Mother's Day and Birthdays! and Birthdays!

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, Aunts, Nana, Nini and to all the mother's and mother's to be out there!!

Above: Original Brownie with a little touch to make it prettier for mother's day with carnations. I loved how the carnations turned out.. If i'm not mistaken thats the 'mother's day' flower.

Below: This was an order for a client who wanted handbags, shoes and jewelry on the cake... I have to confess- i suck at making lil'bags n shoes n jewelry.. Note to self: to practice making them!! But i'm really happy with the turn out though. I hope my client liked it too!!

Bothe tiers were white chocolate mud cake. Top tier had strawberries smothered in white chocolate ganache for the filling.. Yum!

Below: This cake is one of my best so far.. I really loved making it for hubby's cousin and nephew!!

It's a double celebration cake: Wafiq turned 5 on Sunday and his daddy's birthday is the day after. "Happy Birthday!!"

Round cake is chocolate mud cake and square cake is chocolate fudge cake.

The figurines are of Rahimin on the phone (as usual... haha) with his sons Wafiq and Hazeeq in Manchester United outfits with their names on the backs of their tops- their daddy's favorite team! And lil'presents filled the top of the cake because it was a little spacey... hehe

Note: I think the cake would have had more fab! if the cakes were actually a little bit taller..hmm... i think i like tall cakes... huhu.. Gives me an idea for my dad's cake.. but still lost on the design side... sigh... ...

Below: Wooow... i almost forgot about this one!! Remember the '1' tin i blogged about previously?! Well a client came up with another fabulous idea.. {Okay i admit when it comes to certain things like football, cars... i get lost! But the good news is.. theres Google =D } So she said why not use the '1' cake because her bf is a goal keeper (so his jersey is #1) Woohoo!! Another reason to use the tin!! And he supports Barcelona.. Once i googled thattt... *BAM* i thought of this design below.. And she said she really liked it *Yay* Thanks again babe! =)

So i've had quite a few enquiries about pricing for cakes and figurines and modelings etc...

Here's a quick brief to give you a rough idea of what pricing is based on. I know for some of you, you wonder why some cakes cost a lot.. I used to wonder this as well- back in the day when I was clueless about cakes and cake decorating!

Cake prices vary from the size/flavour of the cakes, the design, time it takes to make (it's very time consuming), other variables for the designs effects- like sprinkles, frostings, fillings etc...

Figurines are something else all together. They are cute and add characteristics to cakes. They depend on the individuals and are quite unique in their designs and details. Quite time consuming as well.

Modeling on the other hand like animals, fairies, toadstools etc.. depending on their sizes and how much detailing goes into them, colours used, time to make... etc..

I hope this gives an insight into pricing and isn't too confusing.. Best thing to do is email me/call me =)
