GO! MR JENAL !

Phew...I'm back..taking " a few day break" before kembali to my designing and decorating world..a world which I will lost in my own world...most of the time in the world full with fantasies and stories...For the past few days...I was so busy with few projects...tak sempat nak update blog...even there were few orders yg I had to reject dgn berat hati...minggu yg penuh keseronokan dan kegembiraan..

One good news yg I nak share dgn semua, I was recommended by Mr Lim from King Hin Melaka untuk menjadi Wilton Method Instructor..was supposed to report for a five day intensive course in KL...to be honest, when I first started menceburi diri dlm bidang ni...about 6 months ago..it was always my dream to jadi WMI...that was my target...unfortunately, had to turn down the offer due to my orders last week...maybe some of u might say that I'm crazy utk lepaskan peluang keemasan begitu saja..but..I had to fulfill my promises with my customers..money was not the reason, harapan my customers are very important for me..ada diantara order dah masuk about 3 months ago...and this dear sis begitu mengharap and excited untuk melihat permintaannya ditunaikan...To sis Nurainie Tan, tq for yr advise..insyaAllah ada rezeki nanti....by the way miss Nurainie Tan is WMI Instructor of the year for 2009...I love to visit her blog at acupcakeproject.com




Yup...let's talk about cake...yg penuh dikelilingi dgn cincin2 hitam dikelilingnya..cake apa kali ni ye? And apa istimewanya Mr Jenal dlm entry I kali ni? Well..mari kita berkenalan dgn Mr Jenal...



Mr Jenal..seperti yg dilihat didalam gambar ni...actually diatas kek ini...is someone yg suka menghabiskan masanya di gym...berkulit gelap and oopss...tidak mempunyai rambut...personally, I tak pernah jumpa Mr Jenal. Gambaran tersebut diberi oleh Fila..yg bertanggungjawab menempah kek ini untuk Mr Jenal...Fila juga minta special request..supaya I buat kek Mr Jenal sedang angkat berat...Seperti biasa..I agreed ajele..nak buat mcm mana kena fikir kemudian.



So, if you all perasan, the colors kuning hitam adalah warna Gold Gym..a very wellknown brand for gym accessories...and gambaran Mr Jenal adalah based on Fila's description...dark color skin, sexy bald head and memang I buatkan badan yg sasa..secara lumrahnya memang org yg pergi gym badannya akan begitu...

As someone who loves fun, I tried to create some humors for this cake...boringkan kalau biasa saja..coz to me every cake mesti ada ceritanya yg tersendiri..and lagipun a cake is supposed to create excitement pd yg menerimanya...



So sebagai untuk menjadi penyedap cerita untuk kek I kali ni, I buatkan Mr Jenal angkat berat...andddddd...I letakkan Mr Bumblebee dihujung besi angkat berat ... ha..ha..ha...poor Mr Jenal..walaupun badannya sasa dan kuat, sebagai manusia ada juga perasaan takutnya pad sang lebah yg kecil sahaja...begitulah dlm kehidupan kita yg sebenar...walau besar mana sekalipun badan kita or sekuat mana kekuatan kita..or sepandai mana kita sekalipun...always merendah diri..jgn sombong dgn apa yg kita ada..coz insyaAllah..andainya kita rasa diri kita hebat, ada lagi org yg lebih hebat dari kita...jangan kita menjadi lalang..semakin berisi semakin sombong berdiri...jadilah seperti paadi..semakin berisi semakin menundukkan diri..tidak salah kita merendahkan diri kita...

Sebagai pelengkap hiasan untuk kek ni, I buatkan sekali gadget2 gym..gym bag and towel. By hte way, this cake disalut dgn fondant seluruhnya...tepinya dihiaskan dgn " kepingan pemberat "...semuanya dari fondant juga...and diatas kek, I tuliskan ala tulisan GOld Gym...tapi with the words GO MR JENAL...and STAY FIT ditepinya

Fila and here friends were so excited about this cake...Yang kelakarnya..bila dah nampak kek ni, dia pulak tak nak bagi kat Mr Jenal. However she did send the cake to Mr Jenal together with her friends dgn harapan untuk celebrate and merasa kek tu..Unfortunately, Mr Jenal tak nak potong kek tu.....he loved the cake so much and nak disimpan untuk tunjuk pd kawan2nya yg lain..;). To Mr Jenal..happy birthday..semuga kita bertemu satu hari nanti...and to Fila...tq again dear for yr trust..glad that the cake cheered up yr friendship with yr friends and Mr Jenal...;)

To all..sampai ketemu lagi dilain entry..always ingat...jadi seperti padi..semakin berisi semakin tunduk walau hebat mcm mana sekali kita pun...salam ceria untuk semua and semuga semuanya dirahmati Allah.

