Talking about super organized, Aiko's mum contacted me April last year for her party on December. She sent me some sketched for Aiko's cake and ordered a really nice mirrored acrylic with her name to be placed on the cake.
After back and forth with design and cake sizes we settled with a pretty simple design yet quite challenging in term of size. the bottom cake is 10 inch round cake and it's 8 inch tall, the top one is 8 inch round and 4 inch round.
Having a cake that tall of course it's quite challenging to cover it since I still roll my fondant with rolling pin. However, it turned out to be not as difficult as I initially thought. I managed to cover the bottom tier without any drama the first time. It was standing tall and mighty and looked so solid so I decided to leave the support, oh how I have to pay for it. All went smoothly and I stacked the cakes together and start working on the other part of the cake when I realized that the cake is bulging first thing came to mind was the heat, but at the end I realized it was because lack of support on the cake.
I tried to salvage the cake by pricking it with needle and pushed it in but it's getting worst. So I got to do what other cake decorator got to do, scraped all off and start again. So I took the top tier off and re ganaching the bottom tier and cover it again with fondant. I was prepared with my dowels this time and crisis averted.
On the day of the party I went to deliver the cake in the morning and in awe of the dessert table. It's so beautiful, a wonderful effort of Aiko's mum and very talented party stylish Marta Zeng. It was a team effort, Sayung Tina did the cupcakes, Alicia did the macaroons and the rest done by Aiko's mum and Marta.
