I'm currently not taking cake orders. This cake was ordered long before I found out I was pregnant. :O) Just sharing this latest project for viewing. Thanks for viewing!!
Chee Hoa and
Meredith met each other while doing the Marine Engineering Course in Singapore
Poly. They wanted their wedding cake to reflect this special time of their
lives with a boat of some sort on their wedding cake.
As such, their cake is based on a children’s
Sunday school song which goes:
With Christ in the vessel, we can smile at the storm,
As we go sailing home.
Yes, we all do face storms in our lives but with Jesus, Christians are assured of getting through the storms with His help and Guidance! :O)
But I didn't want to depict Jesus so, the boat in which the Bride and Groom topper was carried in was meant to represent Him. :O)
The unusual topper: boat and the Bride and Groom, was made by my partner in crime, Carol. It's Sculpey: a polymer clay that hardens when baked, so it lasts and lasts and serves as a keepsake for the couple years and years after their wedding.
As you can see, the top two tiers, the sea, were tilted cakes and the bottom tier was the sea bed, covered in "sand". (See the Video at the end of this post!)
The sea creatures was made of fondant by me and edible.
I had so much fun making them!
The purple Octopus...
The Jelly Fish. And here you can see the waves of the sea, made of royal icing.
The easy peasy school of fish which kinda look like chicken drumlets or tiny footprints.
This is my son's contribution!
I love these two. They look like they are having a conversation.
My favorite has got to be the crabs! I love the eyes I put on the end of toothpicks. :)))
And the topper that made everyone go WOW!!
Handcrafted by Carol out of Sculpey. The figurines are dressed in the actual gown and suit that the couple wore on their big day!
Me, the big pregnant one and Carol with the latest masterpiece. :O)
Thank you so very much for the time and effort in doing up our cake. It was simply lovely and majority who were present at the wedding really were impressed by both the appearance and taste of the cake. We were very touched by the fact that it has been so wonderfully customised for us and it really left us feeling very sweet. Once again, thank God that He made our day a real special one through His people, Suwei and Carol!

Hi Su Wei, I really admire your cakes. Have you ever done a cake that looks like a piano?
I'm into piano playing. Just set up a website cum podcast at http://www.hymnpod.com
Do have a listen with good speakers or headphone, and give me some comments as well.
God Bless.

hello Christopher,
thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement! No, I haven't done a piano, though I have thought of it before. But to colour fondant black (for the black keys) would really use A LOT of black food colouring... blech. :OP
Great job with the hymn site! Keep up the good work there too! To God be the Glory.

Hi Su Wei,
What about using dark chocolate for the black colour instead (yummy!).
There is a cake shop in Changi that sells cakes coated completely in dark chocolate. Quite expensive, though, about $30 for a 1kg cake.
Anyway, just a suggestion.
God Bless.

Yummy! Better than looking at underwater world fish and going, "now that one need to fry, this one steam better..."

As a bride-to-be on a tight budget, I recently discovered an online bridal jewelry store called GlamForLess.com.
Though their website is plain and simple, I found some great deals on jewelry sets for me and my bridesmaids.
I think other readers on a tight budget may also find GlamForLess.com to be helpful.
You may want to check them out at http://www.glamforless.com/ and inform other readers about it.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Lisa Bloom
