Realizing a Dream

My toughest challenge to date - this Barbie cake. My regular customer, Farah gave me a Barbie doll and begged me to do a Barbie cake for her. I went berserk at first thinking the amount of work and ingenuity required to do this cake but I dived in head first all the same seeing that I am sucker for challenges. Yeap, throw them at me, straight or curved, I'll do my ultimate best to catch it irregardless how I do it - terbalik ke, tertonggeng ke, I'll give my 150% best effort.


This is one heavy and hefty cake. I had to bake four butter cakes to make it high enough to reach Barbie's waist. Baking the cakes itself required three hours of work. The decoration part? Four hours straight!! I referred to countless of Barbie pictures trying to get one that satisfied my vision of a sweet and simple design.


At last, I came up with this. What you see here is my own design, inspired by countless of Barbie's ball gown. Under the pink fondant is a mountain of a butter cake layered with apple jam and vanilla buttercream.

This Barbie cake weighs in at 4 kg. The price? Please email or call me for a consult and I'll quote you a price based from the consultation.


Thank you very much Farah for giving me this opportunity and thus proving to myself that I can finally do a Barbie cake. I sincerely hope you have realized your dream and I know I've realized mine.

Going Swirly

This is another design that has got a stream of fans. It started with an order from MummyChomel and now it has a cult following. I for one, am not complaining because I love doing swirls. They're so simple but yet look so sweet.


Chocolate moist cupcake with dark chocolate ganache swirl. I love the lethal combination of these two.

Butter vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream swirl. You should just smell the aroma when it is baking! Just heavenly!!

Ordered by my favorite but very demanding customer, JJay. Jangan marah aaa... nanti kena jual hehehhe...
