Purple the colour of royalty, for Gerlyn

I am really behind in my blogging. But my motto is - better late than never. I have almost 10 months of posts to catch up on, and I vow to do it slowly but surely! ;) Leaving the backlog behind, I'm going to write about my last bake for September 2014 first.

I get a lot of referrals from my friends, lucky me! At end August, I received a Whatsapp message from my pal Kok Seng, telling me that his colleague wanted to order a cake for his daughter. Soon after, Gary send me a message too, with the details for the order.

A 6" chocolate cake, covered with baby pink fondant. Bottom half of the cake had dark purple asymmetrical pieces, a white ribbon bow and a rope divides the cake into 2. The cute lilac giraffe purple spots sits on top of the cake.

The emphasis is that little Gerlyn, is hugely fond of the colour purple. The giraffe topper also had to be purple. My eyes lit up, at the mention of a purple giraffe. I thought it would be such a fun project and I loved making pretty cakes and also cute toppers.
