Sangar & Wan's Wedding Anniversary - An Order from Korea

Yesterday night I received confirmation from Ms Esther Yeoh, currently in Korea, for a last minute order for two dear friends, Mr Sangar and Ms Wan, for their wedding anniversary today.

The request was simple - no specific design, just a small butter cake with flower themed fondant covered cake. Took the order to task together with another order (Ms JY Chang). Phew, haven't been this busy since I came back from my semi-retirement state in baking!

In my haste, burnt my finger in the oven and was decorating much slower than I should be. So ended up sleeping at 4.00 am and waking up at 7.30 am to resume work. Thank you Ms Esther for having trust in me to complete this task.

After delivering the first order of the day to Kota Damansara, delivered the surprise cake to the lovely couple at Subang Jaya. They were unaware that they are the intended recipients of the package as Ms Esther merely told them that she needed their help to accept a piece of artwork deco on her behalf today since she is not in the country. The look of surprise and the happy face of Mr Sangar made up for the lack of sleep and the burnt finger.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MR SANGAR & MS WAN!

Oriental Wedding Cookies

A friend, Siew Wee, requested me to design and make some simple oriental theme wedding cookies for her guests. Unfortunately I was on drips at the hospital 2 days before her actual wedding day and was unable to complete the cookies for all her guests...

Sweet Piggies Wedding

An old friend, Fong Seet, requested for a cake and cupcake tower for her wedding.. We were ex-room mates during our first year in the university.The bride designed the cake and the cupcakes herself and gave specific instructions as to the colours. She wanted a nut based cake so I made her a banana walnut cake. This was the test run cake - it was moist and delicious..

These pictures are work-in-progress the night before the actual day.. Here are the pink blossoms, oranges-peach butterflies and sweet yellow roses as requested.

The beautiful bride..

Oh, I forgot to mention - the bride requested for cupcake wrappers - pink butterflies cupcake wrappers were provided..

Sneak Preview: Mark and Min Min's Wedding

Thank you Ms Minnie a.k.a Min Min for the order last Saturday. Wishing you and Mark a blissful marriage!

 

It was rather challenging doing the standing wedding couple figurines last week due to the wet and rainy weather. I made at least 6 of them before the figures finally decided not to sag, melt or tilt - with the air conditioner switched on for 24 hours throughout the whole process of decorating up to the delivery. Had some issues on the stacking and transporting of the 3 tier cake too. I was really relieved to have the cake finally delivered and the bride loving it!

 

These are pictures courtesy of the bride. The first and the last tiers are made of butter cakes (one with orange buttercream and the other one with normal butter cream) and the mid tier is made of moist chocolate cake. I will upload more pictures later.

The bride loved Yasmin's Hello Kitty cake design, complete with the ombre frills, and gave specific instructions as to the design.

Kadazan Blushing Bride and Cheerful Chinese Groom

Weddding cake! Specific instructions for the Kadazan bride to be wearing the traditional Kadazan outfit and the Chinese Groom to be wearing a smart mandarin collar outfit with golden dragons. The traditional Kadazan costume is black velvet with gold trimmings and silver (dollar) belt). A peacock sits beside the blushing bride. It was a red velvet and cream cheese two tier cake. The daisies are made with fondant as I was told that these are the bride’s favourite flowers.

 

It was an order which was definitely trying as the mixer broke down and I arrived half an hour later than expected at the wedding reception at Mariott. The hotel staff was waiting at the lobby with a push trolly to receive the cake. Very sorry to the bride, groom and also the head bridesmaid for the worry. Thank you Ms Briony, Mr Lawrence and Ms Bibiana!!

 

P/S: I didnt manage to take much pictures as everything was done in a rush. Thank you Ms Bibiana for the picture!!
