Iron man vs Iron lady

Salam pada semua..hopefully everybody had a nice weekend...i always love sunday...ha..ha..ha..coz normally on sunday, baru ada ruang for me to ambil nafas esp during this wedding and bertunang season...this week lagi mencabar, but i will curi masa untuk update my blog..tak sabar nak tunjuk semua my latest wedding cake...my second humor cake...fully covered with fondant..n the best thing..it was a special request dari kakak pengantin ...amalina...utk buat kek mcm ni..she wanted to be different..tak nak sama dgn kek kahwin biasa...she wanted the cake to be very memorable for her brother Taza and isterinya...She gave me all the details..but yg paling penting dia kata..mesti ada lambang Megasteel..tmpat kerja adik dia..and toppers pengantin tradisional pakai songket hitam berbenang emas...pengantin perempuan is a teacher...she wanted something totally different.....

I was excited..cz my customer dah mula appreciate fondant cakes..humor lagi...so a week before the wedding, i buatkan toppersnya...ok..come let us berkenalan dgn pengantin...



Pengantin lelaki works with Megasteel and according to the sister..adiknya dah berumur..sebab asyik kerja je..and pengantin perempuan seorang cikgu tadika..so as usual my cake mesti ada cerita...but this time my darling mucnhkin yg set up kan cerita..ha..ha..ha...dia pun dah "gila" mcm I...he always said that i'm crazy when it comes to cake story...i take that as a compliment from him..




So, I was told pengantin pakai songket hitam berbenang emas....oh dear...mcm mana ye i nak buat songket hitam berbenang emas? Puas dok fikir coz i really nak nampak kesan songket tu...so I jenguk all my gadgets yg ada...alhamdulillah...ada few small patern gadgets yg i beli dari sugarflours bangi...and tk pernah guna lagi...so datanglah idea....what i did was..gelekkan fondant hitam...ready utk persalinannya..then ambil "gadget" tu n imprintkan atas lapisan fondant..then baru dipakaikan pada pengantin...but make sure the imprint terang...so bila dah kering, i colorkan dgn edible gold color..gunakan berus lukisan halus..ikut imprint tu..wollla...dapatlah kesan songket and I am very satisfied...sebenarnya terperanjat juga coz bole dapat hasil mcm tu..so in cake decoration to me..everything is about dare to cuba...if kita takut nak cuba...maka kurang cantiklah hasil kerja kita..salah tak apa..tak rugi...penyekkanlah balik fondant tu..buat lagi sekali...bukannya salah kena buang terus...:)



since amalina wanted a traditional wedding toppers, mesti ada kain sampingnya n juga tengkolok...puas i google internet cari mcm mana org ikat kain samping for pengantin and lipatan tengkolok....And persalinan ni I sengaja kenakan warna emas...utk nampak exclusive lagi...pada tengkolok diletakkan juga brooch perak...he..he..he..nak make it really traditional...disisipkan juga sebilah keris dipinggang pengantin...if lihat betul2...sorri for the poor picture..actually kain samping tu mempunyai lipatan terkeluar ..tak nampak sgt dlm gambar coz of the color yg sama...

Tapi kenapa ye..muka pengantin nampak mcm takut aje..sampai duk ketar lutut? Ha..ha.ha...tunggggguuuuuuu !!!!!!! Ada ceritanya..cerita my munchkin yg dah mula jadi sang penglipurlara...



As for the pengantin perempuan, padanan songket yg sama but lesser flower coz i lebih nak tonjolkan potongan kebaya pengantin tu..teknik sama juga..cetak and warnakan untuk dapat effect songket...maaf ye if pengatin i ni seksi sikit dibahagian dadanya...as what I've said..just nak pamerkan kebaya songket tu..maaf pada yg mungkin tidak menggemarinya...dipakaikan tudung and veil warna senada dgn pengantin lelaki and also tiara emas...kasut pengantin juga warna senada...Tapi expession muka kemain garang lagi..sabar cikgu..takkan hari kahwin bawak rotan jugak...?? Siap senget2 hidung and mulut dia menahan geram...;)





Sepatutnya hari kahwin pengantin should be happy...holding hands...but tu biasakan...and normally i love to do different things..nampak mcm pngantin lelaki nak lari dari pengantin permepuan yg sedang bawa rotan...apa ceritanya ye? Wait and see..sabar kay...ha..ha..ha..mcm drama bersiri pulak..;)


Amalina really wanted the logo of Megasteel to be potray on the cake..and as usual..i kan dah ada logo maker yg really excellent..I tahu semua beres..cakap aje apa logo yg I nak...mcm mesin automatik..most of my logos are done by this logo maker and the hasil is so excellent ..I can hv about 98% accurate dgn logo yg sebenar..so pada sesiapa yg nak tempah corporate cake siap dgn logo..i berbesar hati untuk membuatnya...but for those yg nak tahu kat mana i beli logo maker ni...so sorri..memang tak ada jual kat mana2..sorry to make u guys dissapointed..coz my logo maker is very expensive n tak boleh dijual beli..my logo maker is my darling munchkin..yup he is excellent in making logos....so back to the cake, my mucnhkin buatkan logo Megasteel..diwarnakan emas...yg diletakkan diatas steel drum...product megasteel...I was told by Amalina, Taza siap terperanjat bila tenguk steel drum tu and his comment was...."Heh..ni lah brg tempat kerja orang buat. Mcm mana kakak tu tahu?" Well..sebab tulah I cakap, my cake is very highly custom made...I will search hi and lo to make it very personalised...to me I want to give something very special to my customers...normally i tak akan ckap dgn my customers what I'm going to do...merengek mcm mana pun i tak akan beritahu..coz I love to see their the experssion on their face bila terima kek...



