Minion Chiffon

Bello! Minion welcomes 2018. It was an order from a nurse, she wanted a design exactly like my son's cake.

Somehow, i decided to change the design to the above. (to give it a try) *winkz*

Pandan Chiffon Cake

9" / 23cm Pandan Chiffon Cake using 6 whites and 5 yolks. Testing to see if it can be as soft or not.

it is indeed very soft, but i din bake long enough hence there is a dense layer at the bottom. not my ideal kind of chiffon though. 

Rolex Chiffon Cake

my little brother had wished for a rolex watch, the sister here cannot afford, so decided to bake a customised rolex cake for him! haha. I had a fun time planning the design (with the help and coordination of his girlfriend, Magdalene) She gave me the watch design he likes and i went on to customise that the date is 14 (his actual birthday is on 14 September) and time is his time of birth. hehe.

Thank you Mum, Elder brother, Auntie Fion and Magdalene for all the coordination and your time in making this party a surprise for Nicholas. =)

Minion Chiffon Cake

Made a Minion Theme Birthday Party for my son. The cake took me 3 days to bake! I started with the lower tier, which is 23cm (9") it was really tough to do naked look - (no browning by the sides). Then followed by the upper tier, which is 7" (17~18cm). The final day was doing the chiffon sheet, cutting and assembling them together. Because this cake was too tall to be in normal cake box, i put it in a super tall box and cling wrapped up tightly. And because the box was too tall to fit into my fridge (with all the party stuff), the minion had a chance to sleep in my aircon room. LOL!

Some photos of the party:

My DIY dessert table which was prepared a week in advance, i will brief you through. hehe.
