All girls' favorite things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
these are a few of my favorite things

Mesti ramai yg tahu lyric lagu dari filem mana ni...well this is the song lyric of "My favourite things" from the movie Sound of Music...my favorite film..i love this movie so much and can watch it over and over...tanpa jemu...ha..ha..ha..poor munchkin pun selalu kena dera tenguk sekali dgn I...love all the songs in this movie..

So..base on the title...I teruja sgt nak buat lebih kurang yg sama...All girl's favorite things...and this "cake" was done for Lynn..a very last minute order disaat I sedang "honeymoon"...she was so bersungguh2 minta dibuatkan untk set hantaran perkahwinannya..actually she totally forgot about hantaran cakes...he..he..he..faham sgt tu..maklumle berbagai2 benda dlm kepala menjelang hari bahagia...Actually that week I memang dah allocatekan time utk my family..waktu cuti sekolah...but kesian pula pada Lynn ..and plus memikirkan the excitement nak buat something special...so terpaksa cut short my honeymoon...

Actually Lynn requested two sets of hantaran..for both sides..untuk set perempuan..she wanted something yg mencerminkan kewanitaan..tak kisah apa saja...bila dia cakap mcm tu..terus terbayang nak buatkan set vintage dinner bag...with all the vintage makeup sets...wanita and alat solek memang tidak dapat dipisahkan..excited sangat with this project...

Talking about alat solek...he..he..he..sukalah saya mengingatkan kepada para isteri..bersoleklah untuk suami..bukan suruh bersolek yg tebal2 sgt...don't get me wrong..bersolek to me..is perkemaskan penampilan diri kita bila bersama suami..Ada dianatara kita yg suka berbaju kelawar...comfortable memang comfortable or berkain batik n tshirt...makin lusuh makin best...he..he.he..my own experience..tapi sekali sekala oklah...berdandanlah dirumah...untuk suami kita...Ada diantara para isteri..bila nak keluar rumah..berjam2 duduk didepan cermin..bila keluar harum semerbak...muka dah berwarna warni..segan kalau org tenguk tanpa sebarang solekan..but bila sgn suami..dhlah pakai baju kelawar..rambut pun tak sikat..org melaka cakap serabai...silap tu...kita marah if suami tenguk perempuan lain ..tapi kita sendiri abaikan penampilan kita bila berada dgn suami..kita lebih jaga penampilan kita bila dgn org..bukanke kecantikan kita hanya untuk suami kita? So to para isteri..berhiaslah dan berdandanlah utk suami kita.....



OK....let me introduce the makeup sets first...face powder..by the way, Lynn wanted something pink or white..as long as sweet...not all pink color is sweet...kena cari hue pink yg betul...and untuk nampak feminin lagi...i gunakan hiasan yg ada lingkaran..


Then..the lipstick..the casing pun i gunakan yg ada lingkaran...and warnakan silver utk kesan classic...cuma tak perasan pula..bhagian dlm tak tersapu habis warna...

Next is the vintage perfume bottle...together with the powder brush...



Now....the main item..the vintage dinner bag...holdernya memang i nak nampak classic and elegant...and ditambahkan lagi dgn lingkaran bunga halus menghiasi bahagian atas beg...If diperhatikan..ada banyak kedutan di beg dinner ni...memang disengajakan untuk menampakkan kesan movement yg natural...as for the jalur pada beg..what i did was..rolled flat the fondant and then gelekkan textured rolling pin keatasnya...bila dibalutkan pada kek, jgn terlalu tekan sgt so that kesan jaluran tu tak akan hilang...



So seperti biasa, i akan lapikkan set hantaran dgn "lipatan kain satin"...and juga dihiasi dgn taburan kelopak mawar untuk nampak lebih feminin lagi...by the way..mesti semua perasan...the whole set berkilat...he..he..he...now i'm crazy airbrushing..semua i nak airbrushkan...tak puas hati if ada yg tak kilat..and i gunakan Americolor sheen..sikit saja yg harus digunakan tapi kesannya..masyaAllah jauh beza jika tidak dikilatkan dgn sheen...







This set together with another set dihantar pada Lynn..and terus dikerumuni oleh family members dia...first time I jumpa Lynn in person..yup..she got to know about my artwork via internet...and memang tak dinafikan I dapat ramai kenalan baik customer ataupun fellow decorators via this blog..By the way, ada juga family member Lynn yg nak mngusik untuk test kek masak or tidak....but alhamdullillah..Lynn was happy wity both of my artwork....telling the truth sometimes..susah I nak panngil my artwork as cake...coz it does not look like a cake at all...Well till the next entry take care...and to Lynn semuga berbahagia hingga ke jannah...kehidupan berumahtangga is one of the nikmat yg Allah beri pada kita..so make sure nikmatnya berterusan...