Ben 10 again

Had been busy for the past two weeks..but alhamdulillah, segalanya berjalan lancar...eventhough banyak new technique yg I applykan esp pada my wedding cakes...will post the cakes later..coz still waiting for some pictures dari pengantin.

This Ben10 cake was done for Cikgu Rafidah untuk anak saudaranya Naufal...at first he wanted a Wonderpets cake...I dah siap fikir untuk buat the wonderpets' flying machine...with all the three characters....but then last minute he changed to Ben10 after tengok my previous ben10 cake...so it was a last minute cake, tapi alhamdulillah dapat disempurnakan tepat pd masanya..main characters...of course BEN10 himself and Greymatter yg cuba memanjat kek...



Kali ni i decided not to gunakan lambang Ben10...I just main dgn colors...so people akan straight away knows its a Ben10 cake..walaupun jika tak ada sebarang figurine yg diletakkan..and I guna teknik piping disini..

pat

Well have to go now, 2 cakes are waiting..I will try to post my latest cakes asap...i'm still waiting the chance to buat cake transformer...





p/s : By the way, pd my muslim friends selamat tahun baru...salam Maal Hijrah..semakin bertambah tahun ..maka semakin hampir kita dgn perjanjian untuk bertemu Pencipta kita

Dollar signs request - kek "paling mahal"

Alhamdulillah..I'm so happy today...my dearest bibik is back...phew..tak payah I nak terkejar2 or tercungap2 lagi...banyak kek kahwin due..tapi sementara kek masak I ambil kesempatan untuk update blog ni...by the way..sorry to dearest readers yesterday...coz maybe ada yg sempat melihat offensive remarks by our dearest Cik Nisa yg masih belum ubah perangai...and tq to Ainil...she made me aware of the deleting function...ha..ha..ha...actually I ni tak berapa pandai sgt in blogging...sebab tu if u all perasan, I tak pernah tukar layout my blog...However, sama2 lah kita berdoa supaya Cik Nisa kita diberi hidayah and petunjuk..tapi sebagai renungan buat semua...selangkah kita mendekati Allah...sepuluh langkah Allah akan mendekati kita...and begitulah sebaliknya..so sama2 lah kita cuba mencari hidayah Allah..kerana kita tidak pernah akan tahu bila kita akan dipanggil semula untuk bertemu dengan Pencipta kita...

Ok...let us talk about cake now...Hmmm...cuba teka apa yg I ingin paparkan this time...a bit of clue and I guess ramai yg dapat meneka apa yg ingin dipersembahkan kali ini...



Tapi kenapa pula dgn kunci BMW and "lian pow"...sebenarnya..this cake was a special request from my dear friend Theresa...not the one yg I buatkan swan cake tu....my new friend from wilton class...but as if mcm we all dah kenal lama..that's the best thing about being Malaysian...walaupun berlainan bangsa and agama kita masih boleh bersahabat baik..persahabatan tanpa sempadan. And I received the order few days before the delivery date...I called her up and terus gelakkan dia..coz Theresa ni juga buat cake...my comment was.."Theresa...u know what, org Melayu panggil ni sakit mim, alif, lam sin"..ha..ha..ha...but her replied was.."Eh kawan...I want a special cake and i know u r good with this kind of cake"...nak membodek I lah tu...She wanted a cake yg melambangkan kemewahan untuk birthday dua shabat baik dia..Jo and Jessie..and the two ladies hanya nampak dollar sign aje comment Theresa...so she ask me to come up with a design yg melambangkan kemewahan and Dollar sign...hmmmmm



