Pink and Gold Dessert Table

Hey.
I'm back in the blogosphere.  Have been on hiatus since forever, I guess.
But I'm turning over a new leaf.=)

1st blog post for the 1st month of a new year.
It seems very fitting to post the 1st dessert buffet table I made.

A few days right before Christmas, I was commissioned to do a baptismal theme in pink and gold motif.  My brain was packed with lots of ideas since I was given a freehand on the design.

I have started making cake pops and marshmallow pops then.
This was the perfect avenue to showcase my creations.

Enjoy the pictures!

 

I threw in strawberry gummy candies and Hershey kisses with "thank you" sticker printables made by my cousin Vanessa, which I paintstakingly sticked at the bottom of each chocolate kiss.

These were last minute inclusion to the menu.  There were still a lot of cake scraps ( the domed top sliced off the cake ), I figured "Why not make an ice cream cone cupcake?"

It was tiring having to prepare a lot of things for the party.  But when all the goodies were gone, I was beaming with joy.=)

I deserve a pat on the back..........or a massage would be better. **wink**

My first fondant figures

Last year, my good friend Gina asked me to do a baptismal cake for her sister.

Though I made a couple of cupcakes with the same theme for an office mate, I haven't made a cake with a baby topper yet.
I was thrilled to do something for the first time.

Got the idea from a photo I found in Flickr........a baby and a teddy bear.

I guess in my excitement, I molded the bear slightly bigger than the baby.=)
Uhmm.....we have life size cuddly teddy bears for kids, don't we?

Nevertheless, I deserve a pat on the back for a job well done. **wink** ( Love your own, Dianne )

Come November, Gina asked me once more to make the cake for the baptismal of my goddaughter.

Is'nt she cute?=)
Her sister Hana is just as adorable.

So I'm cool with the baby figure, I've made it before.
But I wanted to place a little fondant figure to resemble Hana too.
Another first for me.....again.

Here's the final outcome.

It came out nice but I could have done better. ( That's me being too hard on myself. )
Oh well, there's always a first time for everything.
Every cake is a lesson.

**Gina never knew....but i bet she does....now.=)

Enjoy.
