Another version of Thomas Birthday Cake.....for Tristan

Thomas the tank engine......one of the most popular themes for boys. Many friends of my daughter's love this cartoon character (including the birthday boy, Tristan).
When Tristan 's birthday was getting closer, me and my friends made a plan to give him Thomas train set as birthday present.
Then, I got an idea to make him birthday cake, and use the birthday present as the cake topper.
Here's the birthday cake for Tristan :

I put some fences, trees and bushes to decorate the sides :

Happy birthday Tristan.......be a good boy, GBU.

Super Terrence in action

This bday cake ordered by my friend Sonya (2nd order, after the 'balls everywhere cake for Kenneth'). This time, it was for her first son,Terrence, who turned 6 on Oct 14th, 2010.

The theme was Superman...with clay figurine on top. I love the colour...blue, red, and white...typical superman classic colour.

I also put Terrence's photos as toppers for the cupcakes...his journey from year 0 to year 6.

Happy birthday Terrence...God bless u always

Wedding Cake.......Rusli and Ella

This is my first wedding project, specially designed for my sister in law.....Ella, and her husband Rusli.

Got the idea for the bottom tier from Wilton yearbook 2010, Ella loved it immediately the minute she saw the picture in the Wilton book. The other 2 tiers, I just made it simple and clean......
The topper was also Wilton product. It was quite hard to find the topper cause I live in small city in Indonesia, I have to buy it in bigger city. But, lucky for me, a friend of mine, who lives in US was going to Indonesia for holiday trip, so I asked her to buy me the topper in US then I paid her here....problem solved. And it was worth the effort, the topper was beautiful, simple, elegant and sooooo romantic.
Happy wedding for Rusli and Ella, hope you guys have a wonderful family.

Cupcakes for the triplets

Triplets ??? Really ? Hehehe.....yeah, these cupcakes were made for my friend's kids, triplets...2 girls, 1 boy.
Last year I also made their birthday cupcakes, the theme was Shaun the sheep. This year's theme is snacks and sweets.
I made burgers, hot dogs, pizzas, cookies, doughnuts, etc.
Few days after the birthday I got a message from my friend, saying that everybody was happy and loves the cupcakes...thx God.
I do hope that next year I will make their birthday cake again...:-))