Terus I terfikir nak buatkan kereta BMW...but two days before the baking day..Theresa hantar 3gambar yg dihantar oleh one of them...and ada special request untuk buat beg LV..I decided to do another designer bag..coz normally I tak suka tiru another person's cake..so being adventorous...I pilih beg Channel yg harus di " shapekan"..Ha..ha..ha..I guess mesti u all notice yg I tak pernah buat or belajar buathandbag cake...and the course i dengar quite mahal jugak...but bila dah ada yg request..I took it as a challenge...I had to do it by hook or by crook..and as usual I akan visualizekan apa yg perlu dibuat...bohong kalau cakap I takda perasaaan takut...takut salah potong and I dah kesuntukan masa...Alhamdulillah dapat juga i potongkan ikut shape yg I mahu..actually masa awal buat cake ni..I tengok buruknya..but my munchkin sentiasa bagi I dorongan...katanya do not worry, mesti akan jadi cantik kalau dah dihias...By the way, this cake was fully covered with fondant...first time a customer requested a full fondant covered cake...special request by the two ladies...ha..ha..ha...her comment was.."shikin..ini dua org kawan I kolot sikit...tapi mahu kek fondant..walaupun they all tak tahu sebut"..that's my friend Theresa..




Zip ni i buat manually tanpa guna sebarang mould...talinya pun...punyalah leceh nak dapat gulungan tali yg halus lepas tu harus dijalin untuk menjadi tali beg...ni yg buat I teringat nak dapat kan tool utk buat tali..tapi mahal pulak...dah tenguk dah..tapi sebab banyak gadget lain yg menjadi impian I, ketepikan dulu niat ni...yg lecehnya..ia harus digelek sama besar dan panjang..kadang dah dapat dah kehalusan yg i nak..putus pulak..so kenalah buat balik..



As for the buttons, I warnakan dgn warna edible silver which i bought from Cake Connection in PJ...



Kenapa pula ada kunci BMW and gold "lian pow" (sorry if i got the name wrong...I siap called my chinese friend tanya apa nama nya..sebab nak google cari imej yg sebenar) ni..?? Well, the BMW key selain dari menunjukkan simbol kemewahan..it also at the same time bagi indication to "BRING MORE WANG"...he..he..he..semuga bertambah prosper..and the gold lian pow also simbol kemewahan yg berterusan...semuga kedua2 mereka terus dilimpahkan rezeki yg melimpah ruah...;). As for the lian pow, actually I warnakan dgn gold color..but frust sebab warnanya tak licin...maybe after this i'll try a different technique pulak..



Ayam and tikus...kenapa pula ada haiwan2 ni...sebenarnya ini symbol tahun kelahiran kedua2 mereka...Jo tahun tikus..Jessie tahun ayam...so dibuatkan kedua2nya as if mereka sedang berbual sesama mereka...kan mereka berdua berkawan baik..lots of people tanya I mcm mana i boleh buat figurine from fondant..ada yg cakap if mereka buat, lain yg dibuat lain yg jadi...my answer is always..u just imagine as if u main dgn tanah liat waktu kecil2...jgn takut..buat aje..if tak jadi just lenyekkan balik semula...and lagi satu..don't expect things to be perfect masa first try...he..he..he..mcm nasihatkan diri I balik..;p

So here are the few angles of the handbag...before i present the whole handbag...



Oh ya, lupa pula..the "handbag tag" wishing the ladies a vey happy birthday...



Finally the whole handbag with all the gadgets...memang masa i mula2 buat kek ni..i nak semua kelihatan "mewah" sebagaimana yg diminta oleh Theresa...sebab tu i buatkan pelapik satin merah...from fondant of course yg ditaburi dgn manik emas...red brings luck to Chinese beliefs..and of course gold juga...lambang kemewahan...by the way, handbag tu I sapukan dengan pearl luster dust and satin merah disapukan dengan electric red...semuanya nampak berkilat and mewah...



