For years I've been frequently inspired by her work; her attention to detail and her amazing creativity with new techniques in cake art. It was not until last weekend when I finally got to meet her when she became my idol.
The 3 days of cake decorating classes with her flew by in a wink! We learnt to make an array of sugar flowers; paint and dust them;



Despite the rushed decisions made on my cake design; the weekend was awesome! I havn't decorated ANYTHING in a long long while..*sigh* fondant-ing my stacked styrofoam shaped cake was so satisfying. *giggle*

Within the first couple of days; our class of 20+ beginner cake artists were on our way with frills; gumpaste flowers; roses; peonies and airbrushing!
I made a couple of cool friends from my 3 days at weekend school. We cracked up with jokes and funny stories throughout the classes and I decided to bring us all out for a fun Saturday night at one of Orlando's hot dinner spots. It was lots of fun; good food; lots of drinking and entertainment. I was kinda worried I'd tire them out too much for our class at 8am the next morning!
And here's mine;
I wish I took more photographs along the way; but I was too engrossed wit
I'm exhausted but still trying to get past it all for class at 7am tomorrow. Stuff if piling up. Laundry and chores have me in tangles. I love my life. No joke.
*laughs*
Seriously. Life is fantastic at this point! *grin*

Su Yin! Hi!, I am not saying this because I am one of your biggest fan, but I think your cake was the best one there! The idea is unique and out of this world. Excellent job. When you come back to ipoh please open a class to teach me to do all the flowers, please.
Those cakes are stunning!
Wow those flowers are awesome! :D
Hi Su Yin,
You are fantastic. Very talented gal too. Haha...your sharing is indeed our blessings. Wish you all the best in your future undertakings :)
hi Su yin,
I really love your cakes and seeing that cake of yours on this post, I love 'em more. I really like your ideas and designs, the blue colours you blend with are so unique... Keep it up:)
wowww! the flower really looks like real onessss~ *amazedddddd*
Don't be offended but Australian sugarpaste cakes are way way nicer looking (cleaner, simpler and more elegant) than these.

Hey Su Yin,
I have been following your blog for years! This post .. hmmm, Colette Peters .. the designs there, seriously .. I thought yours were much better and fresher. lol
Keep up the good work!
Hey guys; Colletes class was awesome. THanks for leaving comments. Thanks aunt yochana for the award :)
I'm glad everyone is loving the flowers.
Ann: i guess thats true; but afterall this was merely a beginners class. 90% of the students from the class have never done fondant cakes before. Considering the short 3 days; I think everyone did a great attempt.
thanks imbi and itchy..hehe *blush* :P
Su, your peonies are BEEYOOTIEEFULL!! And I like the blue that you used on the top layer too. What a way to make a statement! I've started Wilton Cake decorating since Jan '08 because I was inspired by you. We'll be using fondant starting tonight! Keep up the amazing work!
