simple heart shape cake deco

This is the second time I decorate a cake. I love it! This time I managed to smooth the edge of cake pretty perfect. But still needs long time just to make it perfect. Then I piped stars at the top and bottom edge, and finally a pale pink heart shape, also using star nozzle.

I just love simple deco that creates big impact. Maybe next time I can make the heart shape larger.

Another shot. (Coz I just love the cake so I keep taking pictures LOL)




My son's birthday cake

Finally my son has reached 5. I mean, finally I managed to make a birthday cake for my son! And the date was very special: 12/12/12. That is why I decided to make him a cake, because of the special date. Although we just eat it and not celebrating it. So I let my son browsed a list of cakes on internet and he decided a rocket cake. So I took an idea from the internet and simply copied it.
Moist chocolate cake

When I finished, I just realized that I didn't even record any 12/12/12 mark on the cake. At least I should've wrote it on those 3 blue buttons, don't u think so? (btw the buttons are Oreos)

Rainbow cake

I think I am obsessed with rainbow cakes now. I made rainbow cake again, and I think everything was beautiful, even the dirty dishes look beautiful.

So i went to gather with my siblings in Malacca and brought the undecorated rainbow cake. I planned to frost it when i reached there, afraid the frosting will melt on the way. Suddenly my cute little niece Damiya who came home away from Sarawak, brought her Barbie doll and begged me to make a doll cake, in her own way(She showed her begging face and I was melted by her cuteness). Hehe. So with help of my brother in law who suggested I use skewers to stand the doll up on the cake, and another brother in law who helped me to smoothen the doll's dress and put the colorful vermicelli, we managed to make Damiya(and other nieces) happy. :)



Love-shaped cookies

Dear, I have reinvented my mom's cookies to new look. The original looks like this:

And then I was bored and play with pink color a bit:


And then I was bored again, and while I was browsing, I found love-shaped cookies, so I reinvented a bit:


So I make more,





And the cocoa version too:
But, the cocoa version looks like wood's surface, don't you think?

Hmm, I am not sure if this is good idea, please tell me your opinion.And tell me if you want the recipe. This is super soft cookies, you have to be careful when touching it. Very fragile.

my first decorated cake

Yes, finally I got to decorate my very first cake (actually 2nd time, but the 1st one I consider a disaster). I watched youtube a lot on how to smooth a cake. So I ran to buy essential tools like turn table, offset spatula, scrapper, piping bag and nozzle tips. This time I made a rainbow cake.

yeay smooth!


Err... the edges not so smooth after I added flowers and leafs.... hmmm.. But I must congratulate myself for being a fantastic beginner, right? hahaha.
the precious cut..
I am obsessed with the rainbow colors
