cake and roses

i was not suppose to bake a cake or rather my mum was not suppose to bake one today but since i was so eager to practice my roses technique , she thought , why not ... in fact i did practice my roses yesterday but due to some technical fault and i can't say it was a technical fault , it was my fault.... for adding too much sugar syrup that my icing was too runny .. i got so upset .. and i did not want to do it again .......... ever .... my confidence hit rock bottom ....



and then .. i woke up at 3 am and decided that i will try making my icing again and this time I'd go easy on the sugar syrup ....6 am i was already up bear in mind i also have to get ready for church....


measured the amount i wanted and started ... kept the sugar syrup aside and went to church ... the minute i got back , everything was in full swing ....once icing was done , i set to work... my roses became squarish .. i did not give up . since i have a lot of wafer cone ... why not, give another go ..

after trying for like a 100 times i finally could see my roses taking shape .. not a pro yet but i managed to make simple rose buds and i was happy ... however i still need to practice ...


then mum , told me that she will bake a cake and wants me to ice it ..... it's done , it looks great and i still need to practice with the right tools ... but i am not worried as CNY is around the corner and i will be on leave , i will take the opportunity to make more cakes , cup cakes and eat them by myself ...
