Beach cake.....

Funny, a lil bit naughty.....ordered by Kartika for her friends, as a surprise gift.
Kartika specifically requested 2 figurines, a man and a sexy lady.......sunbathing on the beach.

"oohhhh......what a sexy lady," said the man.......

Too bad I forgot to take a close up pic......I can't show you the expression of the lady, winking to flirt the man.....it was soooo funny

More cupcakes.....best seller of the month

Last december was also a cupcake month for me.....LOL. Suddenly, everybody loved cupcakes.
Here are some of my birthday cupcakes......
This one ordered by my friend, Indra for his wife, Lanny

 And this one ordered by Novita for her mom

Red Velvet Cake.....cream cheese frosting and fruits topping, perfect combination

This is the newest product of my kitchen, red velvet cake, moist and soft and of course........yummy. The cream cheese frosting is the best part (in my opinion) of it, but the cake itself is also delicious, and so is the fruit.......overall it's just a perfect cake.
Originally, this cake needs a lot of food coloring to make it red, as the name says it : red velvet. But, to reduce the amount of the food coloring, I put beet root juice to enhance the color, so I don't need to use as much coloring as it's original recipe.

Since I use whipped cream and cream cheese for the frosting, this cake has to be kept in the fridge to keep it 'save', cause whipped cream will melt in room temperature.
This cake was ordered by Dina, for her mother in Malang. I got the order from my friend in the baking mailist that I join.
After I delivered the cake, I messaged Dina that it was already delivered safely, directly to her mom. Later Dina messaged me back, saying that her mom loved the cake......thx God, it's always a big relief for me if my customer love their order.
Happy birthday to Dina's mom....GBU

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

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.

Kenneth's 2nd Birthday...balls everywhere

This cake was for kenneth, my friend's son, who turned 2 today, Sept 6th, 2010.
Sonya (kenneth's mom) sent me a message few days ago. Said she wanted to order a birthday cake for her second son. She also sent me a picture, wanted the cake designed like that.
The theme was balls...any kind of ball : soccer, basketball, softball, football.
Sonya wanted quite a big cake, but she didn't want it to be full 'cake'. So, I suggested to make dummy cake, with the real cake separated. And that's the deal, dummy cake 40x30 cm, and sponge cheese cake with cream cheese filling and topped with shredded cheese.
Happy birthday kenneth...hope you and fam enjoy the cake.

My daughter's 4th birthday cake

My one and only daughter just turned 4 last august 16th. She wanted to celebrate her birthday at school. So, i made her this cake (dummy cake actually), covered with fondant, and cupcakes for the goodie bags for her friends...too bad i forgot to take the pictures of the cupcakes...i was too busy packing the goodie bags, hehehe.

When she was in nursery (2 and 3 years old) i've offered to celebrate her birthday at school, but she didn't want to, cause she was afraid of the clown, hahaha. She still is, so we skip the 'clown' of the party.

The theme for the cake was tinkerbell, so I chose pink and green, the classic color for tinkerbell. As for the cupcakes, I also used pink and green, with 2D figurines of boy and girl faces.

It was quite tiring to prepare all the needs for the party, but it was worth the smile on my girl's face. Nothing compares to that beautiful smile.....:-))

Black forest birthday cake

Black forest yg ini orderan utk tgl 8 agustus 2010, barengan ama acara lamaran adek iparku. Yg mesen Pipit, mau kasi surprise buat hubby nya namanya Tony, which is temen suamiku.
Pertama aku udah mikir diterima nggak, krn kan pas mau bikin punya Ella jg kan. Tp akhirnya aku trima, krn gk pake hias aneh2, simply black forest. Aku hias pake coklat yg dicetak bentuk wafer biar ada motifnya dikit. Udah, itu aja hiasannya plus cherry merah as usual, ama taburan coklat serut di atas.
Cake nya minta dianter pagi sblm Tony nya bangun, jd my hubby yg bertugas anter pagi2 jam 6 lbh. Untung rmh nya satu kompleks, jd gk usah jauh2, bentar udah nyampe ke rumahnya Tony. Dan Tony nya emang msh tidur...horeeee, berhasil, gak ketauan ama si Tony. Pas dia bangun, itu cake udah nampang cantik di meja, hehehehe...
Happy birthday ya !

Birthday cake for my best friend

Hari ini tgl 1 agustus, hari ultah nya sahabat aku, Lisa. Aku udah temenan ama dia lamaaaaa bgt, mulai smp, udah brp tahun tuh...18 thn ada, lamaaa bgt yah, gk kerasa kalo udah selama itu temenan.
Nah aku mau kasi dia b'day cake bikinan aku buat ultahnya kali ini. Pas liat2 buku cake decor, ada satu yg aku suka, simpel tp kayanya pas buat Lisa, yg girly and imut. Yg di buku sih temanya thumbelina, gadis kecil sebesar jempol yg 'lahir' dari bunga.
Aku ngikutin garis besar idenya aja, ada bunga trus ada figurin cewek duduk bersimpuh di atas bunga itu. Pas ngedekor, entah kenapa aku spontan bikin nya bunga daisy (atau sunflower ya ?.....selalu bingung gk bs bedain 2 bunga itu, hehehehe.....yah jadinya kyk di foto deh pokoknya)
Trus, aku tambahin bunga kecil2 biar agak rame.
Happy b'day ya Lis...best friend forever, semoga seneng ama cake buatanku.
Ohya, lupa cerita, pas bikin kue ini, lg mau nuang gula halus, lha kok salah nuang tepung.....aduh, udah takut bantat aja, untungnya nggak, tp mgk teksturnya jd sedikit lebih padat (aku bikin base cake nya lapis surabaya rasa moka-pandan). Ini lg nunggu2 komennya Lisa sambil deg2an, gmn yah rasa cake hasil 'salah tuang' itu, hehehehe...
Pas ngasi udah dibarengi wejangan, ntar kalo cake nya gk enak, lapor ke aku yah, ntar aku ganti, hehehehe...soalnya salah prosedur.
Pas bikin sih ada sisa adonan dikit yg aku panggang di loyang kecil, no problem sih dari segi rasa, tp ya itu tadi, teksturnya jd padat, nggak seringan biasanya.
Anyway, semoga berkenan ama si birthday girl nya.

