Princess Aurora

Last week, I got my biggest order ever. It was for a small Princess Aurora cake and 9 dozen cupcakes, which makes 108 altogether!

I was worried I could not handle the workload, but my client had requested for very simple designs for the cupcakes, so I figured it would most probably be doable... though I would definitely be losing some sleep over it!! :)

So anyway, her little daughter was turning 6 and she was of course, a princess fan. Her favourite was Princess Aurora from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. So her mum requested for Aurora on a 6" round cake in light pink and purple colours. The cupcakes were to be in the same pastel shades.

The cupcakes and cake were both American chocolate. Princess Aurora has an upside down cupcake under her skirt. The rest of her is made from gumpaste.

I like how her hands turned out... chubby and cute.

Claire's 4th Birthday - Hello Kitty cake

We celebrated Claire's 4th birthday yesterday. I made two cakes for her; one to bring to school and another for the party that night.

She requested for Hello Kitty cakes, so I made one with a 3D model of Kitty and another with an appliqued Kitty.


I baked two 9" round chocolate fudge cakes. I used the recipe from The Cake Bible and I think this is the yummiest one so far. I iced and filled the cakes with a light chocolate ganache.


This time round, I got the rolled fondant recipe just right. It's texture was wonderfully soft and pliable. It was a delight to work with. There wasn't a crack in sight; just a few air bubbles. I made the 3D model and the flowers a few days ahead of time, so that they would be nice and dry when I needed them.


All in all, I think this is my best work yet, so far.
