Disney Princess Birthday Cake

This was one of the many orders that we did prior to Puasa/Raya 2011. Ordered by Ida, a returned customer of Izzy Bakery.

The cake was made for her daughter's birthday. Nak princess cake katanya. Tahun lepas dapat 3-tier crown cake. Pink jugak. Bertuah anak Ida ni ye.

Inside was a vanilla cake layered with strawberries. Outside was vanilla buttercream, topped with Disney princess themed edible image and sugar ladybirds.

Thank you Ida for entrusting us for few times now. Hope tak serik nak order dengan kami lagi ye.

"30" Birthday Cake

This was a cake ordered by Azza and sister for another sister who is celebrating her 30th birthday during the previous fasting month. I know, I know, I announced her that we won't be taking any cake orders during puasa month. But this was one of those few orders that we already promised to do much much earlier on.

Azza and sister are my regulars. They have been ordering from us for countless times! So, they are quite comfortable around the house. For this particular oder, they personally came to our house to go through the many baking books that I have to choose the cake design that they like. And finally ended up with this one.

A rather simple design, I'd say. But it represented what it should be. Which is, the 30TH BIRTHDAY!!

It was a chocolate cake inside. Topped with white buttercream. Decorated with gold dots and the number 30 around the cake. And finally touched with a blue ribbon. Simple kan?

And we also gave out 3 gold candles to go with the cake. Hopefully the birthday girls loved them all...

Umar's 3rd Birthday Cake

Sorry people. I realized that I have been way behind in updating the blog lately. First, it was fasting month. Then, comes Raya. Later the open houses. Then, comes the pregnancy. And the latest, is our very own PARTY BIZ!!

Anyhow, I managed to steal sometime lately. Will try to update them all slowly. While catching with the latest development here, in Izzy Bakery's Kitchen.

So, it was my colleague's son birthday. He was born a month after Ms. Kecik, which was 3rd September. And if you are a mother like me, you would probably watched too much PHDC by now alreayd, to know that kids nowadays, no longer layan Thomas the Train. Chuggington is the new craze.

Here are some pictures from his party. Where only close family members were invited. And us sibuk.

You should look at his reaction when he first saw the cake. He was so happy that he squels, "Ooh, Chuggington! My favorite!"

The Birthday Song. Excuse the high pitched voice behind. That was of course, no other than my beloved daughter.

Mommy and Kakak helping Umar for the cake cutting. As you can see in the previous video, kakak yang blow the candle. Instead of the birthday boy himself.

A closer look of the cake

It was actually a 6 inch round chocolate cake. Covered with chocolate ganache. Topped with chuggington edible image. The sides of the cake were also decorated with chuggington edible images, which the kids had fun eating them. Though sebenarnya, macam takde rasa jek. The banner carries the Chuggington blue and yellow logo with "Happy Birthday Umar!!" greetings.

Hope the cake was all worth it. Thank you Eda for ordering with us....

1st Birthday Cake for Iris

Made this for Iris, who just turned one recently. She is the daughter of En. Suami's x-colleague, who is not a stranger to our Izzy B. products. But the power of technology got me to liaise directly with the mother, instead. Biasa lah, benda macam ni is a mom's forte kan. So each time ada birthday party order, aku pun excited sama.

Zarina, the mother requested for chocolate and vanilla flavored cake. Outside was decorated with princess themed edible image in pink/blue and yellow color theme. The whole look was then being touched up with fondant butterflies and royal icing decorations like flowers and ladybirds.

Making a birthday cake especially the FIRST one is always fun. We were honored to be given that opportunity. Thank you Zarina & hubby for ordering. Hope ada lagi orders in future yeah.

A Purple Hantaran Cake

Ordered by Faziha, who was introduced to me by her sister, who is also my tailor. She ordered the cake to give as a present, for hantaran.

Inside was chocolate moist cake, which is our best selling flavor so far. Topped with white fondant and deco with many tones of royal icing flowers. The theme color was purple but the camera obviously, did not do justice to the real, final product.

The cake board was also covered with white fondant. And embossed with flowers that makes up like a border, with a hint of purple silver edible dust.

Interested? Sila order ye.

Toy Story 3 Birthday Cake

We had an order from a very old friend, from secondary school named Syeeda. The cake was for her son's 1st birthday. Like any mother, haruslah celebrate besar-besaran kan.

