The SANTA CLAUS WITH PREZZIES & SNOWMAN

I am making the santa clause and snowman for my christmas log, this is my first time making santa claus and I am a bit worry because I  am afraid that it wont look like santa clause hahahahaha
I also include some gifts and candy canes as well, more xmas feel :)
All going good and I have them done in 2 days, including time to dry them up ^^
Anyways, stay tuned for my xmas log, am gonna post in by 12am tonight :)

Assorted Themes Gumpaste Decorations for my cupcakes

For the upcoming cupcakes order, a dozen of vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

And she is after few themes in a dozen of cupcakes (21st birthday with polar bear + hot pink tulips + graduation).

It alright for as I always wanted to work on my gumpaste decorations with cute designs, so here's a great chance! I made the gumpaste decoration like few weeks earlier before so 

that it has enough time to dry up and allow for the clear glaze spraying.

You know one thing that I am so worry when placing the gumpaste decoration

on the cupcakes is that it will absorb moisture from the cream and humidity in

the fridge then goes soft and spoiled :(

I have never make polar bear before, so I google and get some idea.
I made a 2D one with little ears, eyes and nose pus a bit of pink blush on the cheek to make it
looks cuter :p
Do you think it looks cute???

21st Birthday theme decorations for the cupcakes.
The number doesnt look that pretty as I cut it out by using a knife over a stencil, because my number
cookie cutter is smaller so I have to print out a bigger one and cut it out manually.

Graduation theme with red and green mortarboard and scrolls, what a Christmas feel colour hahahahaha
Actually she want olive green, but yea the closer colour I can make is is, just so match with the nearby Xmas celebration and I think the colour looks good :)

Piped Ganache Rose

Okay, I know I gotta learn how to pipe roses using either cream or butter cream.
For future orders, I really don't want to mould the roses petal by petal,
so I guess by piping them is more convenient & easy & less time consuming ^^
So I watched a lot of videos in youtube, and finally start my first
piped roses by using chocolate ganache.
First attempt, it looks good for me, what do you think??? 

Now I am getting used to it and I found the tricks!

Third one, much much better in looking isnt?
Anyways, gonna do this on my cupcakes and cakes in the future,
hope I can pipe it better and better after more practises :)
Gambateh~~~~~

Mango Rose

Mango season is here!
I am gonna make mango cheesecake very soon so stay tuned.
But before that I need to get some mangoes and do
some practise on the mango rose.
I know its not hard but still wanna give it a try :) 

It wasn't that hard as I thought, but still need to give is a smooth and shinny finish
when I am doing this on my cake!

Hello Kitty Chocolate Drawing

This piece of chocolate is for the decoration of the cake
for my customer's orders.
New challenge for me but everything go on
fine, not perfect but almost ^^

Playing with chocolate clay > Chocolate Rose ^^

For some upcoming birthday cakes, I wanted to put some chocolate work.
I made some chocolate clay, and then try on making some roses!
I used to so poor at making roses!

I was having some problem on looking for the light corn syrup at first,
then I found in in Westfield, lucky me!
Well, if I can brush some gold glaze at the edge of the petals, would look more terrific!
Hope my glaze will arrive soon :)

I am very happy with the final outcome.
Can't believe that I did it!
muahahahahahaha
