"Barbie" wedding cake

This was the second time I made double barrel wedding cake ordered by one of my regular customers, Warda. The cake was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting - Muniroh's Bakery bestseller cake so far. Her favorite cake and frosting too :)

She gave me her designed, based on one of the cakes that I made before. She had asked me how long can she keep the cake, as her wedding is in Johor but she is working here in Selangor. My answer -  a week. That's my default answer if any customer asks me the same question. Cream cheese mix with sugar will slow down the fermentation process, and as long you keep it at cool temperature the frosting will be okay for about a week. The cake? since it is covered with frosting, it is not exposed to the cool air and won't be dry that much. But correct me if I'm wrong, I am an amateur after all :)

So why "Barbie" you ask? the shade of pink remind me of Barbie :D I could imagine Barbie fairies dancing happily around the cake :D

Contact me at thewhiteboxz@gmail.com if you have any inquiry regarding wedding cake. I could make the wedding cake within your budget :)

My first experience making wedding cake using cream cheese

Hey guys, I haven't updated my blog for a while. Was busy writing up my thesis and I'm pretty glad that I've finished writing. Just need to edit and submit my thesis alhamdulillah :D

A while ago a friend of mine asked if I could make wedding cake for her wedding. I've never done it but I was really eager to make one. I am a buttercream person so I don't make fondant cakes. Fondant is pretty, and I am amazed with beautifully crafted fondant cakes, but I don't like the taste of fondant. Besides, it takes a lot of time to make a really pretty and neat fondant cake, which is not suitable for a night-time baker like me.

My friend was okay with the cream cheese frosting, and I told her the design that I could make for her. We discussed over several things; the height, design, price range, color etc. I didn't sketch the design, because I always imagined it in my head (aside from the fact my drawing talent has been declining after I graduated from high school), but my friend was okay with my idea.

I have very small oven thus I have to wait long hours baking the cakes. Because of that, it took me 11 hours to finish making her cake. I was happy with the product though, and she was too after receiving the MMS of her wedding cake.

I am glad that she liked it, and I am happy that I was given an opportunity and trust to make one. Someone said that a wedding is not complete without a cake, and I agree with that even though I don't have one at my wedding :)

Thanks Ermi Lihan for your order, and you were a beautiful bride :)
