Sighs..and sighs
Well recently my head is going burst on thinking what cake i should bake on Teck Chuan birthday.I wanted to make a Tiramisu but most of its ingredient is difficult to get...and does not come in small amount...for example brandy..i dont think any shop will sell like 100ml of brandy...Well i was going mad on what to make so i decided to make a Chilled Cofffee Cheesecake..but it was something i had already done...so i went to dosome researching...and came across a very interesting blog...she's a full time mom who spend her time at home...but she sell her cake at home! At home? you might think how is that possible...Her blog has lots of fans and she received award even FROM ONLINE! Her design are creative , unique and special ! She has great artistic sense..Thanks to her i learnt alot...for example using PIPING GEL to allow whipping cream to be more stiff so that it doesnt become soft in room temperature.Also i learnt how people print picture on cakes!It wasnt that complicated at all actually.You just have to buy any edible ink catridge and edible paper:) I also learnt how to make sugar paste design and sugar pearls and found out that i can use royal icing as " Glue " to make pretty designs for fondant cakes:) Well enough of talk.Going to show some pictures of her marvelous designs!Anyways before that her blog is
http://allthatmatters2rei.blogspot.com/ . You can order a cake from her as well she lives in Singapore.1 week in advance for simple design and 2 week in advance for a complicated design or 2 tier cake.
This is a fondant cake.Those pearls,butterfly and flowers are made out of sugar paste and the glowing effect are because of the pearl dust.
This is a 2 tier cake.A cake on top of another cake.It is decorated with fondnt and the pillar and top with ice cream cone.Those green and purple creams are called royal icing.They are very good for piping as they are stiff and can hold out well.
This is a strawberry cheesecake.in the middle it is instant jelly.(Tortally jelly strawberry flavour)can be bought from NTUC fairprice..anywys dont you think this simple design without any piping is just so simple and unique?Strawberries on the border and in the jelly): Too bad since she's selling this design she wont be exposing how she made the hole in the middle of the cake and put the jelly but i guess i have a rough idea on how she make it.
