Father's Day Cake & Ice-Cream Cake version 2

It has been weeks since I've last updated this blog. Also, It's been weeks that I've not done any baking pojects.



Well, what can I say.... I needed a break, simply a break!



Now, my first project after the much-needed break was this... a Father's Day cake for my dear second-half. Just a simple butter-pandan cake, without all the trimmings (icing?) for the ...errr... more 'matured' Father *smile*. Of course, the more we aged, the more we need to be concerned about the food we eat...

Happy Father's Day dear... (first time we celebrate this occasion too....:) ).


Of course, the cake was requested by our lovely daughter, Dalilah. I can always count on her to remind me when to bake a cake. Even on yours truly's own birthday... *sigh**smile*

Because the Father's Day cake was a bit boring (errr, I mean...well... not decorated), I would like to....ahem, ahem... 'show off' this belated entry... my second try on ice-cream cake and whipped cream topping. For this cake, I decorated the cake with piping jelly (the web design) - my first piping jelly project.

This time around, I brought the cake to my mum's. As usual, ice-cream cakes are more well-received by everybody (yummy!), but, in our hot weather, we have to finish it quickly, lest it will melt. Nobody wants to eat a 'runny' cake!

The piping jelly was fabulous. I would like to try out more on piping jelly decorations after this. But, guess I need to practise more on whipped cream topping. Mine fell 'flat', not 'fluffy' enough...

Happy Birthday Zarif, Hasif & Mr Papa!

This is the most glamorous birthday bash that my family ever had.

Not one, not even two, but THREE cakes were cut on the eventful day, 30th May 2009, exactly on Zarif's birth date. Hasif's was 11th May, but since their birthday was on the same month, so we decided a 2 in 1 celebration.

Then, came Mr Papa whose birth date falls on 1st June. Can he join the celebration too? asked Mrs Papa, thru SMS. Why not, I replied, since Mr Papa is my own dear brother!

So, we had a 3 in 1 birthday celebration, at last!

Let's have a look on the baking projects for this occasion...

Below is the 3D Spongebob Squarepants cake for Hasif contributed by my SIL. Our eyes nearly popped off looking at this creation.... sooo creative....

This is also baked and decorated by my SIL, for Zarif and Mr Papa. It's so neat, really like the ones I see at the bakery shops....

Last but not least, my own creation.... a soccer-themed marble cake.
