Starting My Cakery

Published on May 4, 2016 by sweetsourmoments3 Comments

I just started my cakery recently. It started after I made the chocolate lace birthday cake for my husband. A friend of mine wanted to order one. Here is the picture of that cake that became the milestone 🙂

I also made custom buttercream cakes beside the standard chocolate lace that has become a hit.

This is succulent cake, all swiss buttercream decor, enjoyed making this very much.

The Pink Rose anniversary cake which was inspired by David Austin rose I have in my garden.

This is the dress I made for my daughter’s 3rd birthday, the ladybug dress. Also made the ladybug cake for the birthday party, check it here: https://sweetsourmoments.com/2016/02/16/ladybug-birthday-cake/

Bought this ladybug fabric and buttons from Jo-ann almost a year ago, aren’t they cute?

Can’t believe she is three, how come?

Flower Bouquet Valentine Cake

Published on February 17, 2016 by sweetsourmoments3 Comments

I’m definitely in cake decorating mood, as you can see this is my 3rd post in a row… well I just started learn about it and find out that decorating with buttercream is so much fun.

The church community I involve in had a valentine luncheon last sunday, and I brought this cake as part of the celebration. Since the very beginning this cake was all about its decoration, I focused mostly on how it looked like than how it tasted like 🙂 … I wanted to use this cake as my learning canvas for some buttercream flower techniques I saw in pinterest. As you will see, there are variation of flowers and colors.

For the decoration portion alone I spent almost 4hours, major part was in mixing and testing the color. What can I say, I really enjoyed it.. didn’t feel that long when you did something that you like.

I’m pretty happy with the look 🙂

Happy Valentine, hope this inspires you!

Ladybug Birthday Cake

Published on February 16, 2016 by sweetsourmomentsLeave a comment

As I said before, I don’t have many occasions to make a cake that I can experiment with the cake decoration… so making this cake for my little one 3rd birthday was a big deal to me, not only because I got the chance to decorate it but also because this was the 1st time for me to make her birthday cake. For her 3rd birthday cake, the theme is ladybug… I also made her dress with ladybug theme, I will post it later.

This was my 1st time to make fondant figure, ladybug… got the idea from pinterest. Lesson: wear gloves when mixing the color, it’s hard to clean once it stains our hands especially with red and black color.

The buttercream I used was American buttercream which is mixture of butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. I’m happy with the final result, more important I’m happy that my daughter loved it.
