To cut a long story short, my sister Elin passed me this unusual order for a fondant engagement cake, which was ordered by a young woman named Shalia. Shalia was getting engaged on Saturday the 7th of July. This cake was for her engagement function, not as hantaran. As this cake was meant to be served to her guests, she requested for a large cake. As for the colour theme, we were forwarded with a picture of her engagement kebaya. After some discussions on the cake design, all of us settled for a cake design by Cupcakes Confetti. Elin rang Anita for her permission to copy the design, who was kind enough to give us some tips and advice too. Thank you Anita and Anissa for being such great sports and mentors.
The 14" cake was vanilla butter cake, with buttercream filling and covered with fondant. The gumpaste roses were of different design from my handmade usual roses. It took us 2 days to do this much of flowers due to the size of the cake. We made grey and white pebbles as borders at the foot of the cake and finished it with a big silver ribbon.
It was quite late when the cake was finished, Shalia arrived at 11pm as promised. It was lovely to meet her, what a pleasant young lady! Selamat bertunang Shalia dan pasangan!
