Hole in one ?

Salam pd semua...alhamdulillah dapat menyiapkan segala projek tempahan pada minggu ini. And memang kali ni tempahan yg ada semuanya mencabar..lain dari yg lain but I'm happy coz my cakes are making an impact in Melaka..at least among the circles of my customers and their friends...will upload the phgotos later



Well...cake kali ini merupakan tempahan istimewa dari seorang anak untuk bapanya..mesti ada yg cakap..biasalah tu...anak buat tempahan kek birthday utk bapanya...apa yg istimewanya? Biasalah tukan...Ada something yg luar biasa about this cake..coz this cake sebenarnya merangkap kek perkahwinan..and this is my first humor wedding cake..totally lain dari kek perkahwinan yg biasa and I was really suprised sewaktu dapat tempahan untuk kek ini...by the way, pada mereka yg ingin menempah kek perkahwinan...please confirmkan betul2 warna2 yg diidamkan coz tak mahu ada salah faham waktu penerimaan kek..maklumlah kan kek tu utk hari penting....sebenarnya belum terjadi apa2 masalah lagi..just takut manalah tahukan coz normally I ni jenis yg suka lain dari yg lain..especially dari segi warna and design..for my melaka customers, please do not expect yr cake will be something like apa yg terdapat di Italy Bakery, Massie or Mei Chong....I do not like to use buttercream and sponge cake..with all the cream decoration..that's another reason why my cake harganya lebih tinggi dari harga kek dikedai..normally I will use buttercream icing and fondant decorations...as for colors..normally i will play with colors..so pls do not expect a totally white cake from me..ha...ha..ha...So to all my dear customers...if u are asking for a red cake..definitely u will get a red cake...so be ready to be different...;)



To be honest, I was really excited masa dapat tempahan kek ni...By the way yg menempah kek ni was Ain...Ain told me she wanted totally a different wedding cake..not the tradisional one..she wanted some humor too...and paling penting she wanted a golf wedding cake coz her father loves golf soo much...Oh dear, memang excited terus..terbayang the a golf course with the lakes and bunkers...a week before the due date...I discuss with my darling munchkin about my ideas...so as usual he challenged me to do something different...soo I decided to do a two tier cake..with a golf buggy as the second tier..As u can see.. the buggy I elevatedkan sikit coz tak nak nampak penyek..so bawahnya I letakkan base yg dibalut dgn green fondant...The buggy was created from an 8" cake...yg diukir menjadi bentuk buggy...pd sesiapa yg berminaat nak buat kek sebegini...before potong, sejukkan kek dlm peti sejuk dulu..so the cake will be firm waktu dipotong and tidak pecah...bila dah dipotong sapukan dgn buttercream icing and balutkan dgn fondant...



Sebelum I went into further with the buggy, let me introduce u all to the "couple"...yup among Ain's special requests, she wanted toppers pengantin on the cake..wearing tuxedo and wedding gown...so seperti biasa she had to answer lots of questions..so that I can produce a very highly customised cakes...another reason why my cakes harganya lebih tinggi dari kedai..coz semua decorations are very highly customised...and normally the design is exclusively for that particular customer only..cz to me...the customer special day is my special day too..and kalau boleh biarlah designnya mempunyai nilai personal yg tinggi...and yg paling penting the design is specially utk dia sahaja...alhamdulillah setakat ni tak ada repeated design lagi..I always pray to Allah to give me ideas..and tonnes of ideas...






As for pengantin lelaki, dipakaikan tuxedo hitam and with muka ceria..maklumlah pengantin baru...notice the young face? Sengaja di buat pengantin muda...nak bagi credit and buatkan hati pengantin lelaki lagi berbunga2..






As for the pengantin perempuan, dipakaikan wedding dress yg berbunga2 kecil and dihiaskan dgn manik2 kecil yg berkilat juga. By the way, gaun disapu dgn pearl sheen utk nampakkan kilatannya...Ain told me, it was ok if buatkan pengantin tk bertudung..but sebab I really nakkan cake higly customised..buatkan juga tudung...pakaikan tiara perak..I had fun "mengandam" kedua2 pengantin ni..mcm buat Barbie and Kent pulak...Sebenarnya tak susah sgt buat figurine ni..practice and practice..ha..ha..ha..talking about practice, i only practice my skill bila ada tempahan and normally practice waktu beginilah paling challenging coz we have to do it perfect terus and minimisekan error..more picturs of the pengantin for you to enjoy.






So, sebab ain wanted a golf cake..dibuatkan padang golf..if u notice..memang cake ni tak dilevelkan coz nak create image range yg berbukit and tidak rata...dibuatkan juga bunker dari brown sugar yg ditaburkan atas buttercream yg di warnakan coklat..dibuatkan juga golf bag..actually my munchkin yg buatkan...first time dia tolong i buat figurine sebab dia boring duduk ngadap i buat..Dibuatkan juga bola2 golf for the border...






No platenya memang very personalised..tak boleh beli kat JPJ walaupun at a very high price and tak berkaitan dgn kenderaan askar...ZMY49 stands for Zainal Mohd Yassim 49 sempena nama pengantin lelaki dan usianya..yup he was celebrating his birthday too, so this cake gabungan kek kahwin and bday juga...bahagian depannya diletakkan kanggaroo bar so biar nampak garang ... hiasan yg lain, flower bouquet and dah tentunya sign "sudah kahwin".




Dah tentu ramai yg menyangka, I akan buatkan pengantin lelaki yg main golf..nope..u are wrong..kan kek ni sepatutnya kek humor..so I buatkan pengantin lelaki duduk atas boot buggie perhatikan pengantin perempuan yg main golf...sekali sekala biarlah isteri main golf...sering i dengar dari my friends merungut ditinggalkan hubby semata2 kerana golf...and ada yg sanggup buat oversea trip hanya untuk main golf..ha..ha..ha..i'm lucky coz my munchkin tak main golf...so in this story, I buatkan hubby yg jadi caddy pd isteri dia..sebab tu golf bag disandarkan di tepi kaki pengantin lelaki...



and as for pengantin perempuan, smpai tercampak kayu golf yg dipegangnya coz of excitement sebab hampir2 buat pukulan hole in one...way to go girl! Tu yg hubbynya buat thumbs up...congratulating isterinya....




So the cake was delivered to rumah pengantin...and immediately i was surrounded with anak2 pengantin..they were so excited with the cake..."huyoo! siap ada buggy and golf ball"..."ayah ni asyik2 dgn golf"..the kids and the cheir cousin duk mengelilingi I waktu setup kan cake...toppers hanya diletakkan bila sampai..coz takut "tercedera" sewaktu dlm perjalan if dipasang awal. Lupa pula, diletakkan juga "Happy birthday" and "Selamat pengantin baru"



To Encik Zainal dan pasangannya Puan Siti Sa'adiah....semuga berbahagia hingga ke akhirat bersama2 anak2 tersayang...and to Ain...actually I'm amazed with keberanian u mencuba something yg terlalu lain dari yg lain....tqvm sis..i had fun buatkan kek ni untuk yr dad...memang lain dari yg lain....hopefully kek ini akan menjadi pembuka kepada kek humor yg lain...;)
