I never knew art could be so much fun. Besides the usual painting, drawing, shading, there’s also sculpturing, water painting, glass painting, molding stuff, carving figures etc. There’s like never ending things you could do or come up with, with your own sense of creativity and imagination.
Honestly as a kid I wasn't that obsessed over art. Maybe because my painting plain sucks. Haha but art, design and technology or home economics were like the only subjects I knew could get an A all semester. Haha but as I grew older, I believe that those pretty things you see in everyday life just don't appear pretty by nature, it’s those delicate hands behind the scene that craft them into that perfect object. And ultimately, there’s a price to pay for it all.
Store bough fondant is good to look at but disgusting to eat. Knowing this fact, it’s always good to have the best of both worlds. Thus Marshmallow fondant (MMF) has always been my go to recipe whenever I make customized cakes. Nevertheless, people still peel away the layers away and savour the cake instead, which is not at all surprising considering the MASSIVE sugar content that goes into making those. It’s no wonder they can be kept for so long without going bad.
I’ve been working on my craft skills after this fondant obsession has gotten into me. I believe this obsession is going to go a longgg way. Now besides the taste, texture, smell of the cake, there’s an additional appearance component that you are going to be judged for.
This particular cake was already well thought off by the customer.
She wanted a train cake and a carriage full of milk bottles. The perfect beginning to start off. The cake was a chocolate cake rich and moist enough to enjoy but not too soft to collapse under the weight of the fondant. Filling was swiss meringue buttercream. Enough said, here’s a picture of the completed cake.

Other figurine was for the younger baby brother Fynn- the reason for the cake was to celebrate his 1 mth!
This cake took an entire day to complete. The process was tiring because I had to redo the fondant covering twice because it cracked and I couldn't stand how ugly it looked under the light.
The rest of it is history.
