Tiffany blue ruffled cake

A simple cake we made for a very pretty lady's 25th birthday.

Happy 25th birthday, Denise! We hope you had an awesome time with your family. Blessings!

Thank you for joining us in this sugary sweet journey!

Three's a party! :D

We recently celebrated three birthdays in our family: our Grandma, Dominga's 70th; Jane's 20-something-th; and, our cousin, Giane's 9th. So, yes, we made three cakes! (Minnies, this time... we didn't want to see lots of left-over cakes.)

Grandma's Cake... inspired by the fruit cake we made last month. The cake is a picture of timeless elegance. Just like our dear Inang (Grandma).

Jane's cake... loosely inspired by Jase + Sarah's wedding cake. The cake reflects Jane's understated elegance. {Oh, heart! lol}

Giane's cake... colourful, fun, vibrant! Just like her! :)

The obligatory group photo :D

And the ladies... blowing candles, making wishes!

To our guests at the party... thank you so much for joining us! Life is definitely more beautiful with you in it! :)

a-Dora-ble cake

And, yet another cake we were busy with this week...

Jane's friend way back in high school asked us if we could make a cake for her beautiful princess, Reisha. She's turning two. She loves Dora!

Here's what we came up with [Joy has been wanting to try painting on cakes for a while now... methinks painting the grass on the cake looks awesome!]

A very happy 2nd birthday to you, Reisha!

Thank you for joining us in this sugary-sweet journey!

A very Tweet cake!

A very tweet cake Joy worked very hard on for this week for a very tweet boyfriend who wanted to give his girlfriend a Tweety bird (her favourite cartoon character) cake! :) We thought it's her birthday. Well, it's not. The boyfriend just wanted to give her a cake. Awww! Soooo tweet!

Isn't tweety cute?! ;p

The Cake - our "pièce de ré·sis·tance" (so far).

This is the meanest, wickedest, heaviest, grandest cake we've ever made so far!

Both tiers are fruit cakes (so yes, it's very heavy). We've never done fruit cakes prior to this (and, we weren't very fond of fruit cakes either). But we're glad that we agreed to take on this challenge... it totally changed us! We now love fruit cakes! {We love it so much we are now about to bake some for Christmas!} And, apparently, everyone at the wedding LOVED it, too!
So, not too bad for a first try, aye?! :p

It's also our very first try at making Singaporean orchids.

The panels and cones are white chocolate.
Add all that chocolate and 5 layers of fruit cake altogether and you get a 9kg wedding cake!

The wedding reception was held at The Auckland Museum.
Here's a photo of the cake while everything was being set up:

And, our fully set-up cake table, complete with its very own spotlight:

Word from the mother of the groom: "Everyone loved the cake! It looked marvelous, it tasted so amazing! Everyone could not believe the flowers weren't real flowers. There were so many guests taking photos of it. I couldn't fault you." Us, very happy! :D
