Barbie Doll Cake

Assalam and Selamat Hari Raya everybody. Semoga hari raya kali ini dapat merapatkan lagi silaturahim antara sesedara kita semua. Maaf zahir dan batin dari saya jikalau ada salah dan silap. Nak sangat post ucapan selamat hari raya hari tu tapi tak kesempatan. Extremely busy in the kitchen. 

First day raya we all celebrate di KL sahaja and then head to my husband's place on the following day. As for myself I love ziarah my hubby's cousins and aunties sebab jarang jarang jumpa. Bila jumpa dapat berbual panjang. Mula lah rasa syukur dengan apa yang ada. 

Pulang ke KL ...we were stuck in the traffic for 7 hours but we play it cool lah konon...so we just enjoy the journey. Once reach KL sahaja.dah plan nak buat makan makan for my family, cousins and neighbour. Maaf  tak buat open house macam tahun lepas because I couldn't mingle around properly. Tahu tahu je yang datang dah nak pulang. So this year make it batch by batch.

Finally kitchen is open. I have few cakes to make this raya and sugar cookies as well. Alhamdulillah. Below is the first cake order during raya. The birthday girl wanted her own barbie...and yeah...barbie is always the prettiest of all. 

 Lucky me I don't think I should add more since her beauty is just enough to shine through

OK...sorry for the lighting. Told you...I am extremely busy. No time to edit or adjust the lighting etc. 

Please ignore the hair do. Birthday girl wants it that way. hihi

I hope Vera Wang sees this dress and loved it. 

Btw...the cake is vanilla flavour with chocolate filling in between.

Disaster strike....fondant fell off due to using the doll. Doll can't be used....and I have to make drastic change. 

I changed it to a different doll with a black colour hair. Add a huge flower on the shoulder.

Alhamdulillah it works...but I miss barbie. :(

Once I'm done with barbie cake...I rushed and make this small cake for  my niece.  None stop baking and cleaning from the day I got back from kampung. hihihi. Anyways...Selamat Hari Raya again. Will update you more on my coming cakes.  Assalam.

My First Buttercream Engagement Cake

This is the first time I have to make a Buttercream Cake for Hantaran. Just to share with you some of the preparations that I had to make in advance. First of all is my gumpaste to make the flowers. Thank you to baking project for the gumpaste recipe. Try it and you will find it easy and cheap way to make gumpaste.

Gumpaste ( suitable for flowers / figurine)

Ingredients

500 g icing sugar

1 tablespoon gum tragacanth

1 1/2 tablespoon cold water

2 teaspoon powdered gelatine

2 teaspoon liquid glucose

1 tablespoon shortening

1 egg white

Method :

Mix the icing sugar with the gum trag, and sieve. Put in a heavy duty mixer bowl.

Sprinkle the gelatine over the water, and wait until it becomes spongy. Then double boil until it turns into liquid again. Add the glucose, stir until it turns liquid too, then add in the shortening . Continue stirring until all are melted.

Remove from heat. Pour into the icing sugar, and mix in the egg white. Beat until the paste becomes white and elastic. Remove the gumpaste, put in an airtight container and let it rest for at least 12 hours before using.

If you notice, the method is very similar to making fondant. If you can make fondant on your own, I think you will have no trouble in making gumpaste. Its definitely cheaper than buying the mix or ready to roll type. You can make a large batch, divide into small pieces and keep it frozen. 

I tried Satin gumpaste but it didn't dry fast. Gum Tex from Wilton is just too expensive. Now I have this recipe...it is such a bless. Easy and cost saving. Thank you Baking Project. 

 Okay...ni lah rupa gumpaste  bila dah di uli. 

Homemade GUMPASTE

 And then...I bake my buttercake and start making flower gumpaste.

I learned making flowers from YOU TUBE.

After finished making flowers, time to make the buttercream. Here is the recipe.