Initially, Syeeda could not decide on the theme. She was contemplating between Toy Story and Thomas Train. So, we told her to look around and see whether her son is more towards one side than the other, by looking at his toys/clothes. Which ultimately, is the parents' choice la kan. So, she decided on Thomas Train.

Not till later, she changed her mind to Toy Story. Haha, been there done that yeah. Buat party harus lah coordinate everything together kan. Turned out, she only managed to secure Toy Story party packs. While Thomas Train was no where to be found. So, Toy Story it is!

Inside is choc moist cake, filled and topped with choc ganache. Atas siap ada edible image lagi and finally, touched by bits of white chocolate around the cake. This order was made on the same day as the Upin&Ipin cake, hence the mini bunting AGAIN!! We are SO IN LOVE with this bunting idea!! Sides were decorated with more edible image of Toy Story 3's logo and chocolate sticks.

Verdict?

Testimonial: Tq ye. Cake sgt cntik n budak2 semua suka n licin - Syeeda.

Upin & Ipin Birthday Cake

This cake was order by Sitie for her daughter's 1st birthday. Tapi kakak-nya tumpang sekali. Hence, the 2 names on the cake.

Inside was moist chocolate cake, filled with chocolate ganache and topped with ganache jugak. Imagine betapa chocolaty-nya cake ni?? We had a bite and I tell u!! Sedap hingga menjilat jari!! But then am may be biased, cos am a chocolate fan.

And we went all out for the deco as well, as you can see. Siap mini bunting segala. Just to give an added touch to the cake. Lain dari yg lain, different from the normal icing/fondant cuts writing. The cake was surrounded with 'love letters' sticks everywhere. As we were told that the guests were mostly kids. Gotta do something that they love, aye? Then, nak penuhkan space kiri kanan, we throw in butterflies and tiny flowers for 'seri'.

Sitie came all the way from Sg Besi, to pick up the cake. Hope the cake worth the trip yeah, Sitie. Tq very much for ordering. Tahun depan, depan dan depan lagi, boleh order lagi....

Adios!

Carrot Walnut Cake

This Carrot Walnut cake was ordered by the oh-so famous MommyLyna for her kids' teachers. It was an appreciation gift, complete with ucapan terima kasih on the cake.

Topped with cream cheese frosting, the cake is so moist and surprise, surprise, it didn't taste bad at all!! Think lepas ni ok kot nak bake the same for Ms. Kecik's birthday. The cream cheese frosting toned down the sweetness in the icings. Making it less sugary and more carrot-y.

MommyLyna requested for a simple deco. So, we decided to decorate the whole cake with walnuts instead. To give the cake, a bit of crunchy taste. Yum, yum.

Since her kids go to the same school as Ms. Kecik, we dropped the cake straight at school. So, MommyLyna pun tak sempat nak tengok rupa cake ni.

So, here it is...hope you are happy yeah. I know the teachers did! Semua dah tanya2x for future order.

;-D

A Peach Wedding Cake

It was my cousin's wedding. My mom wanted to sponsor their wedding cake as a gift to the bride&groom. So, she asked me to bake a 3 tier wedding cake, in peach. The rest is up to our imagination.

My mom loves flowers. Hence, it is almost natural to have flowers on the cake. Though the cake was not for her kan. It was actually for the cake cutting ceremony. Imagine our nervousness when we presented the cake.

The peach colour is so sweet. Our humble camera did not do them justice. Inside is chocolate cake, topped with buttercream icing and deco-ed with white roses and butterflies.

The cake was big and heavy. Boleh tahan berpeluh la jugak trying to smoothen the whole surface and carry them to the wedding place. Had so much fun doing it. It was such a good experience. Banyak benda nak kena study lagi ni.

Chocolate Indulgence

This cake was ordered by Tina for sambutan maulidur-rasul at her daughter's school. Inside is chocolate moist cake with chocolate ganache topping, yang sungguh yummey.

Tina requested for a sambutan maulidur-rasul theme. Which made me think of Upin & Ipin in songkok. Unfortunately we can't find the exact one that I pictured in my mind so we settled for this particular edible which we think symbolizes the 1 Malaysia/Muhibbah concept. Not bad eh?