My LV bag cake

Cake yg ini dipesen oleh temennya suami, namanya Lana, mau kasi temennya dia yg ultah tgl 18 juli lalu. Pertama sih Lana maunya model2 naughty cake kayak yg aku bikin buat ponakanku itu (lihat my first naughty cake).....gara2 dia liat di profile pic bbm nya suamiku. Trus setelah dipikir, diganti jd model tas aja, plus perlengkapan make up and kalung sbg hiasan.
Pertama aku gak tau kalo Lana maunya motif LV, jd tenang2 aja, krn aku deal itu hari kamis ato jumat gitu, trus minta anter minggu......masih sangat sempet pikirku. Tp trus ternyata Lana minta motif LV, haduhhhh.....mulai panik, krn gk sempet pesen edible image lg. Edible image hrs pesen di surabaya dan kirimnya biasanya 2 hari baru sampe, kalo minta kilat bisa mahal banget jatuhnya. Akhirnya aku putuskan bikin dari fondant aja lambang2 LV nya.....semoga bisa (doaku dalam hati, hehehehe).
Ini pertama kali aku bikin cake bentuk tas. Pas ngebentuk kue sih no problem, krn bentuk tas kan gampang bikinnya.
Pusing kepala mulai datang pas mulai bikin lambang LV, manual !!!!! Untung selesai juga akhirnya.
Aku blm tau tuh komen nya gmn, semoga aja cocok ama Lana, plus ama temen nya yg lagi ultah itu. Pas mau nganter sih pake deg2an aku nya, takut gak puas, krn bagaimanapun lambang LV yg aku buat gk bisa sama persis, lain kalo pake edible image kan bisa persis. Trus sempet juga cerita di milis, kalo aku lg deg2an takut cake nya gk berkenan di hati si customer. Tp temen2 milis pada baikkkkkk semua, semua kasi semangat ke aku. Kata temen2ku kalo utk ukuran bikin manual hasilnya udah bagus, aduhhh lega deh hatiku. Semoga next time bisa lbh bagus lagi.

Hello Kitty Bday Cake for Icha

Ini bday cake buat anak nya temenku. Benernya si temen gk mau ngerayain ultahnya Icha ini. Nah, pas aku ama temen2 (4 psg) breakfast bareng (ini perkumpulan para bapak and ibu yg abis anter sekolah trus suka breakfast bareng gt, hehehe...ganjen ya) ngobrol2 mau makan ikan bakar cianjur bareng, trus mamanya Icha nyeletuk " jumat aja sekalian ultah Icha "...hah ? Ya udah gpp kata yg lain.
Trus dari rencana cm makan ikan rame2, eh dikomporin ama yg lain2 malah jd bikin pesta ultah. Nah, bday cake ini hadiah ultah buat Icha dari aku and 2 teman lain, aku yg kebagian bikin cake nya, yg lain ... EO dadakan, hehehe
Bagian bawah dummy, atas lapis surabaya, cover butter cream dg tema hello kitty.
Agak2 sulit nyari hiasan hello kitty. Benernya kalo waktu masih agak lama, aku mau bikin figurin kitty dari fondant aja, berhubung udah mepet ya pake yg jadian aja, akhirnya nemu celengan kecil ini buat topper.
Pas bikin bday cake ini heboh bgt soalnya pake acara rumahku kemasukan ular pas aku lg nungguin si lapis surabaya mateng...huahh kaki and tangan lsg lemes rasanya. Acara baking and dekor mendekor si kue tart ditunda dulu sampe aku lemesnya ilang, hehehe
Untung semua bisa slesai tepat waktu. Semoga si Icha nya suka ya ama cake nya.

Birthday cake simple cover choco ganache

Satu lg proyek overnight ku. Yg ini bener2 overnight, ditelpon hari senin siang, trus kirim selasa pagi. Agak2 keder juga antara terima ato tolak, krn blm yakin bisa selesai, tp karena yg pesen minta dekornya sederhana aja, karena ini buat cowo yg notabene udah dewasa ya, jd gk perlu dekor yg rumit2, aku putusin untuk terima.
Base cake nya lapis surabaya, dihias full coklat, plus aku kasi cherry merah sebagai pemanis aja.
So, kalo ada yg mau pesen kue ulang tahun tp gk mau dekor meriah bisa nih pake hiasan full coklat kaya gini, enjoy yaaaa...
