Taekwondo Girl Cake
Tidious work on the hair. The hands and feet were fondant & gumpaste mixed. They were not dry enough for me to put the toothpick on to the cake due to the very humid weather we've been having. So... I just glue them up to the arm and there you have it folks! :D The face is a big wierd looking ha..ha..

Flooded Collar, Brush Embroidery, Pipe Embroidery, Bridge, And Lace Technique
Lots Technique use for this cake. The Flooded Collar .. you gotta work fast on this one. The Bridge base is actually 7 layers. The lines of the bridge is using tube #1, Laces - traced on to the wax paper and then put on top with slight angle. It's an old-school way to do cake and it's a lot hard work. Pheeyuuu... the hard work was worth it because i got and 'A' on this one! ha..ha.. :D

Oriental String Work
Oriental String work is very dainty, very tidious but worth to try at least once in your lifetime. This technique need to have the cake flip upside down in order to do the stand up icing [royal icing]. This is a dummy cake. Can't really do it with the real cake unless.. it is a very firm cake like fruit cake or any type of dense cake.

Pregnant Belly Cake
This was a baby shower cake. It was fun to make this cake. I actually used 2 type of pans just for the belly. The daisy flower made from gumpaste and dusted with some pearl powders. The little shoes were also made from gumpaste and take few days to dry. The ribbon that just under the boobs were patterned - using the #3 tip from wilton. :D Appreciate any feedback from y'all!! Thank you!!

Pretty Bows
Top bows were made from fondant + tylose. I thought the top bows were pretty good; however, i don't like the ribbon that overlaps the other ribbons - makes it look very bulky. I hate my writing - next time i will use the fondant letter cutter or use the real icing instead. Overall,... not too bad.. always have room to improve ofcourse! :D

Coffee & Donut
This is actually my homework cake. The fondant covering was a bit tricky. I was actually roll the fondant on the cake instead of the usual covering it from the top. The moveable lid was made from gumpaste moulded by the real lid from starbucks :D. The donut also made from cake [NOT from donut store] covered by chocolate fondant and top up with icing and edible candies

Frosty The Snow Man
The head is a green tea cake and the body is chocolate & lemon cake. The scarf was a bit dissapointing b/c it was thin and fragile - you notice it breaks easily. The cake board was a bit too big so I did a patch-up instead of rolling the whole board. Overall, i thought it's pretty cute. :D
