I've never made a dragon before...

People love asking me which is the most challenging or memorable cake I've ever done.. Now when I hear that question again; this will have to be it!

Definitely the largest in terms of cake quantity; details and weight. OH MY GOSHh the WEIGHT of this thing. It was a baby whale!

My team of elves and I had been working on parts of the cake and it's components for close to a week! and I must say.. I'm so very proud of us. There were no drama's, everything looked great and we were on schedule and on time. It just shows how far along our kitchen and baking team have come along and we are now able to handle bigger challenges though they were child's-play. Okay I wouldn't dare say I wasn't stressed out! Of course I was!! haha
We wanted to make the cake as fresh as we could and so most of the work was only done one day beforehand. I barely slept that night. Not because I hadn't completed the cake... but more because of the excitement of making the delivery in the morning! hehe

The Founders Day charity event was held at Berjaya Times Square, KL and the cake was meant for Tan Sri Vincent Tan to celebrate his birthday. You can read more about the event and who this incredibly generous birthday boy is! THE STAR His charitable pledges took everyone aback that morning.. and I felt incredibly honoured to be given the opportunity to be part of it all.

It's time for the hard work now Su..

Chinese New Year and a brief 5 day trip to Japan has gained me more kilo's than a year old child. *panic attack*!!! Now losing off this excess is going to take painful hours at the gym.. and well this probably also means goodbye to supper and happy hours at the beer garden. Life is fair.. I've had wayy too much fun.. and it is time for me to zip up that tight skirt and suck it in.

I've resumed my regular working hours but it feels a little strange for me this year; I seem to be extra hyped about bringing forgotten ideas to life. Traveling to foreign lands always inspire me. It isn't exactly just about the holiday without needing to work; for me it is about discoveries.. it is about new adventures! ... *insert mental image of Dora the Explorer*

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Delicioso!

I have to admit; in 2010, I had began tiring out a little, i gave up burning the candle at both ends and gradually gave in to social temptations and put Delectable's growth on hold as we tackled the festive seasons.
None of that now.. I'm fully charged and ready to take the from the beginning again. I started a super secret list that I've been adding to; file name: Game Plan 2011.doc. Haha IM PUMPED!!!
With the amazing elves at Delectable i've had this tern; I've been able to free up a little time to be inspired developing new fun things at our outlets. Micromanaging in the past couple of years made it difficult for me to concentrate on decorating our cakes, meetings and expansion plans all together. I've realized making decisions with a clear mind always makes me more confident with execution. Now i just need a magic wand which clears minds.. LOL
Come to think; it's been awhile since I made a video log.. haha I shall tomorrow! Recording myself makes me feel a little awkward. LOL *blush*

I've been up to some fun~

Not necessarily going out of my way to find 'fun' activities to do; but more making my work filled mundane days a little more interesting.
I was away on a teeny snowy holiday last week; and now that i'm home; i'm super pumped to get all this backlogged stuff out of the way.
Lets start with the cake pictures I havn't put out in awhile *giggle*
I had SOOO much fun doing the homer bust cake.. the batman cake stressed me out a little too much to relate it to fun haha but the elmo and cookie monster ones were the best!



Cartoon character cakes require such level of detail.. make them so much more difficult to do in comparison to something freeform or a personal design.

Lovey Dovey Stuff

I remember making handmade cards and folding origami hearts and flowers when i was in high school. I would give them to my classmates or friends on Valentines day... not really to ..like a "special boy"-person.. haha
I guess as we progress in age; Valentines day each year means something different each time. It could just be a time to eat lots of chocolate, or share presents, share emotions, cuddle?, it could also be a year to confess your love, propose to your soul mate, remind your loved ones you care.. or hmm.. have an excuse to go on dates to parade than new dress you've got in the closet. hehe.

I personally am not much into this Lovey Dovey stuff at my ripe old age of 'courtship'. haha but.. i suppose it's still nice to know that someone would want me to be their valentine. *giggle*.
If you're tired of flowers that cost too much; or cant afford a diamond just yet.. it's a good idea to pop by Delectable to see what you can impress your loved ones with :). Handmade chocolate truffles? A bouquet of fudge pops and vanilla heart cookies? or maybe a pair of sweet bears sending out a subtle message.

I have yet to make plans for me and my Valentine this year; we are both so busy with work this week...Hmm wait a minute,.. i hadn't even asked him if he were mine yet. *blush* I'm sure he will happily oblige if I promised to make mushroom lasagna! *grin*
