Went back to Lumut after work yesterday. Started baking and decorating after dinner. Luckily managed to ask grand uncle to help me baked a butter cake in advance so I only need to bake one cake last night. Two of my cousins' celebrating their birthday today. So I decided to make two cake. One is the shape of car for a 14 years old boy and an Elmo car for a 3 years old. This car cake was decorated using fondant. This is my first time shaping a cake and decorated it with fondant. Took me more than an hour to get it done. Weren't able to make too much detail as I was tired by then. May be should plan better next time. The base cake is the butter cake my grand uncle baked.
This elmo cake was a nutella cake which I baked last night. Decorated it with buttercream and fondant. Used fondant for the eyes, nose and lip. The rest of the face was decorated with buttercream. The eyes of Elmo was too heavy and it actually dropped out when it arrived in BSB. Managed to put it back but not as nice anymore lor. Sigh.. Next time have to consider the weigh of the fondant if were to decorate the cake like this again.