Actually kek ni dua tingkat...bahagian bawah I decided to choose orange color..since Amalina told me..color tema weddingnya color orange n to make it more aggressive and vibrant..i letakkan gelungan hitam yg dihiasi dgn perak...tepinya diletakkan guli2 fondant hitam yg sengaja dibuat tidak sama saiz...by the way kek ni siap pukul 3 pagi..after few days yg sungguh memenatkan tetapi exciting...before this cake, I ada 3 other cakes..the green weeding cake, a humoruous birthday cake..tak sabar nak upload cake ni..but hv to wait...and a set of medical cuppies a special request from a sweet sister untuk adik kesayangannya...and semua figurine cake...



Well, this cake was sent to the "venue" very early in the morning...and i tak boleh assemblekan kat rumah pengantin..kan it was supposed to be a very big suprise for Taza...so I had no choice..terpaksa berhenti kat sebuah warung..nasib baik warung tu tutup ari tu..but ada sorang pakcik yg duduk ngadap i assemble cake ni dgn penuh kehairanan..

So the drum was the second tier tapi memang sengaja diletakkan dibahagian tepi kek..and pengantin lelaki disandarkan pada steel drum tu..sementara pengantin perempuan diletakkan at the other side of the drum...So apa ceritanya ye?



According to my sang penglipurlara...pengantin lelaki ni workaholic..sentiasa bekerja aje..sampai tak da masa nak cari girlfriend....tanpa disedari jodohnya seorang cikgu yg kerja berhampiran dgn tempat tinggalnya..so pada hari
perkahwinannya, pengantin lelaki masih sibuk nak kerja juga..mana pengantin perempuan tak geram...tu yg dicapainya rotan..ha..ha..ha..mentang2 dia cikgu..cari suami pun kena bawak rotan...Tu yg buat pengantin lelaki ketar lutut sampai kena menyorok and tersandar pada steel drum..and tenguk expressi muka kedua2 nya...Pandai munchkin i buat cerita...look who is talking...he himself is a workaholic...lepas maghrib baru sampai rumah...if dia sampai awal mesti kami semua terperanjat...never mc..and susah nk cuti...I selalu cakap..if dia cuti, nescaya tutup company dia...ha..ha..ha....nak suruh buat maintanace kat rumah i pun i kena gunakan "letterhead company" dia baru i got the things fixed....if not...bertahunlah I tunggu..to my munchkin...ni bukan nak complain...it's a compliment..he..he..he..



Ha..ha..ha...to Taza and isteri, my presentation hanyalah untuk sekadar menghiburkan hati..tidak ada kena mengena dgn yg hidup atau yg mati...if ada "persamaan" itu hanya secara kebetulan and bukan disengajakan...semuga berbahagia hingga ke akhirat...in marriage life mesti ada pergeseran..bohong kalau kata tak ada..tapi selesaikan dgn penuh hikmah dan akal yg waras...jgn cepat putus asa dgn pasangan kita...sabar is very important..jgn ikut rasa hati and nafsu marah....respect each other and do not expect perfection from pasangan kita...imperfection yg buat sesebuah perkahwinan full with colors of excitement..Ni bukan nasihat utk pengantin baru aje...ni nasihat untuk pengantin lama yg macam i juga...always terima kelemahan pasangan kita...and always jadikan perkahwinan kita sentiasa segar seperti kita baru2 kahwin...maaf if i cakap..ada pasangan yg segan nak tunjukkan experession of their loves...dah lama kawin katakanlah...but trust me...try to hold hands when u go out..jgn malu...hubby kita pasangan halal utk kita..kenapa malu..masa belum kahwin ada yg tak malu berpeluk and bercanda dpan org ramai..kenapa bila kawin malu pulak? Tulah silap org kita...and lagi satu...pesan dato Fadzillah Kamsah..every morning before pergi kerja..peluk pasangan masing2 for few seconds..itulah resepi untuk menaikkan produktiviti harian.. tapi jgn lah lama sgt..nanti takut terlalu productive pulak.....he..he..he...sampai jumpa lagi..salam utk semua..and to para isteri..cuba2 lah hantar sms sayang pd hubby or cakap this four simple words "bang, i love u"...do give a try...but if yr hubby pengsan..tak apa...tu permulaan yg baik..;)



To amalina..tq so much for this special request...actually i pun terperanjat juga bila dapat yr request..request yg sgt berani..hopefully after this akan ada lagi ramai pengantin yg ingin menempah kek yg lain daripada yg lain..and i promise you i will do my best to make it totally different and exciting..And I'm glad I berjaya fulfill amalina's expectation..and this cake was a hit at the wedding..coz it was different..
