Cindrella Cake

This cake was made for a 4 year old girl. It is covered in MMFondant and all the decoration, including the bead border are made with fondant. I didn't get the perfect Cinderella doll to put on top of the cake.So I carved a styrofoam and covered it with blue fondant to make it look like skirt and put the wilton doll head on top of it. The Cinderella is not edible. The customer didn't want a 3 D cake because the little girl will not allow them to cut it as she is a huge fan of Cinderella.

This is what the customer said

"Dhanya,

It was very nice of you to make this cake for Meghana's B'day on a very short notice. The extent you went to make it to her liking simply amazed us. It really made the day. Your creativity and dexterity was noticed by all the guests and almost all the moms asked us about it.
Meghana herself remembers the cake and the birthday even to this date. She would not let anybody touch the cinderella but after a month, we reluctantly disposed it without her knowledge for the fear of the kids eating the styrofoam as they would all taste it :-)

Thank you once again!!
Meghana's Dad.

Thank you so much Meghana's Dad.

All About Roses

This week i was pretty busy making cakes.I had to make 3 cakes ,one for my friends mom who is turning 90 ,and the other 2 for a surprise birthday party.But as always i had a lot of fun making these cakes .

This is what the customer said thank you for the excellent cakes. Most of both cakes were consumed, and that too after a heavy dinner that included gulab jamuns. Everyone loved the taste of the cakes. Thanks Mukund
