You'll never walk alone

Salam to all...what a tiring day...just finish baking two sets of kek lapis hantaran...had been on my feet for the whole day...now it's the time for me to take a short break...still have lots of flowers to be done...



Actually this cake was done sometime ago for my senior in KL..and just got the chance to upload it...khuatir if ada yg boring asyik tenguk kek hantaran and wedding cake..so i selitkan cake football ni...and from the tag line and the silhoutte..i guess lots of you can guess it already which team I'm going to present..yup..it's Liverpool!!! Yeah Go Liverpool....Ha..ha..ha..cara I bersorak macam I ni kaki bola...Actually I'm not into football..but used to be a fanatic fan sometime in the 70's where our national squad was the talk not only in our homeland but also in Asia...the name Mokhtar Dahari or super Mokh..and his famous jersey number 10...Arumugam for his spidey movement infront of the goal post..memang betul...if dia tangkapa bola..aksinya memang hebat..and bola macam melekat aje kat tangan dia...Then we also have Soh Chin Aun now is a Datok...Melaka Datok, Santokh Singh..walaupun badan boleh tahan besar tapi lincah dipadang and handsome..seribu kali dapat kalahkan shakrukh khan, Dollah Salleh...and ramai lagi...that was the superb era for our football team...now..if bagi ticket free pun I tak akan pergi...he..he..he...no offense to Malaysian football fan..but it's not worth watching the game now...ha..ha..ha..especially for Melaka state team...jaringan lawan macam main netball....6-1, 7-0, 5-1...I hope tak da yg akan saman I..coz this is the fact...

Hmm..let's forget about the "netball team"...lagi baik cakap pasal kek...by the way, this cake was ordered by Puan Allyn Rabiah...boss Cenderasari...and also tuan punya restoran Tanjong Seafood di KL...untuk anaknya Ariq sempena birthdaynya yg ke-7. This was my first full fondant cake...and this time bukan i purposely chose merah coz disebabkan warna kesukaan I..but sempena warna official liverpool..and dipadankan dgn teal color...






As for the logo ... as usual I tak guna ediple printed logo...I just love the challenge to do the logo manually...and this time 100% was done by me...nak try to challenge my munchkin...but I guess he is the winner..I'm not as accurate as him..and it took me half day to do the whole logo...maybe pada yg tidak faham, mereka mesti tertanya2 why fondant cake is expensive...firstly...fondant is expensive...even if buat sendiri pun..it's very time consuming and leceh...sometimes jadi..sometimes tak jadi..and hasilnya tak selembut and sehalus ready made fondant. Secondly..it's not easy to do the figurine...ambil masa juga...so the whole process is not easy..sebab tu harga kek fondant memang mahal compared to buttercream cake...I know other decorators are having the same problem too...customers always ingat fondant cake sama harga dgn buttercream cake....so to all readers..it's not that we want to sell at high price sebab suka2...nope at all...it's because of the work yg ambil masa...



Ariq is a fanatic fan of Steven Gerrard..pemain nombor lapan pasukan Liverpool...and this time round, I nak cuba something different..instead of having the figurine of Gerrard..I gunakan bayangan dia beraksi menendang bola...



So basically, this is a very "Liverpool-ian" cake...semuanya gabungan warna rasmi Liverpool...and diserikan dengan few cupcakes warna senada...but fokus kepada Gerrard...buah hati Ariq...and I was lucky..managed to buy the bekas seakan2 corak bola..hitam putih...beli kat Bake with Yen KL...and for those yg kat Melaka..ada dijual di King Hin and Fun Bake but of course with higher price....If bola, mana boleh lari dari jersey, boots and muffler..etc...ha..ha..ha..unless if buat untk Melaka state team..boleh I buatkan "beep" and tiang gol netball..he..he..he..harap2 manager Melaka ada baca blog I..bukan tujuan nak mengutuk pasukan Melaka..but sekadar untuk mencabar mereka supaya mempamerkan aksi anak jantan bila dipadang bola...football is a man-game...oops sorry no offense to the ladies teams..but rasanya if pemain perempuan yg bermain utk Melaka..rasanya lagi cemerlang kot...;P



Lupa pula nak mention, cake board ni juga dialas dgn fondant...and mesti ada yg nak tahu mcm mana boleh dpat merah sebegini...mesti ada yg ingat I gunakan Satin Ice fondant yg memang dah warna merah..nope...I gunakan fondant putih and kemudian diwarnakan merah..I gunakan warna red-red and a little bit of lemon yellow..tak susah nak dapatkan warna merah ni...



This cake was delivered to Allyn di premis Cendrasari Ampang Point...but I didn't get the chance to mee the birthday boy himself...However, I was told that he was thrilled with this Liverpool cake...By the way, instead of "Football Club" I gantikan dgn the word "Happy birthday" and "Ariq-7" to replace "EST-1892" to make it more personalised for the birthday boy...To Allyn..terima kasih daun keladi...



p/s : By the way...the logo was made everything from fondant cutouts even the lingkaran atas tu pun dari fondant cutouts...tulisan sahaja guna royal icing
