car on the cake

i know it's been a while since my last post but i made it a point to bake and decorate a cake for my husband's birthday a few weeks ago.

as always i had heaps of fun. that cake topper was not as easy to model as i thought it was. it's supposed to be a mazda mx5 that my husband drive but i don't think it looks like that at all.

anyway, happy baking!

first love...

this blog has nothing to do with first love whatsoever! it's just that i'm still feeling a bit smitten from watching a show about the world's greatest first love. there was just so much falling sakura blossoms on every romantic scenes!

the sakura blossoms reminded me that i've always wanted a decorated cake with sakura tree design. so i attempted to decorate my first ever cake!

so my first blog for this new year is about my first decorated cake!

the colour scheme is inspired by one of my favourite things of 2011:

as for the cake, i've made a vanilla victoria sponge with raspberry and vanilla butter cream filling

i wrote a separate blog for making the sakura blossoms here.

it was my first time decorating a big cake so i took the time to sketch my design:

it was a lot of fun!
