Macaroons

The time starts now!!!
I received an order for a birthday cake. The client gave me less than 24 hours notice about what he has in mind for this cake. Thank goodness that he just wanted something simple, but with a green and purple theme.

I only (successfully) made macaroon once, so my thoughts of putting macaroons on this cake was quite risky, but I had so much egg whites leftover, so I gave it a crack. A bit of green colouring and a bit of purple... few hours later, the green ones were perfect. The purple one... hmmm... to save my reputation, I did not use them since the colour was a bit deep, not as flamboyant. To redeem myself, I used purpled chocolate and drizzled over the macaroons.

After a few hours of hard work, I finished on time :)

A twist of the chocolate panel cake

White chocolate strawberry boxI made this for Dennis' friend. It was for a birthday party. She loves white chocolate and strawberries. Since I was making the strawberry cake like a daily chore. I thought I would use the white chocolate instead of the dark chocolate to make the panels.

It was easy and the colour was perfect!!

Running

My first Mother's Day Classic
In between all the baking and working, my friend and I ran the 4km Mother's Day classic as well.

As a pharmacist, I see a lot of people who have cancer or have family or friends who have cancer. With the fundraising, I hope the research will one day find a cure! Or I pray that people will run to Jesus, who has the power to do miracles and has the healing power to cure all the sickness and disease. Nothing that is impossible for HIM!!

Sustenance

Something naughty, something fun!After a wonderful workout at the gym, I thought I deserved something NICE - naughty ice cream XD.

I mixed some leftover caramel sauce with some vanilla ice-cream, a scoop of that... and a scoop of peanut butter ice-cream and a scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream. The healthy part of this is the banana - the energy food after a workout... and a few of the leftover KitKat from the swimming pool :))) and I present you my very own banana sundae.

I had to make a cake the next day for a customer.
I had a bit of fun with the leftovers cake lids... so I made a pac-man cake.

Swimming pool part 2

After the successful swimming pool project, I was commissioned for a second one. This time is for a 50th birthday. This guy likes swimming and participated in a number of triathlon. So the cake needs to be slightly more sophisticated compared to the previous one.

I added some markings on the buttom of the pool... and a spa...

A ladder to the pool was under contruction...



The swimming pool from the top view



After a few hours, the palm tree has grown... the pool is filled with jelly... a few signs were up... a diver, swimmer... a guy in the spa!! Coooool :)







Wedding Anniversary

50th Wedding Anniversary for a lovely couple
It has been a while since I uploaded my blog. I was caught up with making the cakes and taking the photos, but not blogging...This cake was actually made in the end of April (v_v", so it was a while ago)...

Anyway, the daughter of the couple wanted a simple but gold and delicate cake. I simply iced the cake with vanilla butter cream. Piped golden white chocolate around the cake.
