For this cake, I used two 8" cakes (for height purposes) and layered, iced and decorated them with chocolate ganache. I then topped the cake with non-dairy whipping cream and drew Pooh's picture with chocolate buttercream. Later, I filled in the picture with colored piping jelly.
Sounds easy eh?! NOT!!! I started at 10 am and only managed to finish it close to 2 pm. Can you believe that there was a power cut in between! That almost got me into a panic attack! Luckily I've just finished beating my whipped cream and I had baked the cake the night before. Kalau tak... pengsan!!!
I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Given that this was my first cartoon character cake and it took me long painstaking hours to complete it, I am very happy with my work. Zareef went green with envy when I told him that the cake was for his schoolmate's sister and not his. He went into pouting mode but not for long when I told him that I'll make another cake with his favorite Ben 10 on it.Now, looking at the pictures, I'm proud of my work. Yes, it was tiring and irritatingly tricky, but, I enjoyed every second of doing it.
To order this cake with any cartoon characters on it, it will be RM 35 per kg (this cake was 2 kg). And please, an early notice would be very much appreciated!
