You won't believe how lucky she got!
I was commissioned to do the birthday cake of Miss Marion Caunter.
The stunningly beautiful, charming and talented Marion that we see posted all over billboards, VJ-ing on Channel V and making Malaysians proud to have her as one of us!
I admit; having came home just recently; I haven't been keeping up to date with the new trends and faces; but wow...was I blown away by this incredibly outstanding young lady. When I heard from her cousin in Singapore; I did throw in a couple hours of research to read through interviews and look at a couple articles to get a feel of what Marion would like. By the end of the night; I almost felt I knew her personally! haha I had to get the cake concept down p
at!Truth be told, I have only been around her for less than 15 minutes, presented her a cake, shook her hand and shared 2 words... but I'm already a fan. *laughs* I can't help myself... I'm silly like that. *grin*
You know the beautiful types you can't help but look twice at? ... well.. I couldn't stop staring *blush*
and the best thing of all; She LOVED her cake!!! *does a victory dance*
She even had a white Chanel bag with her that afternoon! Coincidence?! Ridiculous!
She was too cute; she went "Pass me my bag; I want a photo with it!"
too funny.
Despite my inability to get a hold of myself amongst her well established friends and family, I left the venue feeling regal... I couldn't help smiling to myself....thinking.. "Marion loved her cake and I made it!" I was ecstatic. My drivers seat felt like cloud 9 as I made my way back home.
I wonder if I'll get to do her cake in 2009! *grin*
*a big thanks to everyone involved in her surprise gift. :) Appreciate the opportunity very much.

Hee hee niiiceee!! You have joined the star scene ;) I should have got your autograph back then :S hee hee
I am always amazed at the details that can be put into cake/fondant/modeling chocolate by talented bakers like yourself! Beautiful! The shoes are amazing right down to the "stitches" and the fact that they're free-standing. The detail on the wallet in the purse... wow! O_O With your talent, I bet you become as famous (and well paid!!!) as Duff on Ace of Cakes. It's always so much fun to visit your site... your pictures are cute and I love hearing about your exploits. ^_^
I'll be starstruck if I met you :) I've read your blog every now and then when I need some inspiration. You are so talented and very creative. And when it comes to cake and cupcakes, I'll tell my friends to check out your blog.
I gaze awestruck at your creations all the time - I don't think I have ever seen cakes as brilliant as yours. Now we just have to wait until you are making them back in Sydney!
i think you're close to becoming a star. Now i'm starstruck!
I choose you Pikachuuuu!!

su yin, i've been visiting ur blog 4 quite sum time, it's a link from other blog i frequented. while i'm not a fan in leaving comments but i just must this time. I just had a weird dream this morning. it's so very weird because it's about u, who i never know in person. i was at a place, where a press con of sort is going on and i saw a cake with a goal post and players around it and immediately thought you must be the one decorating it. while everybody is singing praises about how yummy ur cake is, i was looking around to see u in person. the setting is like back to the future - u don't look exactly like the pic in ur profile, more matured looking. u hv a big team with u it seems and it is a huge place with lotsa food, cakes, pancakes, all sorts of delicacies. i don't know y u come to my dream, it is so odd but i believe u r shooting for the stars. the huge thing about this dream is u r still such a humble and nice person. i believe u r in person. wish u all the very best. hope our paths cross one day.

Would love to meet you one day :)
THE BAG!
THE BAG!
hi su,my name is ambika... like your work a lot.
i just happen to notice that both of those shoe belongs to the same leg(if i am right, its right leg).
I think your favorite color is white.so you chose white color shoo,bag etc.although white also my favorite color.thank you for shearing your post.
Wow Su, I'm floored! Your cake-decorating skills made my humble Chocolate Cloud Cake (that I recently learnt to make) seemed so... messy & raw & lookd like rubbish! :P
Beautiful, I'm sure it tasted as good as it looked.
