So I must confess... I am no artist. I can't draw, paint or sculpt for nuts! Arts was my poorest subject in school. However, I love to admire and appreciate the arts. Perhaps that appreciation is what attracted me into cake making and cake art.

When my regular customer mentioned that her 5 year old niece wanted a sea turtle cake, I was in two minds to take up the order, simply coz I was doubtful if I could pull it off. She gave me the freedom to choose my design so I went with the hardest 🤪Hahahaa I did not want to do cake sculpting coz I am not a big fan of cake wastage so I chose to sculpt from fondant instead.

My sea turtle isn't made from 100% fondant. It's skeleton is made from aluminum foil. This method saves a lot of fondant and doesn't end up weighing too heavy. I should have taken a video of the whole process. But as I mentioned, I had no idea how I was going to pull this off. I had zero knowledge of sculpting or watercolor painting. I had a crash course on that through YouTube and sculpted my turtle in 3 hours and painted it a day later after letting it dry and harden up.

Another secret... I am not a big fan of amphibians !! So when I made the turtle's face, it freaked me out!!! Lol... That perhaps is a good sign coz I must be getting it right, right? The beauty about sea turtles is that not one turtle looks the same as another... I watched videos on real sea turtle designs and fondants to decide how I wanted mine to turn out.

This was a fun project which has given me the confidence to try out more new stuff!

I cannot recommend enough for their amazing range of flowers. Sometimes I visit their shop just to see the beautiful plants and flowers. The colours, the floral arrangements, the scent 😍 The visual treat gives me a break from my routine.

For those looking for flowers for your loved ones, birthdays or wedding, do check out Mai Flower Supplies at Lathlain. Pop over to their page at www.facebook.com/maiflowersupplies/ and chat with Anne for your flora needs. 💐

Orange and Chocolate cake!!!

Need I say more!!! In my opinion, these 2 flavours are a match made in heaven!!!! I am not much of a sweet tooth (yea what an irony 😝), but whenever I make orange cake I just can't stop myself from "testing" the crumbs 😁
Those candied orange slices - Yes made from scratch and my they are to die for esp when dipped into dark chocolate!!!

Do you have a favourite flavour combination? Tell us in the comments and if they are not already in my menu, then there's a new reason to put on my lab coat 🧐👩‍🍳
