This is my 3rd cake.

It has been a year since i baked and built my first cake for my daughter’s birthday. This year, she is asking for ‘Butterflies’ themed birthday. After doing my research, i found a design i really like from pinterest nadia38 thus my cake is inspired by the Pink & Gold wedding cake.

After revisiting all my saved youtube videos, i am glad that i spent less time crumb-coating my cakes as well as put on a fondant compared to last year. Pick up some handy tips from yenersway pastillage as I want to have the butterflies flying around on the high side instead of leaving it on the cake. So happy the pastillage works!!

The cake looks like a wedding cake 😆, i have so many pastillage swirl sticks, butterflies, gold leaves and flowers left. Feel wasted if i din use it and throw it away. I keep reminding myself LESS is MORE to refrain myself adding more n more decorations.

My 5 yo loves the cake so much, and i received a lot of compliments from friends and even people from the restaurant. I am really happy and proud of this masterpiece. A small regret is that I didnt have enough time to take some good pictures of the cake and now it has gone.

Again, I have to thank to my “teachers” – whoever shares their videos on youtube about crumb-coating, stacking, putting on fondant..etc! I also would like to thank yenersway for sharing all the useful tips in his free tutorials, of cause the pastillage recipe also!!
