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*

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. =)

Blossom Chiffon

This is my fourth time making the Blossom Chiffon Cake. 

First attempt for my MIL

Second attempt from a customer

Third attempt for Emily's daughter, Faith, and since i decided to name it Blossom.

Sorry bad lighting.

Day 2: baking of the chiffon sheets. There are Pandan, Vanilla, Strawberry flavours for different colours.

Day 3: forming the flowers

Day 1, had to bake the base first. The above base is made from Valrhona Cocoa Powder, 17cm tube pan.

Breakfast

The kids had an enjoyable staycation at Sengkang.

The above breakfast was prepared by yours truly. hehe!

I love staying in my mum's kitchen, very spacious working top and the floor is so clean that i dare to lie on it.

Emoji Chiffon 9"

Baked this 9" chiffon in a tube pan, needless to say. Tried to cover up the hole in the middle, however there is slight colour differentiation. Nevertheless, i tried my best, hope the birthday boy likes it. 

The mummy sent me a picture of her request above.

Using fondant seems very pretty, every part is so smooth. But honestly speaking, i'm not a fan of fondant. I rather have a chiffon designed cake as it is healthier.

Proceeded to do the planning on the parts to bake.

I don't deny baking chiffon is tough, and is really tough. Especially when you need to do such customised cake. It has to be naked looking (no browning) and planning (which part to bake + how much) in order to minimise wastage. Lastly is the cutting and assembly part. 

Happy Birthday, Leo!

Thanks mummy for sending me a picture of Leo with the cake:

Yellow Vanilla Chiffon 7"

the night before i made a 9" yellow chiffon. The above was a 7" / 17cm Yellow Vanilla Chiffon.

Tried Jeannie's method to do double layer tube pan while baking. Because this tube pan always give me the browning effect. I guess it worked!

30mins and so on, due to steam baking, it took about 1hr 45mins.. 

Yellow Vanilla Chiffon 9"

It has been sometimes since i last bake a 23cm / 9" Chiffon Cake. The above is just plain vanilla flavour with Wilton Yellow Food Gel.

Very happy with the height. This cake takes super long to bake, probably i need more practices. =)
