Wedding cake : Lace in full bloom

Oh where do I start for this weekend's order ? The bride was an absolutely lovely lady who chose the theme of pastel pink, green and lace for her wedding theme. She had a unique taste for something simple yet elegant and whimsical at the same time. I love such challenges as it gives me a chance to really stretch my imagination and come up with a cake which meets the bride's expectations! So after several discussion via emails, messages and exchange of photographs - I finally figured out how to put the whole theme together.

Barnyard Animals !

For this week's order, little Isabelle's mummy left it to my "imagination" to create any cake. Only request was for it to be "girly" and cute. I love it when I get to do any cake I fancy.. and so I decided on the theme of Barnyard Animals. I made a little bo-peep, a sweet pink cow and a miniature horsey. With every animal I completed, it just brought a smile on my face cos they were just so adorable! I wanted to create a cute barnyard party atmosphere so I added cute little ducks, tiny balloons and of course, a rainbow :)

My Little Twin Stars

This week's order brought back lovely childhood memories - which girl born in the 70-80s can forget - Kiki and Lala! :) I remember having a heart shaped Little Twin Stars sticker book which I brought everywhere with pride.  Little Twin Stars pencil case, bags, hankies .. you name it, I think I had it!
So when the order for a Little Twin Stars cake came, it just brought a huge smile to my face ! Unfortunately I didn't have my SLR this weekend and so here's the best I could get of the cake with my iphone 4. The cake was for her little daughter's birthday, ohh.. how I which my mum had such a cake for me then.. I'd have gone crazy! :)

Pretty Potty

This week's order was from my friend's hubby who was planning a surprise party for her! I asked him what he would like for his wife - he thought about it for many days... but he was still completely clueless!
So I tried to figure out what she likes, her hobbies etc.. well she's in the finance industry too, so I guess making her a money-related cake would really put her off (ha!). So I figured since she's been very enthusiastic about flowers, gardening and growing green fingers... a pot of white roses would be the perfect cake for her!

Oh my HERMES !

HERMES was the order of the day and this was a challenge indeed! The lady who ordered the cake for her mum wanted a very specific colour and type of HERMES bag.. Hermes Birkin in Matte Poro Crocodile in Blue Brighton !
So this is how it looks (once again had to get a reference from the internet as it is waayyy.. above what I can afford)
