Wedding Cakes - Briar & White Roses; Birthday Cakes - Cowboy Hat, Castle Cake; And a Gift Box: Sep 09

The above two two-tier wedding cakes were made some time back but i did not have the oppurtunity to upload them; the request for cakes was to adorn them with briar roses and white roses.
The cowboy hat was surprise gift from a wife to her husband on his 40th birthday.
The castle cake was made for a sweet little girl, who was celebrating her 7th birthday.
The gift box was an idea for a lady who wanted to gift her friend on her anniversary celebrations.
I thank all of you for visiting my blog and leaving words of appreciation. At this moment i am just collecting your wishes and keeping them with me for support and encouragement. I will open my hands one day to express my joy on how you have all helped me to fly with confidence.

Sugarcraft: Celebrating two years of journey on blogspot - Strawberry Wedding, Heart Anniversary and Annie Apple Birthday Cakes

Today is the second year of my journey of sugarcraft. 14 August is the day that will remain imprinted forever. Today as I look back and see that I have made 85 cakes for different occasions….I feel like a student again..there is so much to learn….the more I make..more is the revelation of what perfection means. I thank all of you for believing in me, supporting me and encouraging me with your words that are magical and work wonders. Last few months have been challenging times and I was not blog spotting much but now with renewed energy, conviction and faith, I start all over again.
Here are the cakes made for an anniversary, for a toddler and for a newly wed couple. Fresh strawberries merged with chocolate leaves and hearts carved out of them (my hubby’s idea, eh), Annie apple was fun to make and the two-tier tilted heart wedding cake was interesting to balance upon. I do hope you all like them !

Four-tier & Three-tier Wedding Cakes: Roses - January 2009

I had made these cakes some time back but sometimes when you are confronted with revelations that tell of hurt and sadness, you have to re-look at the definition of friendship and watch games people play, and your creativity is caught in the realms of philosophy and it takes time to shake the thoughts off...
The above four-layer cake with white roses was made for a couple, whose wedding theme was white and electric green.
This three-layer wedding cake with yellow roses was made for a couple, whose wedding theme was yellow, off-white and aquamarine. I hope you like them all. I am still to post the appreciations endowed on me and will surely do so in my next post. Thank you.

Three-Layer Wedding Cake & Two-Tier Animal Kingdom Birthday Cake: January 2009

Greetings to you all for the new year. What a day to post the cakes ! After watching the inaugural ceremony of enigmatic and charismatic Mr. B Obama becoming the President of USA, I feel happy to post the cakes on this day with these three words 'Yes, We Can'
This three layer wedding cake was made for the couple, whose wedding theme was electric green and pink. I made the floating briar roses (with drapes and bows) as the cake was to be taken to Ramotswa, approximately 500 kms from Francistown.
This two-tier vanilla sponge cake was made for a kid on his first birthday. His mother had observed that the kid is fascinated with animals and I tried sugar modelling of the animals for the first time. Of all things, my son was fascinated by the pig's tail. I hope you all like my creations.
I will soon post the awards given further by our blogger friends in my next post but would still like to say now 'thank you'.

Birthday Cake:Hearts with Wine Glasses - December 2008

This birthday cake(s) was made for a couple, who were celebrating their births on earth together. It is a wonderful coincidence and I thought to join the hearts together for the celebration of life with two wine glasses, a scroll of wishes and two white roses. The cake is also laid on the fondant cloth with small silver balls strewn all over.
One gets wind beneath the creativity wings, when one shares and discusses the theme with friends and dear ones and it was my hubby's idea for this heart-shaped wine glasses. Especially this filigree work was interesting to experiment with. I hope you all like my theme ! I have received some further appreciations from you all and i will display them soon. Thank you.

Birthday Cakes: Different Shapes - November 2008

Hi friends, last few days had been quite busy at work and i was not able to post the few birthday cakes that i had made. It was interesting as i made few flowers and then laid them on cakes of different profiles. Last two cakes were done over a night, as they were to be taken to Gaborone.
Some of my blogger friends as Steph, Kitchen Flavours and Indranee have shared their awards with me, for which i feel humbled again. Thank you ! I will proudly display your gesture.

Three - Tier Wedding Cake: A Lily with Purple Roses - October 2008

Hi friends, after spending the entire month busy with examinations and the mind engulfed with concepts from leadership and organisational dynamics, strategic corporate finance, information mgmt, business research, business ethics, international business etc, it was such a sigh of relief when i finally wrote the last of my 6 papers of 2nd year MBA on 30 October. I yearn again to continue on my journey of sugarcraft.

This wedding cake was made for an Australian bride, who was getting married in Botswana. She had contacted me while in Australia and when she came to Botswana, we met, and i made this cake as per her specifications. She did not want an elaborate cake but a lower fruit cake and the top chocolate cake with a lily and few roses. I had made this cake and i hope you all like it, as well.

It also made me reinforce in what my hubby tells me : Make it simple - don't over do the details or it will become too "busy" for the eyes. Let it be fluid with no clutter effect. The client is not interested in what else you know but simply wants what he or she desires !
I have posted the birthday cakes (made during the examination period !!!) and Nature's wonder as separate posts. Thanks for visiting me again !

Birthday Cakes: Basket Ball Court & A Girl's Sandal

These birthdays cakes were made for my friend's children in very less time, during the time when i had some gap during the examination period !!! but promise is a promise, and i had given my word. Though not perfect, as i would have desired, but going through the process of making different types of cakes has enhanced my learning. I hope you will all appreciate my effort.
