This cake is for my lovely niece Gwen In who turned 8 last Saturday.
She loves HSM, and specifically asked for a HSM birthday cake. I gladly obliged. But this will probably be the last time I make a icing image cake unless I can find a more reliable printer. *
Happy Birthday Fortunately, her smile and appreciation made all the efforts worthwhile!
Since Sheen had some free time on Sat morning, we decided to make some choc coated marshmellow for the small party!HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEETEST GWEN IN!
********************
My grouse:
For some reason still unknown to me me, the lady whom I ordered the icing image (with pre-payment) decided to do a disappearing act on the day of appointment. I waited for 2 hours at the workshop near her bugis... Thanks to her neighbouring shop who was kind enough to offer me a seat in his comfy shop that I was spared of the oppressive heat.
She is an on-line baker who have just set up her business, and I wanted to order from her to support her enterprising causes. Now I think I am just too gullible: Her charges ain't a cent cheaper than the more established store, and I had to make interbank transfer first.
All these are trivial now. I was left to fumble and scramble to fulfil my niece's birthday wish!!! I joking told a colleague, when push comes to shove I will print out the picture on the A4 paper. Just tear it off before cutting the cake. hahaha :-)
Very beautiful birthday cake. Are those letterings come with the icing image?
ReplyDeleteAnncoo,
ReplyDeleteThanks for always being so encouraging!
The letterings are made from fondant using the alphabet cutter. Only the image within the inner circle is printed icing image.
This is a constraint as the icing is slightly smaller than A4 size, while the cake is 12".
Cheers.
The choc coated marshmellow look super tempting
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the wonderful looking and great tasting cake! The ordeal you have to go thru is horrible. Sorry to have put you thru it.
ReplyDeleteNext time just make the cake with your own decorating skills. They are good enough for show. No need to resort to icing image which cost a bomb and not nice to eat at all... 花钱买罪受，何苦！
YY,
ReplyDeleteAll kiddos love these marshmellows!
muimui,
the joy it brings to Gwen In is priceless!!!
Beautiful cake!

ReplyDeleteThanks... with the icing image, it is easier to create nice for design-challenged baker like me!
Ha you must tell me which shop coz bugis is near to my place. I definitely don't want to stress myself with such service.
ReplyDeleteBTW, nice cake.
