Whooo Whoo Owl Buttercream transfer technique:)

This Buttercream transfer technique opens up a world of decorating ideas. 
It makes decorating specific themes, characters etc a whole lot easier. 
All you need is: 
-Piping Bags, Tips #3, #2, #1 depending on how fine you need to pipe the details you can adjust the tip.
-xerox copy of the image you want to have on your cake.
note: make your image the exact size you want to have on your cake
- reverse the image if it is a face such as thomas the tank or doing some kind of action. so by the time you flip your buttercream transfer over, it will be facing the right way.

-Buttercream in all the colors you want to put onto your transfer
 And if you don't have time to make different colors, you can also use  Wilton ready to use buttercream in individual colors. That'll save you heaps of time.

Tape your image onto your cake board and then tape a piece of wax paper over it. 
Then pipe away:)
I like to do the outline first and then all the lil eensy weensy details such as polka dots and the little twinkle on the eyes. 
Slowy go over each section layer by layer
Tip: If you find your buttercream smears when piping other colors, put your image into the freezer for about a minute to set it slightly hard. Then when you pipe over it you will not smear any of the colors and get a very clean finish.
 After piping, place your transfer into the freezer for about 5-10 minutes
once you take it out, flip it and slowly peel off the wax paper. 
Tah Dah!!! 
yes, its that easy:)
You may place your transfer on your cake immediately. If you are not going to use it right away, place it into the freezer in an airtight container until you need it. 
Remember you can use the transfer on just about any cake. 
Fondant, Buttercream or Whipped cream. 
It's absolutly amazing.
Give it a go, it'll be life changing.

Feelin Organic Today

We had the joy of making a fabulous cake for Fresh Line Organics
We highlighted everything about thier company logo on a 3 tier cake. 

Lavender, Honey Comb, baby Daises, Oranges nuts, Olives and other organic goodies were all made with Gum paste
Here is some Orange Gum paste
 
I rolled into an orange shape added some texture detailing and Tah Dah 
Its not looking like a happy orange right now
 
I added some orange pedal dust and as you can see the one on the right is
so much yummier than the one on the left. 
  
Its even yummier when the oranges are sliced and ready to eat:)
   
Here's a close up of our Gum paste lavender, honey comb, olives and other goodies
All the guests also got to enjoy a variety of pastel colored yummy in the tummy cupcakes.

Wedding Couple Alien Cake

I don't think many of you out there have ever heard of an Alien Cake.
If you have, you were probably one of the friendly aliens who attended this wedding party.
We were asked to make a wedding space ship cake for this out of this world couple

They apparently had matching alien costumes.
Can we say perfect love birds:)

Who said aliens don't exist????

Cola Bubbles and Disco Ball Cake

Its been a glorious and eventful week.
We got a call from Australia requesting for a Coca-Cola Zero cake.
Not only that, the request was made the night before the event.
YEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeYAOZAAAAAAzzz. Yup the night before.
We usually don't accept orders with such short notice.
But, since the call was made from Australia. We could not leave someone without a cake to celebrate with in Hong Kong. So we went on full throttle and finished off the cake just in the nick of time.
Tah Dah.....

We had a blast doing this cake.

We were also apart of a Disco themed party.
There's nothing better than a disco ball cake for this boogie party.
We tiled the entire cake with sparkly disco tiles about 2cm each square.
Seriously, it was like doing the rubix cube.
And when we finished putting all the disco tiles on. It was GLORIOUS!!!!!

Can we say Boogie Woogie Woogie!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Celebrate Celebrate!!!

The best part about being in celebration business is being apart of so many different types of celebrations. There is a story behind every cake, balloon, cookie, cupcake, and student who take our classes. Every week, we are apart of that, and we LUV it!!!!!
It wouldn't be the same if there wasn't a story. The story is always the best part of all of our edible creations. It's what makes the entire occasion so memorable.
We transformed our Rose Cascade cake for the 1st anniversary of our Deelite wedding couple. We made their wedding cake about a year ago. They loved their cake so much, the husband wanted to surprise his wife with a Rose Cascade cake.
To personalize their design, we double stacked the top tier to give it an elegant tower effect and then we showered the cake with our Red Gum paste roses.
As requested by our customer, we designed these one of a kind disney themed cupcakes for an elaborate Disney themed party. Each figurine was appx 1 1/2 "high. You can imagine how small the rest of the features were. When they were all done, they were so UH-dorable!!!
Chinese New year is right around the corner.
We designed these Chinese New Year Cookies for Nokia's New Year Party celebration.

Since we launched our Chinese classes about 6 months ago, they have been a huge hit.
We are so excited for all of our students.
Every so often I get to walk through the classroom and glimpse a peek.
Here are a few shots:) All the talent, excitement and passion I have seen over the 6 months has been incredible. Cake decorating is truly an art form that speaks through many languages and cultures:)

Fabulous Rose Box Cake!

Since our box cakes and rose cakes are so popular,
I designed a special birthday cake that merged 2 of our most popular designs and gave it an ultimate makeover.
Cake flavor is Chocolate with Chocolate Mousse.

I covered the cake with our marshmallow fondant, added our designer stitch on the box and filled it with our Gum paste roses.

And to add an extra Vavoom, I wrapped the box up with a full bloom pink ribbon.

We decorated 120 of these fabuloso birthday lollipop cookies for Miele's 111st birthday party.

Hmmm that's a lot of candles to blow out:)

Now lets jump into the ocean for a nice dive.
We decorated this cake for a super cool diving fan.

If you're wondering who the yellow guy is, its a Galeazzi suit.
Ahh, here's a better shot. Isn't Mr. Galeazzi so cute.
Ok, maybe Cute wasn't the look Mr, Galeazzi was going for.
But seriously...look at him. You know you wanna say it!

And here's a shout out to all you Ben 10 fans out there.
We have Ben 10 requests every week.
We got a super dooper Ben 10 cake request and
