Winx Inspired Novelty Birthday Cake ordered by Pn Siti Hasnah of Shah Alam

My last decorative cake order, before Hari Raya Aidilfitri. I am stopping for a while so I can concentrate on making Hari Raya Choc Chip cookies and Kek Buah Kukus. To my patrons, not to worry, I'll be back doing decorative cakes again one week after raya. In fact I am foreseeing a very busy end of year, as half of my slots in Nov and Dec have been booked for the wedding season. I sincerely hope to be able to accommodate all of you, but there are only so much orders that I can take, so start booking your dates now ya!

 

Siti is a returning customer who ordered a Princess Carriage cake for her daughter's birthday last year. This year I had the pleasure to do Aina's birthday cake again. I was glad to be told by Aina's dad that she and her kindy friends had enjoyed the carriage cake so much that they (Siti and hubby) decided to order from GG Home Biz again this year.

 The theme chosen for Aina's cake this year is "Winx Fairy". This is quite a challenge for me, as for me fairy figurines are more daunting than superhero ones. Nevertheless, with some ideas provided by Siti, I gave my best to make the figurine as fairy-like as possible. Of course, without the fairy face mould I could never achieve the exact look of a Winx girl. Think I've gotta surf for fairy mould suppliers-lah sooner or later... An order for fairies does not come by often, and these moulds can be quite expensive. In fact this had only been the 3rd "fairy themed" cake I've made so far. So when an order like this comes, I can only promise to make them look as fairy-like as possible, if not exactly.

 A customer like Siti is very easy to work with, other than sending pictures as reference, the rest were really up to me. It's always exciting when a customer believes in you and gives you the freedom to be creative.

 Siti ordered a rainbow cake as the base, baked it early this morning right after sahur. Started working with the fondant at noon and finished exactly at 5pm. The figurine had been made 2 days earlier. Learning from past experiences, always give ample time for cake orders with figurines. Even then, I had to engage the help of superbibik and sis Elin so that I can finish before the promised pickup time.

 

 Siti came with her husband and cute little Aina who got all excited after she saw the cake. I understand that the cake is for Aina's birthday celebration at school tomorrow. I truly hope that Aina will have an unforgettable 5th birthday celebration. It was lovely to meet this young family (didn't get to meet Siti last year, for some reason), I do hope that Siti will continue to patronize GG Home Biz, as it's been pleasure baking for her. :)

A message received from Siti the next day which made my Monday blues dissapear: "The cake was marvelous. My daughter and her friends loved it very much. Tq!".  :)

Transformers (Edible Image) Rainbow Cake with Italian Buttercream ordered by Pn Shida Razak of Taman Sri Gombak

I generally dislike buttercream cakes. But this cake is an exception. Rainbow Cake has a rich, dense and buttery texture that makes it potently addictive, well, for me-lah. :) And its Italian Buttercream is just the perfect match. Rich, fragrant and less sweet. The combination is a match made in heaven!

A childhood friend, Shida ordered this rainbow cake for her son's birthday. She initially requested the cake for Saturday, but I've already commited to Dila to do Canisha's butterfly fairy cake. So the date of pickup was shifted to Sunday. Saturday was quite a busy day at my house, as my front neighbour Pakcik Osman was having majlis cukur jambul for his granddaughter and he had tents set up connected to our house, and I've another set of order for steamed caramel and bread butter puddings that same evening.

I started baking the 6 layer cakes late Saturday night. Started working on the buttercream the next morning. Shida came around in the afternoon to pickup the cake, she came with her mom to my delight.

Cik Zah was my babysitter during my primary years in the mid 80's. Her late husband Pakcik Razak was a kind, gentle man. I had many happy memories growing up under their care. I remember that my sister Ain and I used to sleepover at her house on pasar malam nights, learned how to ride the bicycle without trainer wheels from Shida's younger brother Najib (the funny thing was, at the time Najib didn't even know how to ride a bike! He used to hold our bikes so we could have balance before letting go with a push and plenty of cheering, so cute...), from Cik Zah's children we learned to eat maggi laksa mixed with a bit of rice, but what I remember most is Cik Zah's ikan masak kicap and kuih samprit, and how she'll make them often as she knew how much I enjoy them. Now that I think of it, I do miss our younger days "transitting" at the police barracks... Ahhh... The good old days...

 

Back to the cake, Shida told me that Iwan loved his Transformer's themed cake so much that he kept guard beside it. Whenever his mom cuts it, he will remind her not to cut the face of Bumble Bee. He's so cute! It was a coincidence too that I chose Bumble Bee image for this cake. Apparently this was his favourite Autobot. Happy Birthday little Iwan! Enjoy your wonder years while you can (hehe...). May Allah bless you always!

This is a one of a kind custom ordered cake. Fara ordered this cake for her son's majlis cukur jambul. The theme was turquoise and shocking pink. The base was rainbow cake, filled with Italian Buttercream, the outer frosting was American crusting buttercream. I made the figurine of a sleeping baby as the topper and decorated around the side of the cake with baby themes.
