Embroidery


We did this cake for an exhibit in Amigo Terrace Hotel upon the invitation of good friend Alex Somcio. The dainty pink sugar roses (of royal icing, not gumpaste) got most of the attention.

DETAILED

DETAILED
Our Mom is a homemaker first and a cakemaker second. Yet, she was able to conceptualize grandious cakes & handmake each of the hundreds, sometimes thousands of sugar flowers, bake, and decorate cakes in her spare time. Guess who were her little helpers?

CAKE FLAVORS

CAKE FLAVORS We have a range of flavors to choose from, chiffon cake being the most popular and carrot cake the most preferred for fondant covered cakes.

FONDANT

Fondant is the gummy covering of the cake, in place of the regular soft and light eggwhite frosting. It is like soft pie crust which you roll out and carefully lift to cover the cake. Only "heavy" cakes such as carrot walnut and other similar cakes can handle fondant well.

AN ALTERNATIVE TO FONDANT

The fineness of fondant and the rich cake in it comes with a price. It also doesn't work well when it rains and in wet atmosphere. Realizing the limitations of fondant in our setting, we have come up with an alternative - making the regular eggwhite frosting look like fondant. It is simply applying the icing very slowly, lightly, patiently. Although it cannot copy fondant a hundred per cent, semi-fondant/fondant look-alike cakes can very efficiently replace fondant covered cakes.

BUDGET

We can work around your budget or your given price range. We can compromise with size but never with the cake's design.

APPOINTMENTS

APPOINTMENTS. Please do call for an appointment. We are more likely to be free during Mondays - Wednesdays and prefer to dedicate Thursdays - Sundays to preparations and work for the cakes in the weekend.