I delivered the cake di restoran where they celebrated the birthday...sepanjang malam I tak boleh tidur..nak dengar komen dari Theresa and her friends...finally at 10 something Theresa sent me a message which made me feel as if i'm in 7th heaven...which made me boleh lelapkan mata terus...thank you to Theresa..i feel honoured to do this cake for you..coz i know it carries yr name also..and tq so much dear for the trust u hv in me...if only u knew...actually this was my first handbag cake..tq to u...and the two ladies...next year i'll do a convertible bmw cake ...Ha..ha..ha..my munchkin gave me a very nice comment..."It's so good that u know how to do a handbag cake..tak payah nak keluar duit beribu2 nak beli designer handbag.."..hmmmm...kena fikir balik semula ni...tak boleh nak tunjuk sangat bakat..nanti rugi..he..he...he...

SKUAD! sedia untuk terjun! 1, 2, 3 TERJUNNNN !!!!

Inilah sumpah pendekar kita

Andaikata kami gugur semua
Taburlah bunga diatas pusara
Kami mohon doa

I love this song and memang hafal lagu ni...sebabnya..inilah lagu kami sewaktu kena kawad dizaman MRSM...lepas subuh hujung minggu dah tercangak untuk berkawad...he..he..he..yg menjadi ketua skuad abang2 senior..and still ingat lagi semangat we all untuk berkawad..berkobar2 if ketua skuad abang senior yg handsome...awal2 lagi dah bersedia..but if yg kurang handsome..alamatnya banyak kali dia jerit pun we all tak ready lagi..well those are some of the memories yg I simpan sewaktu zaman MRSM...cuma yg pastinya...bertahun2 I kena kawad...tak pandai2 juga..kiri bawak kanan..kanan bawak kiri..pening kepala I nak hafal all the movement...he..hee.he.. ni mungkin sebab kawad hanya nak tenguk ketua skuad handsome.....;)

I'm so excited this time to post my latest collection...dah tentunya kek askar...payung terjun lagi....to me this is my best work for novelty cakes...Super Theva dah jatuh no 2....



This kek dibuat khas untuk memenuhi permintaan hubby Lela...this time dia order in advance...Yazid...anggota para...payung terjun...he wanted an army cake for his birthday...good sign..my cakes are making an impact now...;)..dia just bagi hint kat Lela...rasa2nya Kak Shikin boleh buat kek askar tak? Hmm...and of course I kata boleh...sepanjang 2 minggu i duk sibuk fikir apa nak buat ye..mula2 ingat nak buat all the army gadgets..boots, id tag, hand granade, ponco...mass tin and mcm2 lagi....but bila kek dah depan mata dah jadi lain pulak...mula lah idea dramtic datang...since hubbynya anggota para...so mulalah terbayang askar landing selepas penerjunan...of course the deco kena sesuai dgn persekitaran..apa yg I bayangkan..askar tu terjun and landing ditempat yg berlumpur and berpasir...guna buttercream...ditaburi dgn brown sugar yg digelapkan dgn pewarnan..so nampak tone sikit...perasan tak..rumput2 pun diwarnakan senada...basically warna and pesekitaran mesti seimbang dgn adengan yg hendak dipaparkan..



Seperti biasa, I will try my best to get as close as I can..untuk semua..warna, imej and persekitaran...puas duk menguli warna untuk pakaian seragam, beg and payung terjun...gunakan marble technique..tapi untuk kelihatan bersepah pecahan warnanya..i buat beberapa biji bebola coklat and di campurkan dgn warna hijau...actually campuran hijau pekat, orange and a little bit of kuning...

By the way, semua deco tu boleh dimakan..tak ada sebarang penggunaan batu kerikil yg betul digunakan...he..he...he....coz bila dipamerkan kek tu di kedai i di MMU, ramai adik2 yg bertanya..kenapa letak batu betul? They all ingat tu batu betul...semuanya dari fondant...




This time, i fokuskan pada movement and juga facial expression...lingkaran tali payung terjun and lipatan payung terjun I tried my best not to nampak kaku...especially lipatan payung terjun tu..



