Chinese Theme Wedding Cake - Theresa

Theresa was attracted to the cute figurines for the Chinese Theme Wedding Cake done for Danielle's cousin months ago. She wanted something similar and traditional for her cake. This is what I came out with.
The design of the cake was inspired by Theresa's wedding invitation card which she emailed to me, all the way from Singapore!
Customer's feedback: Hi Faith, the cake looks fabulous! Everyone commented on it. Taste very nice and buttery. Thanks so much! :o)


I took my sweet time and spent hours making the figurines while enjoying the whole process. The end result is really satisfying =D I still enjoyed looking at them while they stood in my house, waiting to be delivered tomorrow.

Seen this head cover/scarf before? Seen this many times in Chinese movies where the bride sits in the newly-weds' room waiting for the groom to come in and lift the head cover? 8D
This one has it half open so that you can see her pretty made-up face, hehe...
Back view for more details.

The double-happiness design is 4-sided.

This is the result of my latest expensive tool collection, a fiber glass impression rolling pin. Boy, it is really costly!!!

I was surprised Izzah has already tasted the cookies since the sms came early in the morning. She said couldn't resist the temptation. Haha...that's good to hear =D

Oops...I forgot to pipe the message on the cake as requested. This was a last minute job :p

Lovely cookies done with fondant and royal icing flowers, putting my newly learned skills into use, haha...

Wilton Method Intensive Cake Decorating Course

I went missing in action for 3 days attending the Wilton Method Intensive Cake Decorating Course 1,2 & 3 from 15th to 17th December. I'd to turn down some orders and make time to learn some hands-on new techniques in cake art.
These are some of the gorgeous work produced by the participants, off course, most of them touched up by the miracle-working instructor from Canada, Ms Rosalind. She could turn any disastrous piece to a gorgeous looking wedding cake. I just marveled at her talent and the speed she was working 8O

Group photo at the end of 3 hardworking days! Too many cameras shooting at the same time, everybody trying hard to focus, hehe...

Yeah, I got the certificates....haha.... (Ms Rosalind on the right)

This was my assignment on the spot. We had to use the methods taught to us during the 3 days and produce a 3-tier wedding cake.

This one too. We were given 1 hour to work on this cake.
