My Fondant cake , watch out, a first timer here

Seems like the fondant was really thick, but what you see is actually the layers of fondant and icing.
看起來好像fondant狠厚 但是其實他是兩層 一層icing一層fondant


OK,so I baked a cake earlier this evening(finally am done w/ my first very scary audition and found time to bake), and yall know that I suck @ icing cakes.
(if yall still remember the cake I made a while ago...it was no bueno)
I always get the crumbs into the icing and it ends up looking all ugly.
So I ran to Michael's and bought some fondant, thinking that , if I'm not gonna ice this cake nice, then I could probably "fondant" it nice. HAHAHAHA
So here is the fondant cake, it start out looking like a very nice wedding cake, all white , w/ an elegant bow on the top.
And yeah, I made the bow too, everything that you see on the cake is made by me!! *proud*
話說今天Millie烤了一顆蛋糕 這是在恐怖的最近 終於考完唱之後找到時間做的
不過 做完之後 想到我實在是狠不會塗icing 每次都會把蛋糕屑給塗進icing去
(如果你們還記得我之前做的蛋糕 就知道有多糟糕了= =)
所以 竟然異想天開的跑去Michael's買了fondant!! (fondant中文是啥母啊?)

M style wedding cake, w/ my sticker on the board.
dang...it looks like a store bought cake because of the sticker...like my own bakery or something..
(the sticker is what I use on my books so I have a bigger chance to get it back when I lost it, and of course, that is if the person who found it is nice enough to do so , however, the printing company print my e-mail address wrong, so they're re-sending me another one)
一開始放上fondant跟比想像中簡單很多的蝴蝶結, 看起來 活就是個結婚蛋糕啊
加上我貼上我的三八貼紙 "Please Return to Mxxxxxxxxxx" 看起來 很像店裡賣的吧
(這個貼紙是Millie用來貼在他的擁有物品上面的 這樣人家撿到才知道還給他 不過印刷的人把e-mail印錯了 所以他們還要重新寄正確的給我哩)

Some nice details
一些小細節

Made a piggy, haha, Miss piggy, WAHAHAHA
now it has turn in to a baby shower cake, LOL
bb girl of course = = ah ahaha
做了一顆粉紅豬
現在他變成嬰兒蛋糕了 哈哈

Miss piggy on the field
豬小姐在草原上

Notice what's different here?
有發現甚麼不一樣了嘛?

Polka dots..haha
what can this be...a sweet 16 cake? hehe
加上圓點之後可以當sweet 16主題的蛋糕了

Starting to mess up the cake, just playing w/ it , trying to be creative
開始亂做了 亂加東西

A cake for your valentine , you're more than welcome to place an order since the Valentine's day is just around the corner.
Just leave a comment with your contact information . Thank you
LOL..I'm so random..
現在他變成一個情人節蛋糕了!!
歡迎訂購 我會算便宜的 哈哈

putting on a cute skirt for the cake
幫蛋糕加上華麗的裙子

The final product ..I guess this isn't too bad for a first timer and a person who's never received any training/education on baking and pastry...
and if it is not because of the tiredness that's growing on me, I might just keep on playing w/ it, but I'm just so exhausted..so I guess I'll call it a day.

oh... forgot to mention that it is plain sponge cake with raspberry jam filling = )
這就是他最後演化的樣子了 其實我還可以玩更久 但是實在是狠狠狠累了= =
所以就這樣吧~~對一個第一次接觸fondant跟沒有學過烘培的人 這樣的結果應該是沒有狠差吧我想
然後 這個蛋糕是海綿蛋糕夾心覆盆子醬口味的

whew~~~ 說要搞bilingual blog是沒錯 但是要打兩種語言還真累人 = 9

Woohoo! Love the bowl! You are so gutsy for doing a fondant cake! I am looking forward to its sister cakes =)

Do you always take pictures at night?! They look kind da dark. Try taking it in natural light & you’ll transform your great creations to extraoridinary!

Hey Vi,
Yep, I do think I'm crazy , having the guts to make a fondant cake. And inputing the same stuff in two languages is a bit crazy for me since English isn't my mother language. = D

I do always take picture at night , and the pictures always turn out so dark!
I just consulted a photographer yesterday, and he agreed to help me on the photo takings.
However, he some how persuaded me in to buying a DSRL camera, so I guess I'll start taking lessons.
But I'm not sure if it is really necessary.
You take very very beautiful pictures, did you take them w/ a usual digital cam or a DSRL?

Venus ~ Vi said...

Hi Hi~

I use a good old point and shoot Canon D600 but am considering buying a DSLR camera =) The camera is affordable but lens for the camera @_@''

A DSLR camera is a good investment and a must if you are passionate about taking pictures. I must warn you, that it is a hobby of serious money burning >o<

Milli said...

yeah...that's what I heard too!!
something like once you got the hang of it , you'd want to invest on more lens, and those lens are very very pricy ..........
