Merah putih salju

Salam buat semua...semuga hari ini kita akan terus mendapat rahmat Allah dan memperolehi segala kemudahan dariNya dalam menjalankan urusan harian kita. I'm taking a short break so it's time for me to update this blog with one of my latest cakes..to those yg cakenya belum diuploadkan minta maaf banyak2...rasanya tak cukup tangan nak buat semuanya..Last week sahaja i baked lots of cakes and gambar diatas adalah sebahagian dari kek2 yg ada untuk weekend project and masih ada 5 lagi yg belum dibakar waktu gambar ini diambil...memang I wish sangat ada org bake kan untuk I so that I can concentrate in decorating only. Setakat ni alhamdulillah, all the decoration stuffs are done by me...all the flowers and figurines..sometimes dlm kesuntukan masa, my munchkin cadangkan supaya I beli bunga2 dari CC..but to me my cake is my art..evrything I nak buat sendiri walau susah macam mana sekalipun..Infact few minutes ago, ada seorang rakan yg menelefon utk menempah kek and she stold me that one of her friends pun dah berjinak dgn homebake..and she suggested edible image to me...Well, susah nak cakap ye..coz setiap org ada preferencenya..and me ..I tak suka guna edible image coz to me..ia setakat ambil gambar..pergi kedai buat tempahan..and lekatkan sahaja atas kek..no offense to anybody and I minta maaf banyak2 if I ada menyinggung perasaan decorators yg lain...to me my cake is just not a cake..it's an art..sebab tu everytime dapat tempahan puas kepala ni berfikir..apa pulak I nak buat sekarang..coz I love to be different..why do we have to be the same as others when we can create something different...sekali lagi ampun dan maaf if kata2 I menyinggung hati rakan2 decorators yg lain...




Kek kahwin kali ni lain dari yg lain yg pernah i buat...coz its white..purely white..and dibuat khaas untuk sis Khuraizah yg I amat senang sgt berusan dgn dia..tidak cerewet langsung..dia menyerahkan semuanya pada I..cuma satu aje pinta dia..she wanted white cake and very simple cake..actually dia turut menempah kek hantaran dari I...and this time..I buat kek empat segi..which I tak pernah buat sebelum ni. Khuraizah sent me few photos of her dream cake...which is extremely very simple for me...Untuk kek kahwin, she wanted putih and bunganya merah..but bukan merah yg terang...Hmm, masa mula2 dia cakap merah, in my mind terlintas warna merah cili..and dah readykan fondant utk warna tu..but 2 days before menghias, I sms dia and tanya sekali lagi..coz if based on kek hantarannya warnanya lembut..and why untuk kek kahwin pilihan warnanya begitu contrast...Persoalan itu akhirnya terjawab and betul sangkaan I..dia tak nak merah terang..hmm..so tukar warna kepada merah hati...hopefully it suits her request...So bunga2 ros ni dubiuat sendiri seperti biasa...dan dispraykan dgn pearl sheen..bukan red sheen coz i tak nak nampakkan kemerahannya sgt.



Kek bahagian bawah hiasannya simple shaja..I hanya gunakan my lace pattern and this lace cutter is very easy to use....I highly encourage those yg nak beli lace cutter beli this type...I have few of the cutters, but I love this the most..got it from ICCA..comes in 3 designs in one packet...tapi rasanya di Sugarflours pun ada..What we do is..just roll the fondant..tekan dgn lace mould tu...if u notice the pattern is so sharp..and kemudian potong dgn cutter..so easy..I guess this is the easiest lace cutter yg I pernah gunakan.



Bahagian atasnya pula...dibuatkan empat segi juga..cuma..tinggi sikit..coz i need the height..and kek ini telah dipotong menguncup keatas..he..he..he..for some reason too...Tepi bahagian bawah I gunakan lace cutter juga..but ditepi I gunakan my embrodery print..tapi frust sikit sebab tak nampak sgt kesannya..mungkin sebab i press waktu dah dibalut dgn fondant ..jadi ia menekan fondant ke dalam and printnya tak sharp..next time kena buat sebelum membalut....as u can see kat bawah..the prints on my cake board is very clear and very sharp...by the way, this embroidery set u can get it from Sugar Flours..ada macam2 pattern actually and its very handy...boleh digunakan untuk cupcake...






So this is the top of the cake...sebenarnya tujuan i potong menguncup kek 2nd tier ialah untuk membentuk sebuah kotak yang terbuka and bunga2 terkeluar dari kotak tersebut...Khuraizah wanted something vry simple..and she sent me photos of very simple cakes..rasanya tak sampai hati nak buat begitu simple..and this is my simple. Bahagain penutup cake is a real cake...selepas beberapa kali buat kek berpenutup, alhamdulillah dah tak ada masalah lagi..





So kek kotak tersebut diletakkan senget tetapi senget sikit shaja..so taklah nampak formal sangat..and bunga-bunga disusun jatuh terkeluar...At first, hanya bunga merah sahaja yg diletakkan and I tak puas hati...nampak tak berseri..So proses kerahan tenaga pun bermula..I minta tolong my munchkin tolong buatkan bunga2 putih tu untuk I..he..he..he..walaupun just bentukkan seperti peraldrop..it really meant so much to me..coz it was already late at night...by the way..keseluruhan cake ini di airbrushkan dgn americolor sheen including all the small flowers..evrything has to be berkilat...Finally this cake dapat disiapkan and frankly speaking bagi diri I, memang puas hati sgt coz of the white and red effect..it looks very elegant...I was so pleased, hilang rasa penat.




So the cake was delivered to Khuraizah's place at 6.30pm coz her cake cutting ceremony was after majlis berinai..Senang hati bila mak Khuraizah kata she was so pleased with the hantaran cake which i sent in the morning..I was told semua org kata cantik and amazed at the cake..Thank you Allah for giving me the ideas..Walaupun mak Khuraizah cakap begitu, I masih berdebar lagi ni coz nak tunggu apa pula komen pengantin..and Alhamdulillah she was so happy with the cake..I takut sgt coz she wanted something simple..and the best thing warna merah yg i pilih untuk bunga kena sgt dgn warna merah pilihannya..alhamdulillah..

To Khuraizah...thank you sooo much for y trust in my work and thankyou to u and yr family for yr hospitality...suka sgt bila hantar kek dapat tuan rumah yg peramah and tinggi budi bahasanya..I will always lemah dgn org yg tinggi budi bahasanya..sebab tu wlaupun my price qutation was for simple cakes..but I decided to give more than what she paid for..coz of her budi bahasa waktu berurusab melalui telefon dgn I..Semuga Khuraizah dan suami bahagia hingga ke jannah and i'm sure both of you will raise excellent solleh and sollehah kids..how do i know..insyaAllah bagaimana acuan begitulah hasilnya...tq sis.



By the way, dibawah ini adalah pelamin Khuraizah..it was so simple tapi sweet sgt..and ia adalah hasil kerja tangan Cik Andam Erin...a self taught mak andam..frankly speaking i'm really amazed at her makeup talent..she can simply turn someone to a beautiful princess and the best thing is she only use natural colors..if tak percaya can go to her delimaandaman.fotopages.com...she is Melaka based and her price is very reasonable...by the way I won't be promoting her if her work is "lauya"..seriously she has a big talent..nasib baik Michael Jackson dah tak ada..if not mesti dia pun minta Erin make-upkan dia...he..he..he..saja nak menyakat Erin.


Sehingga berjumpa lagi in the next entry..take care..to new cake decors jgn takut ...always believe in your own talent..;)