Mukanya I buat as if dia benar2 terperanjat dari "landingnya" maklumlah selalunya landing berdiri...but dia landing baik punya...tertiarap...just imagine apalah agaknya perasaan setiap anggota tentera kita apabila mereka membuat penerjunan payung terjun? I can't imnagine bagaimana resahnnya hati para isteri mereka yg sentiasa mendoakan keselamatan suami mereka...my big salute kepada semua para isteri askar..mereka memang wanita berhati waja...Mukanya memang dihitamkan...dah namanya askar...and by the way..warna baret tu memang warna original baret Para..

Masa buat set ni pening juga kepala I bila men"google" gambar2 yg menunjukkan peralatan askar..coz tak banyak gambar yg ada with all the details..so I buat semuanya berdasarkan kepada ingatan dan pengalaman I sewaktu di MRSM..yup..kami sering terlibat dgn aktiviti2 lasak yg melibatkan tentera..program jalan lasak selepas SRP, kem tentera di Asahan..and banyak lagi program and semuanya menyeronokkan...and kami selalu dibekalkan dgn peralatan tentera..but payung terjun tak adalah....




And ucapan "hepi b'day" memang sengaja dituliskan dgn warna kning..warna tentera...diletakkan di payung terjun...senapang jga dibuat dgn fondant berdasarkan imej sebenar senapang mainan anak lelaki I.....and senapang tu masih tergenggam kemas walaupun landingnya tak baik, coz itulah tanda bagaimana para askar sentiasa mendahulukan amanah dan tugasan mereka walau dlm keadaan apa juga pun...mereka samasekali tidak akan berundur...and ibarat kata perwira terbilang kita...Kanang Anak Langkau..Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban..selagi hidup selagi melawan !!! And sepatutnya kata2 inilah yg harus disematkan dalam hati kita...jgn putus asa...and jgn fikir negatif....jgn kata kita tak kreatif..coz itulah pematah semangat untuk menghasilkan karya yg terbaik....




All in all, I was so happy with this cake...sooooo happy coz ia lain dari yg lain...I minta izin Lela untk pamer kek ni di kedai I sementara menunggu untuk diambil...and sesak jadinya bahagian yg I letakkan kek...ramai yg mengambil gambar kek ini and penat i nak jawab soalan..but I was so happy coz dapat tunjukkan kelainan in my work...Lela called to thank me..and Yazid was so happy with this kek payung terjun...terus ambil gambar untuk ditunjukkan pada kawan2 dia. As for my hubby pula...dia kata, siap sedialah u...nanti semua anggota para minta u buatkan kek payung terjun..;)..I senyum aje..sambil jawab lepas ni i buat kereta kebal meletup...;)





p/s By the way..jgn ingat semua kerja kita boleh perfect terus...ha..ha..ha....just see how my first askar ... anak2 I (pengkritik paling utama after my munchkin) cakap muka askar ni macam muka meow....ha..ha..ha...memang betul cakap they all....

A happy Pooh

This cake was done for my staff Lela...AGAIN A LAST MINUTE ORDER for her sister-in-law...at first she requested for an Ultraman cake but then changed her mind. She requested for a Winnie the Pooh cake...so dlm masa yg singkat..i straight away google semua gambar Pooh..and most of gambar Pooh semuanya sedang duduk...boring pulak..then suddenly bila tenguk this "sweet picture" terus fikir nak buat Pooh sedang baring sambil menungkat dagu with kaki belakang terangkat...he..he...he..ni bukan Pooh tapi my "baby boy" yg memang chubby...I just love to ambil gambar2 anak2 I yg mcm ni...it will be my treasure one day..So berinspirasikan dari model "debab" yang sedang tidur dgn nyenyaknya....I came up with this decoration



So the real Pooh dibuat terbaring kesukaan sambil menungkat dagu...my munchkin tanya kenapa Pooh you tak pakai seluar? He never realised yg Pooh memang tak da seluar..I just lekatkan kepala kebadannya dgn menggunakan air and let it stick there for about half an hour..of course kena letakkan penyokong sementara...kaki dan tangangnya pun begitu juga..lepas I dah constructkan ikut gaya yg I mahu, I biarkan kering dulu so the formation stays..bunga semua dari fondant...





