Customized Cakes

Dinosaur themed Carrot Cake with Buttercream Frosting

 

I apologize for the super long hiatus. 🙂

The reason for this is because… December came and my work has been piled up in double. Christmas season is the season where I get tons of orders. I rarely find time looking at my laptop. I’ll only check the things I need to do and then I’m off the kitchen. For 3 weeks I’ve been working around 7am until 11pm. Finishing orders, doing final touches for other orders.

A customer ordered this a few weeks back. I’m glad she liked it. 🙂 To tell you the truth, it’s been a while since I frosted some cakes. It’s one of the things I hate the most. Although it’s not perfectly frosted yet, you can see some visible lines, I’m on my way to making it look more decent.

I’m really ecstatic with this cake since it’s my first project cake and it is perfectly what I have envisioned. The side borders are piped in grass form to look like the dinos are really in a forest. 🙂

These are the feedback from my client:

“So beautiful. Tasted so good as well. I am so addicted to your cupcakes and cakes!”

“We almost didn’t eat it! Stared at it for several minutes – sobrang ganda! Hat’s off to you! And I don’t usually like carrot cake but was pleasantly surprised to find it so mouth watering, moist and rich. Sooo good!”

“Deneiza, it was sooooooooo goooooddd!! The frosting in between was yummy!! We love it!!! And your toppers, that was all over the cake, really cute!! 😀 We’ll be forever ordering from you!!”

I’m really happy they loved it. 🙂 Here’s another cake I’ve made last week:

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I know I need to work on my rose buttercream. The last time I made those was when I was back in San Francisco, in my cakes class so I’m a bit rusty. But I’m working on it. 🙂

Her feedback:

“super like this…”

“love your cake sis… super thanks!!! wait for my next order po ah…”

About the carrot cake — I used fresh and finest ingredients. That’s why you have to tell me 3 – 4 days in advance or more. Since I buy the carrots the day before I bake them and I use imported oil, a really really good one. (It’s a secret 😉 ) Cinnamon makes the carrot cake more sinful, it’s good both in cream cheese and buttercream and with nuts as well. 🙂

So what do you think? My next project will be next week, a Snow White themed Rainbow Cake with Buttercream Frosting. 🙂 I hope I get the eyes right. Since most Disney characters, you have to get their eyes right. Especially the princesses. 🙂  That’s all for now.
