Topsy Turvy

1st try at Topsy Turvy Cake

Tiresome weekend.
Took off on Sat to start on Dongyou cake that morning.
But cat called n inform that DY will be
selecting the calculator & drumstick procedure for his 1st bday.
So after researching for barely 30min,
i prep to go over to Cat house.

Went back in the afternoon n check the supplies i need to get for the cake.
Darling drove me Chip Bee garden to get the Varlhona's chocolate
& some supplies from PH.
Reach home & start immediately on my marshmellow fondant.
I tested the fondant during the week earlier on.
Made 2 batch of it then prep to follow mum to dinner at Grand Shanghai.

Reach home from the dinner only close to 12am!!!
Cos of the bad jam on PIE.
Start the cake baking immediately & ask darling to help out.
I counted that i need to bake at least one 9' & three 6'.
The baking only finish at 4.30am!!!

Woke up at 8am the next morning to continue with the assembly
& making of cakepop.
Didnt finish the whole cake til its close to 1pm!
Rush over to Cat house for cake cutting.
So didnt really manage to take a very good photo of the cake at home.

The fondant start sweating soon after i covered the cake.
Kinda diasterious, but nonetheless,
manage to stay upright throughtout the whole event, lol.
Told chun the next time i wanna try layering with a layer of marzipan
before i drap the fondant over.
And i MUST start at least 2 days earlier next time to avoid the rush.

The chocolate cake, as its name was, was really very very rich.
Cos i use up almost 500g of 55% cocoa for all the cakes & chocolate ganache.
I will try out alternating layer of vanilla & chocolate next time!
Will definately look prettier.

Literally, a very very sweet 1st birthday

Rush over to Geralyn 1st month at 3.30 like this,
she've grown so much!
Look so different from the time she was born,
I hope she'll grow up healthy & happy!

Geralyn loves my red pentax as much as i do,
she smile almost instantaneously chun when he took out to take photo of her
