Tinkerbell Pink Cake

 Hi all readers.... apology for been silence for quite a while... am having a break for a while to relax my body and mind... time to clear many overdue chores while I'm having a week break from works during Gawai Holiday. It has been a week since Liana's birthday and only now am posting the cake and recipe.... I am on Global Corporate Challenge (GCC) and hence I need to be on move all the time in order to strike 10,000 step everyday for 100 days. Sitting down behind the computer too long is no longer a choice for now.... Anyway, I have striked over 13,000 steps today and can afford to enjoy late supper and am stealing sometime tonight to do this update while waiting for the food to be digested before bedtime... hehe!

 Liana made a request for her birthday cake months ago that she wanted a Tinkerbell cake with leafy gown. We just returned from our long distance trip which was few days before her birthday. I had time only on her birthday itself to look for a Tinkerbell doll but to no success and instead found the tiny ones. So I had to modify an ordinary doll into a Tinkerbell by replacing her hair with yellow fondant.... As for the cake, it was an easy choice as Liana always like pink cake. So I made a four-tone pink cake and happy with the outcome.

I used my favourite White Butter Cake and color it pink. The outcome is very nice lovely pink.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera kekawan semua dan para pembaca yang di kasihi. Ini entri terlewat sebab nak berihat sebentar... tambahan pula musim cuti umum Gawai ni, banyak kerja2 yang perlu di dahulukan. Walau bagaimana pun, Along tetap akan kembali ke udara apabila masa mengizinkan.

Kek harijadi Liana pada tahun ni, mama dia buat sendiri atas permintaan Liana yg mahukan kek Tinkerbell. Patung Tinkerbell tak jumpa pun dah cari merata2, so mama dia pandai2 ler modify sendiri.... Along botakkan patung yg biasa tu dan buat rambut & sanggul Tinkerbell menggunakan fondant... kendian letak patung2 Tinkerbell yg cenoni jer tu.... bukan main gembira lagi Liana terjerit2 riang tak sabar nak potong kek dia...

 Ada sedikit kesilapan pada teknik... Lainkali kena guna buttercream untuk salut di bawah fondant tu. Along guna whipped cream dan ia kurang stabil... skirt daun tinkerbell tu berat sebab di buat dari fondant so dia melurut ke bawah... kena lah Along patch up semula dgn meletak bunga di tengah2 nya... tu yang jadi comot pula sedikit.

Kek di dalam nya pula, Along guna White Butter Cake sebab senang untuk di warnakan dan cantik. Along guna empat tone warna pink supaya nampak lebih ceria dan menyelerakan sebab Liana memang suka kek warna pink.
