My brother-in law got hitched early June and as a norm my gift is usually a cake for the hantaran. I dare not risk again another tiered cake coz my first attempt literally melted! I transported the cake all well and good from KL to Taiping. It survived till the nite before the ceremony and I decorated it then. Luckly i managed to take pictures of it BEFORE it tragically melted. I was soo eager to have it displayed on the main table but i suppose that's where my real mistake was.Besides being in the dampest place in Malaysia, the conditions were not favourable for fondant. But my sister in-law, had to make one this time around and the cake didn't fall the same fate. And I couldn't come up with the reasons, too much or not enough icing sugar, kneading..?? What? What? Only now I came to realize maybe my eagerness have taken the best of me , to display my pride. So I could be complimented upon, so that i could be seen as great. Maybe that was the factor...the higher being reminds me who is great and all my eagerness for wanting to be seen as good have blinded me.
How all this fit in a cake? I don't know. All I can say is, sorry Qaf. I didn't make you a wedding cake as I did your brother. Despite then I was a newbie, this experience have taught me a good deal. Without sincerity in our work, there will be unfavourable consequences.
Selamat Pengantin Baru, Qaf and Nat.
