My friendship cake

14:28 | Publish by bhelle


This cake was made on the day when my friends and I had gatherings. It was also the day when my friend Rick and his girlfriend announced that they are going to get married this coming November 8 of this year.

This is also the first time that they taste my newly found way of making icing and the filling I put in the cake. I was so happy with the comments I received from my friends.

LOL... I named this cake as a friendship cake... even though, this was done in a hurry but I baked and decorated it with all my heart.

Finding Nemo Birthday Cake

20:12 | Publish by bhelle


This Finding Nemo theme birthday cake was baked and decorated by myself. I never thought I could make this amazingly beautiful cake. The theme was suggested by my eldest son who knew he had this theme when he celebrated his first birthday too. When you look at the design it looks like very detailed and complicated, yes it is! For the me as a new cake decorator I felt difficult at first, I had so many attempts when I did every details.

The arch was made of rice crispy. This was made ahead of time because it takes time to get hard. I made the arch about 1 week in advance. Some details on the arch I made two days before the party like mushroom or something. Several attempt were made before I satisfied with the result. Although, it was not really perfect yet I was really satisfied, it made me so proud.

Fishes Dorry and Marlin were made by my friend (Gerasil) who is also good in baking and decorating cake. All other fishes, Nemo, the turtle, etc were created by myself.

The cake on the left side is Vanilla cake and on the right is Strawberry cake, frosted with buttercream icing.

Computer Theme Cake

21:59 | Publish by bhelle

This cake was ordered by my friend (Greta) for her boyfriend's 40th birthday (now her husband). This design is not really complicated, very basic and everyone can do it. All the stuffs like screen, keyboard and the mouse were made of rice crispy and covered with fondant.

It is a Strawberry Chiffon Cake with fresh strawberry filling and butter cream icing. The cake is covered with fondant. I chose to make the fondant a marble look-a- like to distinguish that it is a computer desk. 

Making a keyboards is a little bit tricky, you must divide it carefully since the size is small to fir the letters and the numbers. However, you can chose not to do so to save time.

Although, this was my second time decorating and covering cake with fondant I can tell that I made a very big improvements. Yay! the fondant cover is almost perfect. I was really happy with the results and the feedback I heard from the guests of the celebrant were awesome. It made my heart melt and convinced me that I can really bake and decorate an awesome cake.

The recipe Strawberry Chiffon Cake I found online: Martha Stewart website.

Basket Weave Birthday Cake

21:15 | Publish by bhelle

My friend (Jean) ordered this basket weaved design birthday cake for her mother in law. This was made in a rush hour. I felt so worried that she may not like the cake but I got a good feedback that the celebrant liked the cake very much.


The cake was Vanilla cake filled with strawberry jam. I got the recipe from cake boss website. Anyhow, This was the second time I tried the Basket-weave technique in decorating cake. Looking at the design, its looks very simple and easy to do however, its not really easy, it really need more careful because you might forget whether vertical or you are already in the horizontal line. As new to this technique I forgot several lines but I managed to hide it with some decorations like the flowers or the leaves on it or around it.

The flowers I made were a combination of butter cream icing, royal icing and gum-paste. In my experienced, it is really not good idea to decorate cake in a rush because if you make mistake there will be no time to fix it. Fortunately in my case I have made several royal icing flowers and gum-paste flowers so it turned it very handy.

By the way, thanks to my friend Jean who trusted and gave me an opportunity to explore my creativity.

Birthday and Baptism Frozen Cake

21:09 | Publish by bhelle

Quite challenging making this cake because I am an expert in making figures but I really tried my best to make it looks good.

As a beginner, making 3D figures ofQueen Elsa and Princess Anna is not easy to do but I really tried the hardest since I promised ate Yolanda to make a sugar figure and also I want to let myself experience the beauty of making these figures. LOL'z, applying the make up is really not my crafts. Well, at least they're look like a girls.

Olaf is my favorite figure I made for this cake. He is very easy to make. Olaf should be at the top of the cake, however Queen Elsa is bigger so I have no choice to change their position.

Since it is Erica's baptism too, I add the rosary beads and cross in the middle to complete the theme and tell to the visitors and guests that she celebrated two different events in one.

Thanks to Ate Yolanda for trusting me to make this wonderful cake theme design. It is really my pleasure to do this sweets arts.

Aquarium Birthday Cake

20:25 | Publish by bhelle

This cake was heartily made for my friend Jovelyn's baby "Jean-Louis" who was celebrated his first birthday on September 12, 2014. I was the one who offer to make this cake as my gift to her baby. It took me a lot of time making the fondant sea creatures as my decorations. 

My friend Jovelyn made a request what sea creatures to be included on the cake and it was really an honor to make those fondant creatures of course, it helped me to practice these crafts.

Making this cake made my family and I so happy being part of this important occasion especially that my friend allowed me to create this cake. The bottom cake was Mocha cake filled with custard cream and the top was a rainbow cake filled with custard cream also. It was covered with Swiss butter cream icing while the decorations were made of fondant.

To make the cake more alive, I decided to put an aquarium with three guppies fishes on it. On top of it, was a giant octopus where one of his tail held the number 1.

Although, it took me a lot of time to complete and finish the whole cake but it was really worth it, when I saw the finished product and have a nice feedback from the people I don't even know, it was like I won a lotto. Charot!!!

Chrysanthemum flower cake design

21:10 | Publish by bhelle


It was requested by my daughter to bake her favorite Mochacake with the chrysanthemum flower on top. This was 6 inches by 3 inches. This design was part of my practice in decorating cake. It was a little bit tricky in holding the icing bag and in applying the pressure on it. However, if we have patience and determined to pursue nothing is really impossible. Just trust in yourself that you could do it.

Decorating cake before was just a dream and I thought, it will remained as part of my fantasy. Yes! I am a dreamer. I dreamed to bake and decorate cake particularly icing flowers and this was it! This was one of my cute and simple flower design.
Thanks to my daughter who believes that I have the ability to learn new things. My daughter is one of my biggest fan who always trust and think that everything in this world is always possible.

So far, it was another best practice. My daughter was really ecstatic with the outcome. She told me that it was like a real flower. I really love how she reacted, LOL!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
