Rustic Glam Wedding {D + M}

We had the pleasure of designing a wedding cake, croquembouche and homemade marshmallows for Diba and Mahathir's "Rustic Glam" wedding over the weekend.

The wedding was ah-ma-zing-ly beautiful, set at the Lake Club in Putrajaya. Kudos to the bride and groom for braving an outdoor reception in this unpredictable Malaysian weather, but they managed to pull it off flawlessly!

Photos of the yummies, if you please:

Diba wanted a twist to her cream puff flavours, so the couple opted for a half lychee and half pandan creme anglais filling for the croquembouche.

The homemade (no corn syrup) marshmallows were dipped in melted dark chocolate and chopped almonds and pistachios.

The 5-tier wedding cake was a sweet take of the bride's favourite green tea and strawberries cake by Lanka, a Japanese bakery based in London.

Antique Flowers and Vintage Gold

And here's another wedding cake we made for a beautiful bride. It has antique-looking flowers in peach with vintage gold leaves, set on a mint green buttercream covered cake.

Pearls and Ribbon Roses

So it's that time of the year again. Weddings.

Here's the Pearls and Ribbon Rose wedding hantaran cake we made for Datin Paduka Norshiha's son, Ashraf. 

It was all peachy orange outside and moist chocolate and peanut buttery on the inside. 

Thank you for the order, Datin Paduka!

Lace and Pearl

Inspired by these two beautiful creations, we made a 3-tier wedding cake for this weekend. 

And here is the masterpiece. Isn't it adorable?

Our First Wedding

So there was a wedding this weekend, and hey-ho, it was our first bride-groom client! We were mighty excited and made these for them. Weeee~

Here are the hantaran cupcakes. They're turquoise and purple with hints of silver to follow the wedding theme colours and they're inspired by traditional Malay wedding ornaments. We have the compulsory "Tepak Sireh" in the middle, escorted left and right by the traditional attire for Malay bride and groom. Then we have, below the Tepak Sireh, the groom's headgear or "Tanjak" and the traditional Malay weaponry, "Keris". The four damask designs bordering the rest of the cupcakes mimics a "Songket" design pattern up close.

Makes you want to get married everyday now, doesn't it?

The 2-tier wedding cake was a turquoise gradient rosette strawberry cake and a purple gradient ruffle cake, adorned with silver orchids.

The best part of the cake (as is many other things), is the 'soul': 4 layers of strawberry cake with whipped strawberry French cream (that tastes just like strawberry ice-cream!) and 4 layers of dark chocolate cake with Oreos cream cheese Swiss meringue buttercream.

Phew! That was a mouthful, oh, and, so is the cake!
