Happy Birthday Aunty Vijaya!

This is the second time my buddy colleague ordered cakes from me!  

Hi Shantha! **waves**  Glad you like my creation that you have come back again and again and even a third cake - her boy's birthday too!   (to be featured in the next post!)

This time, the cake for mommy!

Again, the design is left entirely to my own devices!  I love how people trusted me enough to work creatively on their cakes. 

The freedom to let my imagination flow is so liberating.  Almost therapeutical.  You should try it sometimes.   

I thought of a two layer cake, light and moist.  With tangy orange curd as filling which I spread generously in between the layers.  

The cake layers turned out beautifully.  Look how flat it is.  Sweet success!  


I like that the crumb is so fine.  


Crumb coat with a layer of thin buttercream. 


The buttercream is also flavoured with orange.  Not from essence but real orange whizzed to a fine pulp.                           


Aunty Vijaya is the birthday girl here - so "MOM" it is!  
Roses for the lady! 


Like a rose garden.

Finished product. 


Hope you like it!