Tepi kek memang purposely dibuatkan tak rata sebab nak tunjukkan effect persekitarannya...and nama Balqis dari fondant..and menggunakan template huruf I yg baru...seronok dapat template ni...love tu di buat free hand...but ikut style template tu> The "stone" dari fondant...all in all...I had fun decorating this cake...Balqis was happy too..unfortunately she had to berebut Pooh dgn anak2 sedaranya..so bercerailah kepala dari badannya..it sound like a sad ending..but that the best thing in cake decorating when people admire our artwork...Happy birthday to Balqis...semuga membesar menjadi anak yg solehah dan menjadi kebanggaan kepada semua especially ibu ayah.

Kasihnya ibu membawa ke syurga...kasihnya anak2 sanggup buat apa sahaja..

Yes finally ada masa untuk update this blog and this time memang excited untuk persembahkan a very special cake...all my cakes are special actually but this time teramat istimewanya..sebab...cake ini was requested by a very sweet daughter for her mom and dad...Qilah...classmate my daughter. She wanted it to be a suprise for her mom...so dengan malu2 dia minta I buatkan a very special cake for her umi and abah yg celebrate their birthdays a month apart..her umi suka pink and her abah suka merah..tu saja yg diberitahu..and she told me that she had small budget...I tak fikir pun pasal harga kek tu...yg pentingnya I had to do it for her coz of her thoughtfulness untuk menghargai kedua2 umi dan abah dia...In my mind, I dah terbayangkan keknya nanti mesti kena ada element romantic and sweet...puas dok fikir.



Mula2 ingat nak buat couple holding hands...stick figures..tapi tak romantic pulak..then terfikir nak buat a pair of white dove..but then changed my mind..coz to me a pair of swans explains everything..the warmth of love, closeness, kesetiaan..etc
and begitu jugalah dengan umi and abah Qilah...abahnya sedang bertugas di Vietnam and Uminya sorang2 handle 6 kids in Melaka tanpa sebarang pembantu..sebab tu I want my cake tu menceritakan kisah cinta, kasih sayang and kesabaran mereka...normally most of my cakes ada cerita...so sebab tu kepala swan betina tu terlentok and tunduk didada swan jantan..bukanke begitu hakikat kehidupan suami isteri yang sebenarnya? Isteri harus patuh and tunduk pada suami selagi suami tidak menyuruh membuat kemungkaran and membelakangkan Allah. Once kita dah bersuami, segala kehidupan kita adalah untuk suami and to me, setiap pasangan harus banyak mendalami ilmu rumah tangga...especially about tanggungjawab suami isteri..bila kedua2 pasangan faham akan tugas dan amanah yg harus dilaksanakan maka InsyaAllah bahagialah rumahtangga..mesti ada perasaan tolak ansur and saling faham memahami antara satu sama lain..tapi andaikata ada perkara yang tidak menyenagkan hati..tegurlah...tapi tegur dengan berhikmah..jgn terus hendak melenting. Zaman sekarang tidak sama zaman mak ayah kita..to me zaman sekarang amat mencabar untuk kaum wanita coz lingkungan sosial kita besar and teknologi telekomunikasi pun terlalu canggih..and sampai ada yg disalahgunakan..tak hairan sekarang kalau kita dengar ramai isteri yang curang pada suami...ada boyfriend diluar and tidak kurang pula masih boleh bercerita dengan bangga tentang affair mereka...semuga Allah menjauhi kita dari melakukan perkara2 yang dilaknati Allah...semuga kita akan bertemu dgn suami kita di Jannahtul Firdaus..biarlah kita yg menjadi ketua bidadari pada suami kita...amin..


