Decorating tier no 1...

THE CAPTIONS ARE ALL UPSIDE DOWN!! I WILL EDIT THEM LATER BUT JUST MAE DO AT THE MOMENT OK? :)

Starting of with some simple string work.

Some err I guess you can call them mini string work or frills. Whatever you want... (I scarped this off at the end. It was rather ugly. I will be replacing it with the lace. Scroll down....)

LACE!

OK here are some picture of the string work and lace I did...

I started yesterday night after the paint on the cake dried and the icing on the board hardened.

Tier No 1

Caption for photo: It is actually DARK PURPLE! (Not blue!) I don't make cakes with such UGLY colors! LOL!!


Whew! I managed (Yeah, square cakes are NOT my best friends but I LOVE round ones! I wanted a bit of a challenge this time round so I chose square!) to cover a 14" (Biggest cake I have ever covered!) square cake (I am bad at covering squares... The edges always tear!!) ALMOST without tearing!!
Yes I was VERY lucky this time...
It was a perfect cake until...
I was smoothing the cracks on the edges with my palms and then I must have rolled that part a bit too THIN and half of that side came tumbling down!!
UGH!!
So much for my lucky covering square cake day!
I managed to patch it up!! (But on one of the corners you can see the Styrofoam dummy cake but it is OK... I will HOPEFULLY think of something to cover it up!)
Hoorah!
I was trying to be a bit of a 'Dare-devil' (Remember the square cake?!) this time round...
I PAINTED the cake to give it a special effect! (It has this nice streaky effect. Just to tell you if you cant see it on the photo that I uploaded...)
SO far SO good!
it actually turned out pretty well...
I didn't expect it to turn out like that but it turned out OK :)

Busy...

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately!
I have been VERY busy with my wedding cake since I decided to do something TOTALLY different than what i had planned!

Thump! Went the cake into the trash can! Yes, the 2 covered cakes went into the bin! (Well I just scrapped off the icing.. Didn't exactly dump the WHOLE cake in there..)

Well so now my wedding cake theme is...

IT'S GONNA BE SHOCKIN'!
So get READY!!







INDIA! (Or Indian which ever you prefer!)

It is gonna be SUPER fun making it!

Woohoo new cake challenge!!

We will be meeting my Poh poh, Koong koong and my cousin Caryn there, I cant wait!

Will blog about Port Dickson when I get back home :)

Oh and about the wedding cake...
The top 2 tiers are done :)
I experienced a couple of cracks in the royal icing so I had to redo but it was OK I suppose...
Now the top 2 tiers are wrapped in cling wrap and waiting for my to do string work on them!
I cant wait to get started on the string work!
But first i would have to ice the bottom 3 tiers... Ugh!
Am getting a bit sick of icing the cakes already ha ha!!
Really excited about the string work part...
It is going to be SO fun!!

OK Port Dickson here I cooooooome~!

And I am using that time for blogging :)
I am rather addicted to blogging again...
Actually I am more towards blogging then Facebook ever since i started my 'Do you know the cupcake girl?' blog.
I LOVE my blog.

Mommy is bugging me to help pack stuff in to the car. So I cant blog :(
