovely, no fuss couple Sylvrina and Jipanis. It simple yet elegant n chic looking cake. (hmm masuk bakul angkat sendiri)..haha... As usual the flowers are made from sugar paste and Sylvrina(the bride) chooses a green chrysanthemum & Jasmine flowers away from the traditional roses.

The 3 tier square shape was stack up in a zig zag position. Here i design the Fondant drape flowing down from top to bottom and on each tier adorned with the green chrysanthemum flowers. Finally a touch up with conelli design and sugar dragees using royal icing and nozzle tip no 1. A bit of tedious job in here but it was worth it. I just love it!

Decorating the top is the most interesting and challenging part. The bride wanted something different for her cake topper and so she selected a heart shape flower arrangement and i found it in one of the decor shop ! The topper (bride n groom) were then placed at the back of the heart shape flower as if they were looking thru a garden arch. To make it stand firm on top of the cake, i then glued it with royal icing and left it overnight to harden. Wala..there u have it the heart shape and bride n groom topper! A wedding cake design by the bride herself.!
Height of cake is 4in, width 14in(1st tier), 10in(2nd tier) and 8 in (3rd tier) square. It can cater for about 400 pax. Price of cake approximately RM690.


As for the table setting and decoration, we used artificial roses and hydrangea's flower. The champagne bucket is place inside the basket which was filled up with flowers. My nephew Aljay and cousin Vivian were responsible in decorating the table and i say they did a fabulous job!! Hmm lets just say they are now being booked for another wedding set up (smile)

2 thumbs from Aljay plus mine make 3..huhu..:-)

It must be the Calla Lily....

3 tier round cake, height 4in, width 14in (1st tier), 10in (2nd tier) and 8in (3rd tier), it can cater to about 400pax and price at RM690 inclusive of design.

I made this wedding cake for my friend's daughter, Natalia. Both mom Liza (my friend) and daughter are nuts about calla lily that it was only appropriate to adorned it on the cake too. Since fresh flowers aren't easily available we resort to having artificial one that look fresh and natural. So flowers in hand and imported all the way from China as the wedding cake topper!!

The 3 tier 13kg Light Butter Fruit cake was covered in white Fondant icing and lace in conneli design touch up a bit with silver dragees. I used a 6in dummy as a stand instead of the normal pillar and i glue the stalk onto the dummy with royal icing. It looks like the Calla Lily was arrange as if it is inside the cake.

The cake however was a bit shaky when we were about to assemble it. Though i know it wouldn't fall i did sought help from the Pastry Chef whom willingly adjusted with royal icing! Once again, I had an encounter with my miracle angel that day..the pastry chef and so ever helpful Floor Manager and i whisper a thank you note to God....(smile).

This is the first time i design such a cake and i feel proud that its part of Nata's and Farid BIG Day!! Congratulations again to the bride and Groom whom tied the knot on 17th September 2010 during the akad nikah ceremony at the bride residence in Likas and a lunch reception on 18th September 2010 at Promenade hotel.
P/s will publish a close up photo when i get the copy...:D
