After 3 lessons of cake decorating where I had learnt the basics of cake decorating.
We are supposed to come up with a design for today's lesson. This theme of under the sea was made by Chloe
Frankly, i only have vague ideas of what I want with no concrete design.
I started making my fondant creatures - corals, fish, crab, candy seashell and starfish over the weekend.
At some point i was so worried that i do have have enough fondant to cover the cake!!
Kneading and rolling 34 oz of fondant into the colour of choice is not easy!!
This cake had the luxury of air con the whole night too ... as humidity is one of its biggest killer (btw i do not sleep in air con ok!!)
This morning when i was decorating it .... i was very glad to have Mong to give me idea on how best to do.
I started with the lower tier to pipe the seaweeds as border.
Next the top tier - making the rock for nemo
Its a cupcake with royal icing - the icing was made to resemble rock
The rest is to put in the sea creature with royal icing ... which was added in randomly
This is my 1st 2 tier fondant cake ..... like many cake decorator said your 1st cake will always have special meaning.
Its so true for me, till now i am still feeling estatic about it!!! For the amount of work and effort, the fruit is definitely sweet
With this cake, I wish to share with you my happiness. Thank you
Special thanks to Mong and all my classmates where we shared resources and help each other
The inside of the cake was made using AUnty Yochana's Butter cake recipe
