Nastami's bdck touched up version

Nastami's mother, Heni, told me that she wanted her son birthday cake to be more colorful. Is it possible to do it before the birthday party? Well, a neighbour who lives a cross the road can be long lasting customer so I said...YES, ABSOLUTELY!




Then we had a little discussion about what actually she wanted, and I did what she wanted and she was very pleased after the touched up. Of course this service is free of charge. I did this as part of my service to make my customer happy.






Again, Happy 3rd Birthday Nastami!

Nastami, a little boy who lives a cross the road celebrates his 3rd birthday today. His mother asked me to make 2 birthday cakes for him.

2nd birthday cake is for celebrating Nastami's birthday at school. His mother requested for 3D lighting Mc Queen cake with 30cm square base cake. Wow!....I have never made a 3D cake before, but I decided to say yes to her I take it as a challenge. So here it is...a 3D Lighting Mc Queen for Nastami. Not perfect yet, still needs improvement but as I made it for the very first time I think it's okay hehehehehehe.....

Assorted Cup Cakes for Sofie NCC

I received calls and sms from Sofie, a friend from NCC mailing list. Sofie lives not too far from my house in Cibubur area but unfortunately we've never met each other yet. Sofie ordered 2 dozens of cup cakes for her sister and best friend's birthday.

Sofie mentioned that her sister doesn't liket girly things, she is more a tomboy so the cup cakes should not be flowery or other girly theme. Well, that's a big hard for me as I am so the apposite, I love girly stuff! Therefore last night my made my husband to accompany me in decorating cup cakes for Sofie' sister to give me some idea in color and decorating. Well...worked well enough and I hope Sofie' sister will like them.

It's not too difficult to decorate the other dozen for Sofie's friend as the theme is girly :-)

Juan & Kelly Birthday Cake

One day, after I posted barbie cake I made for Ruth, some one from New Zealand emailed me saying that she wanted me to make the same barbie cake for her niece in Jakarta. Later on, Nina ordered 2 birthday cakes for Juan and Kelly, her nephew and niece whose birthday is today, April 14th.





Juan's birthday cake












24cm square of chocolate devil cake decorated whipped cream and chocolate ganache. Theme : Juan & Naruto.

It's pretty tricky using whipped cream for decoration. I even forgot to cover the edible image with white chocolate to make it able to store in the refrigerator. So after finishing the decoration for Juan's birthday cake, I keep Juan's cake in my kids' bedroom which is airconditioned to keep the whipped cream stable and not melted because of the high humidity.

Kelly's birthday cake

A barbie cake with color theme pink and white. I couldn't make exactly the same barbie cake as I made for Ruth. I didn't know why...I just couldn't....I decided to change some designs and did a different hair do also for the barbie. I hope Nina won't mind with it.

My biggest mistake was I didn't realized that the cake plate I bought was too small to put the barbie cake together with Kelly's cup cakes. So on delivery I put a note that actually the cup cakes go together with the barbie cake on display.

Nina, thank you very much for your believe in me...I hope those birthday cakes will brighten Juan & Kelly's day.
