Barney And Friends Sugar Figurine

As much as I love baking and decorating cakes, there are times when I'm not able to cope with the demand of my daytime work and my family commitments. Time is so precious and sometimes I wish I have more than 24 hours a day and that my body doesn't need so much of sleep.. :) That would be impossible I know..LOL..Being said that, I just love what I'm doing at the moment and I feel happy that I'm able to do little things like these that could make a little child happier..:) OK enough of my ramblings..:)

I wasn't able to accept an order by a friend for a whole cake with figurines for a particular day. Hence, I was commissioned to do figurines of Barney and Friends instead. The figurines would be placed on a cake which would be done by someone else.

Ok let the pictures do the talking.. and here they are..

This is B.J

This is Baby Bop.

I just love how this picture turns out..blurry figure in front and sharp focused figure at the back..and even more blurred background... Sorry I'm not familiar with those photography terms..lol.. but I do love the art of photography too..

From the Left: Baby Bop, Barney and B.J. They all come with little presents for the birthday boy..:) Actually, there's another orange colored character called Riff who is Baby Bop and B.J's cousin. Maybe next time I will try to do Riff if I ever get the chance to mould these again..ehhe:)

Happy 1st Birthday to Nicholas! Thanks Onalia for trusting me with these..:) I hope Nicholas had a great birthday bash..:)

Barney in The Wiggles' Car Cake

It was such a coincidence that I received 3 orders for a 3D car cake for the past 2 months. Even before I posted my 1st Lightning McQueen Car for Evelyn in August, I've already received an advance order from Cavy for the Wiggles car, and also the BMW car from Zima.  Looks like a car themed cake is very popular for boys/guys' birthday. I can now venture into car making only...ha!..:D

Who doesn't know The Wiggles? That's ME! Not until I got to do this..LOL.. That's what I love about doing thematic novelty cakes. I learnt something new each time I need to do a research on the specific theme and that makes life more interesting but of course more challenging. There's so many versions of The Wiggles Cake at the search engine. Cavy's idea was to have her kid's favourite Barney figurine to be seated in The Wiggles car and the 'Happy Birthday' wordings to be placed on the top front of the car.

So this is how it came about. I added more presents on the passenger seat to make it looked like this happy Barney is bringing presents especially for Jovan. On top of that, I added the plastic balloons to compliment the theme and to make it look more colourful and cheerful.

Red, yellow, purple, and blue are the main colours incorporated in The Wiggles theme. Check this out to know them better..:)

The Barney figurine and all other decorations were made of fondant/edible gumpaste except for the plastic balloons, windscreen and spotlights.

Thanks Cavy for your continuous support and hope you're satisfied with the cake. Happy 1st Birthday to Jovan. He's such a cute boy and soon-to-be a handsome young man. :)

Party with Barney and Friends

I love you..

You love me..

We're best friends like friends should be..

With a great big hug and

A kiss from me to you...

Won't you say you love me too?

I really love this theme song for Barney and friends. A famous children TV show produced in the U.S. aimed at very young children ages 1-4. This show conveys learning through songs and small dance routines with a friendly, optimistic attitude.

The title character Barney - A purple T-Rex dinosaur in stuffed animal likeness.

Baby Bop - A green Triceratop dinosaur. She wears a ribbon on her head.

B.J. - A yellow Protoceratop dinosaur. He wears a red baseball cap and a pair of red sneakers.

Party with Barney and friends commissioned by Carol for her cute little girl Ethel Cade who turns one. It was a chocolate moist cake filled with chocolate ganache, covered with milk buttercream and decorated with fondant figurines. All figurines were handmade and edible except for the number 1 candle.  The sides of the cake were piped to resemble a basket weave design.

Along with the cake, was a set of 25 cupcakes with the same theme. They were vanilla buttermilk cupcakes filled with strawberry pie filling and covered with strawberry flavoured buttercream.

All cupcake toppers were made of fondant/sugarpaste.

I like it when I am given ample time and notice for an order. This order was placed way back in May.. almost 2 months before the date of delivery. This way, I have more time in doing the planning and some research on how to execute this project. Yes, I call it a project.. heheh..

All ready for collection. Happy 1st Birthday to little angel Ethel Cade. Thanks Caroline for the order and your great feedback made my day :).
