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'.

C S Lewis: Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'what ! you, too ? Thought i was the only one.'

I would also like to share nature's marvel, pictures taken by my son, when the moon came in-between Jupiter and Venus recently.

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.

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.

If winter comes, can spring be far behind !

Whilst preparing and busy during the examinations, i use to amble around in my small garden to appreciate the beauty of Nature. Its spring time in Botswana and here are some pictures taken, which shall continue to guide me in my journey of perfection in sugarcraft ! The pictures are of high resolution and can be zoomed to a much higher degree.

Its makes me remember from my ICSE panorama book poem:

"And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils." - By William Wordsworth