Back to the cake...it was a chocolat moist cake covered with buttercream...and fondant figures..dihas dengan pearl sugar and bby the way..swans tu I sapukan dengan violet pearl dust..tu yang nampak kilat. I decided to use the pearl sugar..sebab..bila Qilah minta I buatkan kek ni dengan bersungguh2 (she kept on calling up my daughter tanya macam mana rupa kek ni..but i cakap dgn dia rahsia...) I dapat rasakan the warmth of her love towards her parents and the pearl sugar..dapat menggambarkan sesuatu yg sungguh istimewa dan tidak ternilai harganya...kasih sayang seorang anak pada umi and abahnya. Qila minta anak I bawa kek tu kesekolah and dia sudah sediakan beg untuk sorokkan kek tersebut dari uminya...but I told her not to worry, Aunty Shikin akan hantarkan kerumahnya..so mak dia akan lebih suprise lagi...but it turn out I yg surprise coz bila sampai kerumahnya malam tu, Qila straight away ambil kek tersebut and sorokkan dalam bilik dia..nasib baik umi dia di dapur...but bila Uminya muncul, she invited me in..sebab katanya dah disiapkan juadah untuk I...rupanya she thought I datang berjalan kerumahnya....hmmm..I pulak tak boleh bagitau sebab sebenar kedatangan I....nak cakap jalan beraya..raya dah abis...tak kan nak cakap I datang untuk Deepavali...dlm sibuk2 Umi dia dgn I, Qila and her sisters dah nyalakan lilin and buat surpise untuk umi mereka..and she was so suprised..but happy..so barulah I boleh cakap kat dia tujuan I datang...This was the first time, I turut serta dgn majlis yg melibatkan my cake..and bila cake dipotong..it was like..ouch...biasalah kan..but I was happy to be involved in Qila's suprise project...the best part in cake decorating is when you see all the happy smiles...(he..he..he..pls ignore the scene dlm tv) it's worth more than money...happy birthday to umi and abah Qila ..to bad he is still in Vietnam..but I'm sure dia dapat merasakan kasih sayang anak2 dan isteri tersayang yg sabar menunggu kepulangan beliau...semuga keluarga mereka dilimpahi dengan penuh kasih sayang dan kebahagiaan hingga ke akhirat..

Happy bday Apa...from Puduki

This cake was specially requested by Anjali for her father's 55th bday..but she wanted the cake to picture her daughter...Niranjana..the only grandchild int the family. Initially she wanted an edible image of Niranjana to be on the cake...but than she changed her mind after having the thought that the picture of her darling daughter would be cut and eaten...phew lega..coz I memang tak suka buat edible decoration.

Sengaja I buatkan concept yg begini..coz it was supposed to be a cake from Niranjana..so the whole cake had to picture Niranjana...playful, cheerful..and babyish....istimewa untuk Datuk tersayang..so I buatkan a figure of "Niranjana" with her milk bottle and favorite toys...and tak ketinggalan bantal busuknya yang ada nama Puduki..nama manja panggilan atuknya. And tulisan India tu I yg tulis sendiri..he..he..he...sebenarnya suruh Anjali tulis perkataan "atuk" dlm tamil..and I copy sajele...

Kek ini disiapkan petang raya...and terus dibawa ke Seremban untuk sambutan harijadi bapa Anjali...she called me masa dinner tu..her mom wanted to speak to me...she was happy with the cake and she wanted to order a special cake for Niranjana's 1st bday...a special big cake...and I was so excited when she told me about the concept that she wanted...hmm..let it be a secret.....can't wait for the day to come...another challenge for sure..Baack to this cake....Anjali siap tanya I a very funny question...lilin tu boleh makan tak kak? Selamba I jawab, tak boleh makan, I belum belajar buat edible lilin...ha..ha...ha..since she had seen all my cakes with all the edible figurines...she thought the candles are also edible...gelak I dibuatnya.



To Anjali thankyou very much for your order...actually this was the fourth or fifth orders from her....I definitely will do something special for your mom's request..

Alif, ba, ta...

This cake was requested by Sis Hidayah...and this time she placed her order in advance...tak da lagi bagi I terkejut terkejut..he..he...he....yup...sometimes memang I kena tolak permintaan...bukan sebab sombong or malas tapi sebab tak mampu nak buat. Normally memang I akan concentrate on one or two cakes only in one day and it also depends on what type of cakes yg I sedang buat...if the cake requires my whole attention, normally I akan buat satu cake saja in one or two days. So jgn kecil hati if I tak amik last minute order..sebab tu pd my regular customer yg dah tahu they will place the order in advance to book for the date.

