Celebration Cakes

Cakes make occasions a lot more special.  That's why more people want to have decorative cakes when throwing a party.  Below are the cakes I previously designed and was able to capture with my cellphone camera.

This Hello Kitty cake is one of the best-selling designs I have made so far, and I also enjoy creating this design because it is very easy for me to make.  This is a combination of buttercream icing to cover the cake and fondant for the design details.

Lately, I have started to recommend rectangular-shaped cakes, especially for those expecting a larger number of guests at their party. In my opinion, this shape is easier to design, as it offers more space to work on.

I find it easy to think of and apply any design to this rectangular shape based on whatever theme the customer requests for their cake.

Graduation cupcakes and stencil cupcake art. The graduate's cap made a hit during the graduation celebration. I also experimented with how other cake artists draw on their cakes, which they call stencil art. Having some free time, my curiosity led me to try the activity.   It was very time-consuming, yet I somehow enjoyed working on its details. 

Basket weave design.  This is one design I enjoyed doing since then, even though it takes longer to finish compared to the other designs I have previously worked on.

Many people wanted to include dedications on their cake.  I always preferred using fondant letters instead of writing the dedication directly on the cake.  It's more challenging for me to write letters with buttercream, perhaps because my handwriting isn't very good. Additionally, most customers' dedications tend to be so long that it's impossible to fit those words on the cake they order.  

During special occasions, based on my experience, it is better to have a single layer of cake and an adequate number of cupcakes for your guests.  I place the single layer of cake at the top of a cupcake tower, with the rest of the cupcakes on the lower layers.  It is easier to distribute the cupcakes to the guests.  There are guests who are so polite that they don't even want to disturb the beautiful cake, so no one would ever dare to start slicing it.

Do you enjoy cakes served on special occasions?
