Your fantasy is my reality

Fantasy cakes, I mean! I have always been fascinated of how cakes are turned into a work of art. I knew that there's an artistic side of me but I never really paid attention to it until I started decorating cakes. I had some basic training of cake decorating years ago when fondant covered cakes were never heard of. I only knew boiled and royal icing then. But nowadays these fondant, gum paste or airbrush thingy are very new to me. So I merely rely on youtube videos and countless bloggers for tips and tutorials on how to create artistic cakes. A big thank you to these people for sharing their knowledge to the world.

Here's my first character cake for my godson on his first birthday, followed by a 3D cake for his second birthday.

A bold attempt in basket weave piping with very shaky hands! LOL

There you go!

Hit or Miss?

It's-just-not-my-day. The words I often say when my freshly baked goodies went  flop and head straight to the bin. Heartbreaking and even depressing! I told myself countless times I could never be good at baking and I should just give up. But how can I give up something I really LOVE doing? Just keep in mind... Shit happens, get used to it!! :D

So here are some of my hit-and-miss cakes. Although most of my "miss" cakes didn't actually make it for pictorial out of frustration, I don't want to take pictures of them sitting ugly from the bin!



1. Red velvet cake (I made them into cupcakes). Taste was okay (without the cream cheese frosting) and definitely better with the frosting, until my poop became red for three damn days I was dead worried! I have always wondered why so many people swore by this cake and consider it as  "to-die-for". Yes you will definitely die because of the amount of food color in it!! Jeez!
Verdict- MISS. I prolly won't make this again but If I somehow find a way not to use any food color in it then I might change my mind.

2. Banana-chocolate chip muffin
 It was very easy to make. It smelled divine after coming out from the oven. However a day after it became dense and I needed to pop it in the micro soften it up.
Verdict- Still a hit for me :)

4. Pineapple Upside-down cake
A miss for me. Too sweet and dense.

5. Custard cake

HIT. A flan with a cake. Need I say more? 

6. MIL's birthday cake

MISS! I will never use store bought whipped cream spray for cake decorating. Sorry MIL!

7. Steamed Rice Cakes

MISS. On the left side were steamed and on the right side were baked. And these are really meant for steaming. I just wanted to experiment to get the consistency I wanted. But surprisingly both were flop.