So back to the cake..I name this cake as cake alif ba ta...sesekali ubah angin..selalu bila cakap pasal kek untuk anak2 kecil kita mesti akan terfikir ABC saja...so I decided to guna huruf jawi...talking about huruf jawi...sedih sgt bila ramai dari anak2 muslim kita yg tak tahu nak baca jawi...and lagi menyedihkan bila tiada iniatiatif dari pihak yg sepatutnya untuk memperkayakan tulisan jawi...mungkin sebab kita fikir..nak buat apa tahu baca jawi sedangkan semua bahan penerbitan kita bukan dalam tulisan jawi..but to me...amat penting untuk mengenal huruf2 jawi..

Hidayah requested for a cake dgn tema tadika ...so sebab tu I chose bright colors..tapi tak boleh buat banyak sgt sebab sebenarnya kek ni dibuat 2 ari sebelum raya..masa amik order tak perasan pun yg tarikhnya 2 ari sebelum raya..ni kes I mematikan hati untuk raya lah ni...actually I ada few cakes..bukan few..lots of cakes ari tu....8 biji kek gula hangus...melalui "tempahan paksaan" oleh my darling neighbours, 4 kek coklat and 2 birthday cakes..he..he..he..tu tak termasuk kek2 untuk ibu mertuaku...sebenarnya...bila amik order for birthday cakes, I tak perasan langsung yg tarikh deliverynya dua ari sebelum raya..actually boleh kata petang raya juga lah tu...bila my munchkin bagitau..barulah I kelam kabut..but alhamdulillah dengan perancangan yg betul dapat I penuhi semua permintaan...



So this cake was specially done for Wafa and Miqdad..permata2 hati Hidayah yang sungguh keletah and aktif...especially si Wafa..kesian si adik terpaksa dibotakkan gara2 sikakak mencuba bakat menjadi "professional hair stylist"...and Miqdad..is so mature for his age..terperanjat I tengok kematangannya....he is so cute. Semuga kedua2 mereka akan membesar sebagai anak2 muslim yg berani dan kuat semangatnya didalam menegakkan kebenaran....Amin



To sis Hidayah, terima kasih daun keladi...tapi jangan order terperanjat2 lagi udah le..by the way, pada sesiapa yg berminat untuk membeli tshirt muslimah boleh le jenguk blog Hidayah at amalwafaonline.blogspot.com...very reasonable price

A sweet bday cake for a sweetgirl...Happy bday Nabila

This simple cake was made for my dearest sister..Kak Aminah..for her sweet daughter Nabila...It was a last minute work...notice the girl figurine in the middle of the cake..for those who want to learn how to make it...just log in to cakecentral.com and go for fairydolls...it has all the tutorial...I love this site..they have lots os easy tutorial on figurine..step by step guidance and it takes few minutes to master it..however I was not really happy with the figurine...the detail especially due to the time constraint...u will know why later...

The apple blossom flowers are handmade...the creepy crawlers were buttercream icing..
The candles..bought from Bake With Yen in Puchong...As for the girl in the middle...have to reduce the size of the body next time because when u start to do the dress...it will make the girl look fat...so reduce the size of the body to half of the normal size...

To Kak Aminah..thank you for the order..and to Nabila..happy birthday dear...

Finally.. SuperTheva reveals his handsome face

So sorry...the shot was not really good...but I was quite please with my "copying work" I guess i managed to get as close as possible to the real handso,me Theva...what do you say Vanitha??? He..he..he..only his darling girlfriend can justify the "resemblance"..

Actually I was late in delivering the cake..so I couldn't snap lots of pictures...infact I totally forgot about the candles and the cutting knife...so these are the only close-up pictures of SuperTheva



Here is the final picture of the whole scene...the tunnel..the landslide..the broken railway track...the frightened Hamtaro..and of course the Superhero..SuperTheva the greatest hero...


Finally..some of the photos during the delivery..,everybody was suprised and amazed..since they were expecting a normal superhero cake...once again I was in seventh heaven....the reaction and the faces of excitement .... no words can decribe how I feel..to Vanitha and Theva..thank you so much...hmmm...I'm waiting for your big day.... :)

A fan admiring SuperTheva in his "carriage box" before the assembly....hmm..Vanitha should be very proud with her superhero




More of the crazy and fanatic fans of SuperTheva couldn't wait to snap his photos..






THE END
