My first fondant cake!


We all see those creative, cute and beautiful fondant cakes and they are best to order/make for a loved one to mirror their lives, personality, relationship etc. I wanted to give it a try too! =D
So, perfect time was here; my husband's 26th birthday was coming up and I thought to give him a birthday surprise. Now it wasn't easy to decide the theme of the cake as he is not a very easy-to-understand human being (that he is). My ideas flowed from one to another:

1) Minion cake with One in a minion tag.

2) Music note cake.

3) A cake to represent his current life! (yes that was it)




"Saen Tou Saen", is a saying in my husband's native language, Sindhi. "Saen" mean "sir", so the whole phrase can loosely be translate to "Sir is Sir". Sindhi men are known for their mustache and this explains the idea pretty much.
Ring is to celebrate our relationship and feeder to cherish our newly bestowed parenthood.
Yalla enough with my blabber, I will now share links I used to put up this cake together.

Make your fondant first, I made it a week before:


Make chocolate mousse a day ahead:


Recipe of Chocolate Pound Cake

These are some basic recipes I followed and for figures just use your imagination or find a tutorial online.


- Don't forget to crumb coat your cake with some whipped cream or butter cream before applying your fondant.

- Let the cake cool completely before doing anything with it at all!


That's it! Now go make a grocery list for your upcoming baking adventure :D
