Next up:
Another white butter cake , this time with cream cheese filling. This was for a 6 year anniversary. She wanted a mini replica of the wedding cake I made for them. I couldn't get the fresh champagne grapes that adorned the original cake so I improvised. I piped them with tinted buttercream and tucked in a few chocolate stems.
The leaves were jinhand moulded out of fondant, texturized and brushed with a dutch dark cocoa powder. The original cake was dotted with caramel corkscrews as well, which would not have stood up today in the heatwave we were suddenly subjected to..

dang it! i knew i was gonna regret coming here before my own cup of coffee and breakfast. everything looks so scrumptious as always.
and now i'm doubly starved. ..
time to break fast..
i'm run after before the appearence of V Agent for Breakfast
;)
looks good, on my birthday i want a cake like this.;)
PleAseeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! jinnnnnnn!!!
oh how pretty
That's some mad fine leafistry.
I wonder how they'll slice it!
I LOVE your mouse. Oh, that sounds bad. Your wireless mouse? hehe Very cool.
I wanted to bite the head off that chick... does that make me evil?
angel:
Thank You kindly! :-)
Ohhh, I had so many pictures it took me hours to sort through them and resize!!! I'll try to post again soon!
foam:
I have a feeling you can whip up some fantastic sweets yourself!
Oh, but I see the conundrum... you probably wanted something instaneously. It takes more than an instant to whip up something fabulous... but I hope your break fast was a good one anyway
;-)
ruela:
Wow! You beat phos & /t. here today! That's quite an accomplishment! They must have been sleeping in late on a Sunday. ;-)
You can have any cake you want for your birthday... good thing I know when day it is on!
;-)))))))
katy:
Thanks!!!
You had your cake today, how was it??? Hope everyone enjoyed it!
:-D
gyro:
Thank you thank you!! :-D
"I wonder how they'll slice it!"
Thant's not my problem, now is it?!!?
BWA-HAAAAhaaahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!
Also I have a surprise for you ;)
You are very cool;))))
munkey:
Heeheee....
The mouse does look cool, unfortunately it sucks big-time! lol. Eats batteries like you wouldn't believe and even tho it's supposed to be wireless I have to keep it within one foot of the base at all times. :-P
"I wanted to bite the head off that chick... does that make me evil?"
Uh... I hope not because that's what I always do! I just figured it would photograph better with the head on. I had to practice some serious restraint.
;-)
Well there goes my grandiose post idea; one based entirely around a Village Inn* (* a restaurant chain on a par with Denny's out here in the West) pie that I purchased on sale. I must now hang my head in shame. Baked items are a cruel mistress.
RUELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AH-HAAAAhahahaaaahahahaaaaaa!!!!!
YOU are awesome!
LOL!!!!!!!
That's one tough jin!
Phos must have really pissed me off!!!
:-)))))))))))))))))))
puerileuwaite:
You purchased pie* on sale at a Village Inn**?
You freely admit this?
SHAME indeed!
GASP!
*Pie is one of those terms used in pastry shoppes to refer to actual pies most of the time. ;-)
**In our neck o' the woods Village Inn is a seedy hotel chain where curious activities occur. I'm wondering if you're just lying about them having a restaurant over there?! ;-)
Those things are WAY too pretty to eat! ok, maybe not...
LOL jlee!!
I actually enjoy seeing my creations chopped up and voraciously consumed. I know... I'm weird! LOL!
;-)
Yummo! You are soooo good Jin... I have never seen so much variety in my life....
Melissa (eldest)and Chris will be getting married Nov 4 this year - it was postphoned when Don died in May of course...she has organised a cupcake wedding cake in bright colours...
re your coffee and biscuits...I am so disappointed...made myself coffee and opened this new paclet of bickies thinking they were round and flat with icing in the middle circle...but when I opened them they were minus the middle total... what I though was white cream on the biscuit was just the paper showing through the hole in the centre..sob!
Thanks MC!!! :-)
I can't wait to see photos of the cupcake wedding cake!!!
Oh, no! The filling in the biscuits is the BEST part! lol... you can make your own if you're inclined. Just mix some powdered sugar with enough water (or vanilla) to moisten the sugar and Voila! You have a super quick & easy frosting!
Thanks for that tip Jin - I never knew that was so easy.
You're welcome!
That's what I do at home when I need something sweet.
I never have bakery-type ingredients at home!
lol
:-)
SO hungry now. Dayum!
Aww... sorry CP!
:-)
