Amour en Rose et Argenté

Another busy week at Sugar Penguin Cakery!  Lovely roses for a dear friend's wedding.  I have known Vionna and David for a while now.  Such a lovely couple with so much love for each other.  Vionna has been my biggest supporter and she even helped me to open the door for fun classes.  Very thankful for this brilliant and beautiful girl.  I am very fortunate to have known these two lovebirds.

Vionna showed me her inspiration picture and it was from one of my cake idols, Tracy James of Cotton and Crumbs (UK).  I love Tracy's signature vintage roses and her Cakemasters' online tutorial has been helping me tremendously in achieving this particular style of rose.  The cake inspiration that she showed me had lots of beautiful applique.  Though it's beautiful, I really wanted to have my own style in the cake.  I opted for a beautiful stencil from Gateaux, Inc. and we hand-piped to outline the stencil with royal icings.  Lots of works, but at the end I was VERY, VERY happy to how this cake turned out.  

The D-day turned to be one of those magical days!  No rain in the forecast, no scorching heat either... It was just a lovely, overcast day, with a delicate sun.  Simply magical!

And the icing on the cake was when the lovely bride, email me the next day:

"... thank you so much for the cake! We loved it...a lot! It was gorgeous..."

Totally made my day!!

CONGRATULATIONS, Vionna and David!

A Romance in Pink

This wedding cake is my recent labor of love. I am grateful that I am surrounded by my wonderful friends and understanding families:  my dear husband who always cope up with me during cake time, my two boys who would not touch any of my cake stuffs, and my dear friend, Neha, who always there for me in my cake journey!  BIG bear hugs to all of you!

This cake is for a dear friend who I used to work with. I met and hired her when she was just in university. Not only she is beautiful, but she is brilliant and very down-to-earth. I am honored and privileged that Pary chose me and wanted me to be a part of her special day. Pary showed me her inspiration pictures and what elements that she loved for her wedding cake. She chose this romantic and dreamy wedding cake. We did a final adjustment by adding some lustre on the cake. I paired the lustre with muted white for the pearls and cameo. The sugar flowers: roses and hydrangeas, also kept very subtle and muted. Some silver dragees were added to add some sparkle and bling to the cake.

The best part is when you got the message from the bride the next day and said how perfect the cake was!
" ... The cake was so perfect - thank you so much! The cake was beautiful and delicious!.."
