Cakes for Dec

It was a busy-busy month...with Christmas and my birthday just a week after ;)....and also job searching (still). I had a good Christmas, and I hoped everyone did too. I managed to get a few cakes out in Dec but by my birthday time, I thought I will just go simple...with cupcakes. Hubby got me a cupcake recipes book for Christmas and of cos I have to try the recipes out!

Emily's Girly-Monkey Cake

This is a 6" vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream covered with pink fondant.

Baked Pistachio cake with Honey buttercream

I baked this just because I want to try out the recipe and we have someone over for the weekend. It was pretty expensive and a lot of work. For me, shelling the pistachios and grinding them to powder is a bit too much work ;p

Well anyway, I iced the cake, tied a ribbon around it..and attached my 1st Anemone and voila!

Halloween birthday cake and...

... my first cake disaster!!! I have not been blogging for a while - Just been busy with drs, housework (yucks) and party-planning for the holidays! I did my 1st Halloween cake, which was also a birthday cake. My dr's only requirement was "scary" and so I baked some witch fingers for a test-run...like it a lot and voila - here is my halloween birthday cake.

 Everything else was made of fondant and the spider webs were piped with royal icing.

And my first cake disaster pic...sigh. It was supposed to be a 2 tiers cake decorated with calla lilies. It wasn't for anyone....just for my cake class but did want to bring it to my friend's Halloween party that night. Oh well, learnt something new from this disaster...but I did managed to salvage the top!

Thankgiving Day birthday cake

I almost forgot about this cake. It was done together on the Thanksgiving weekend and my favourite cake so far. It was for someone who loves pink, dogs and shopping. It is a very rich chocolate cake with chocolate ganache.

Witch fingers

I baked these because I want to see how it will turn out and the main purpose is to use these fingers for my Halloween Birthday cake, which will be in 2 weeks time. I kinda have an idea on how I want to incorporate them onto the cake..but I just have to confirm on other decor that I can use for the cake before I start my decor-making. I will probably make them green and thinner..
 ;)

These are the cakes I have done for the Thanksgiving weekend. I was busy with appts and what not, thus the late posting. Enjoy!!
