全家最愛的芒果慕思

 小兒子大學快放春假，加上最近天天下雨，週末無法打球，待在家中又想進廚房烘培，做好吃的點心歡迎小孩回家。最近休市頓超市的芒果又甜又好吃。買了一箱放在家裡，味道很香，靈機ㄧ動，何不拿幾粒芒果來做成我們ㄧ家都愛吃的“芒果慕斯”。這週末小兒子回到家，驚喜又開心地看到媽媽做給他和哥哥吃的“芒果慕斯“，（爸爸現在盡量限制甜食）,但他們也很節制，ㄧ天只吃ㄧ塊，希望這“芒果慕斯“伴著他們度過ㄧ個甜甜的春假。

Pink Flowers Bed Cake

I made two cakes this month. one was pineapple cake for a office staff and the other one was for a Bible study group member who was also my good friend - Suan( the cake shown above). This cake was for my friend's birthday so I used red (resembles luck in Chinese) as the basic color. On the top of the cake I designed small pink flowers with leaves. Unfortunately, this cake was ruined while I was taking pictures of it. My youngest son tried to offer words of comfort by telling me, "Mom, people go to Bible study to worship God. They will not mind if the cake is smashed!" It was true. But later on I tried to fix the ruined area, so it was hard to tell where was the ruined area from the picture shown above.

Pineapple Cake For February Birthday Star

This cake was finished in a very short amount of time. Ryan's birthday was on Friday, but he had to leave the office earlier on that day. So we decided to celebrate his birthday on Thursday. Beth told me about making a cake on Monday. So on Wednesday I baked a cake. Then on Thurday morning I made butter cream for the decoration. I probably would make another cake for our church's small group , so I thought I would decorate Ryan's cake Thursday night (I forgot what Beth told me). On Thurday morning, Beth called and remind me, "Melinda, please don't forget we will celebrate Ryan's birthday today." Oh, My God, I was about to go to office but I hadn't decorated his cake. Thank God, I already finished his birthday card yesterday otherwise it was impossible to finish two things in very short time.

I ran to the kitchen, and took out everything I already prepared yesterday, but in my mind I had not prepared how I will decorate the cake. I prayed before starting to design it . I looked inside my pantry room to see what I could find to decorate it. Because the cake was designed for a male, I decided not to put flowers decorations on his cake. I had a can of pineapples along with pineapple paste, blue color icing to match the blue birthday card I made for him. After I prayed, many ideas kept coming out of my mind. and I took these ideas to design and finish my cake. Thank God for giving me creative ideas for this cake in very short time.

Happy Birthday To Dora and Melissa B

In the month of January, Dora and Melissa's birthdays came up, so I took this great opportunity to specifically design a cake for them. I used light pink colored butter cream to make flowers and borders. I also used lemon greeen butter cream to make the leaves and inner border design. This cake was designed for two ladies' birthdays which is why I used these two colors for a softer feeling.

The beginning motivation to learn how to design cakes was to give a surprise for my son's (Andrew) 18 years old birthday. Now Cake Designing has became one of my favorite hobbies.