We lined the cake the chocolate sticks yang sangat chocolaty and sedap. That they make me droooooollllssssss....Lastly, we finished the cake with the "Selamat Menyambut Maulidur-Rasul" greeting.

Hope the kids love it!

Princess Tiered Fondant Cakes: Part II

Many may not know this. But, Izzy B IS a collaboration of both me and hubs. While I bake, he managed the IT part of the biz i.e. updating the blog, formatting the pictures etc etc. Aku adalah agak lembab sedikit, in that sense. Hence, the need of this Part 2 of the Princess Tiered Fondant Cake. MY side of the story.

This particular job has started very early in the beginning of the year. I have always impressed on what mothers are willing to do for their children. Ida, this customer of mine is no exception. The birthday girl demanded for a 2-tier birthday cake. And that's exactly what she got.

I was very much excited to do the cake as this is my first time of making a tiered cake. Fondant lagi tu, mampus aku nak kerjakan semua siap dengan crown lagi. I learnt quite a lot from the Mickey cake that I made not long before. So, I kinda know that I NEED to learn more tricks and tips from the Sifu.

Since I do this biz part time, I need to plan my time well to prevent kalut-ness on the final day nanti. Which was almost the case selama ni. I spent one weekend sourcing for tools and products that can assist me with the making of this cake. Serba macam mak nenek I bought. Which am very glad, in fact.

I started by making the gumpaste deco i.e. crown, circle cut-outs, heart-shaped cut-outs, lettering and the giant ribbon. Lettering tools tu I bought so long ago, tak tahu tahun bila. Ni baru nak guna.

A day before the delivery day, I bake the cakes; bottom is chocolate cake and top is chocolate chip cake. On delivery date, I start assembling all the pieces together. Covered the 2 cakes with white fondant, glued the cut-outs, made pearl borders and attached the crown. Good thing, the delivery day was Saturday. So, I had some lee-way boleh la touch-up sana sini, spent time taking pictures etc etc. So, how it looks like:

Initially. Till it's time to deliver, I realized that the cake was supposed to have black outlines here and there. Macam orang gila, I made the royal icing which should be the fastest way instead of kena uli fondant kan. By the time nak did the lining, told myself that I should calm down and concentrate.....NOT. Hence, the final product. Teruk gila outlines suma senget benget cos aku mengigil nak rushing konon.
I should have stopped without the lining. Or should I.

Despite, Ida text-ed me telling how happy her daughter was with the birthday cake. Other guests were impressed too.

Thanks for ordering!

Mickey Mouse Fondant Birthday Cake

This is a birthday cake which I made for Nasya, who is a huge fan of Mickey Mouse. Mai has a very clear idea of what she wanted when she placed the order, so senang.

It's all chocolate cake with hazelnut filling. Yummey gila tak hingat, okay! Took me and hubby a lot of hard work and many many hours to complete, but very fun to make. We started at 630pm and only finished at 4am.


We were so nervous with the final product. As the surface was not as smooth as we expected. But all the hard work and effort were paid off when I hear Mai's happy voices!

Magical Night-Themed Princess Cake

Ordered by Juana for her niece's birthday on Sunday, which is the day after her birthday. Juana took a picture of a princess cake from a magazine and requested I make the same for her niece. Such a sporting auntie, eh??

30th Birthday Cake

A birthday cake ordered by THE birthday girl herself, Ms. Juana for her BIG 30-owH.

This is actually her 1st time ordering from Izzy B. Juana already has the idea of a black&white theme-d party. So, she has requested for the cake to be in that same colors. We spent so much time brain-storming on the design of the cake. And finally settled for one on Tuesday.

To Juana, Happy 30TH Birthday! Hope u like my cake, yeah. May GOD bless you with all the happiness and best of health till forEVER...

Marble Cake

Made this for Raya Open House upon request by Queen of the House who is not very fond of chocolate.

As seen in the picture; Butter cake with stripes of melted chocolate.

Simple Tiramisu

En Suami requested this for quite some time now. Got the recipe from here. Sedap but the bitterness from coffee and cocoa powder overpower the overall taste.

Chocolate Cake Gone Wrong

Of course the picture does not do justice to the taste of the cake.

;-p

Kek Batik

Found the recipe from internet. The steps should have been easier though. Will try the recipe posted at Bagus newsletter in the future.
