Rainbow choo choo train cake...

This is yet another breakthrough for Jembakes with 3D cakes after the pirates ship!

Sherlyn, my er jie's colleague wanted to order a rainbow train for her son's Caleb's birthday and this is yet another challenge for me on sculpting 3D cakes but I gladly took up the challenge with the trust that Sherlyn placed on me.

So I baked a 10" round choc fudge cake and started cutting them into pieces and fixing them up together to form a train shape.

I know that at this stage it looks really unappetizing but at least the train form is there after much fixing up. So the next step is to wrap the train up with fondant and this is quite a headache as it is not a 2D shape where I can wrap it up in one go and I have not tried to wrap an abnormal shape like this before (previously for the pirate ship I actually cut up the fondant into rectangular sheets like wooden planks and fixed it onto the cake one by one). So for this, I tried to cover it up in two portions but it was quite untidy and I have to do a lot of cosmetic changes to it to cover up the flaws. LOL.

The train head.

The final product.

Sherlyn specifically wanted a rainbow track as her son's recent craze is on rainbow. I'm really pleased with the final product where the train looks really bright and colourful. Sherlyn says Caleb loves the rainbow choo choo train! Check out Caleb with the cake below:

 I'm so glad they love the cake and hope Caleb had a bright and happy 3rd birthday!

For a pair of drinking buddies...

This is a special order for a pair of my friends whose birthdays are just a day apart and therefore we decided to give them a surprise birthday celebration. As they got to know each other through drinking together, I decided to make a beer with the two of them on it to signify that they are drinking buddies. LOL. 

This is the 3rd beer mug cake that I have made so I'm getting better at it now. And it is so coincidental that their initials ended up as "WXYZ". LOL.

Check out the surprise birthday celebration below:

Christmas cake...

Christmas is the season that I loved most throughout the year and it's coming again! And this year I'm really efficient and am done with all the christmas shopping for the gift exchanges. LOL. Enough of the sidetracking and my first order for christmas cake came from Cherie from LTA whereby they are having a small celebration in the office and would like to order a christmas cake.

Really love the end results and the christmasy feel to it with the addition of the christmas element toppers. Hope they had a lovely christmas celebration!

Polka dots cake and cupcakes set...

An order from Huey who is having a first month celebration for her daughter Gwyneth. This is my first time doing an order for first month celebration (mostly had orders for first year celebration instead). LOL. So she's having a polka dots party for her daughter and requested the cake to be in pastel coloured polka dots theme. She also wanted mini cupcakes to go round the two-tier cake as she is having quite a big crowd for the party.

I thought the cake looks quite plain without something on the top tier so I placed some colourful balloon toppers on it.

When I delivered the cake to the party, it was housed at a very warm and cosy condo's clubhouse and they had pastel coloured polka dots balloons tied up along the stairs as well. I hope the cake goes well with the polka dots theme and they had a fun party!

Personalized thank you cupcakes...

This is another order from Bin Li where she has previously order a set of drummers cupcakes. Check it out below if you have not:

So this time round she wanted to give cupcakes to her colleagues to thank them and she wanted female and male faced cupcakes with a thank you tag on it. This is quite a neat and easy order and here's the end result.

Hope her colleagues like it!
