Creating Celebration Cakes
Whenever I have the opportunity to get near to any wedding or birthday cakes, I become more conscious of the colours, originality and designs of the cakes. I believe there is no right or wrong to any designs cos its very much to individual taste, creativity and of course budget. But I do get to learn mistakes from others besides learning some special skills that I may be lacking.
Personally, I just love creating any celebration cakes, be it birthdays or weddings. Transforming a simple cake into something that can become a showcase takes lots of patience, creativity, love and passion. Be open, listen and accept criticsm, learning from mistakes and always strive to explore new ideas are some basic principles that I follow.

Tips
Splitting Cake Layers: Split cake by pulling a piece of heavy sewing thread horiontally, back and forth through the cake.
Leftover egg whites can be stored covered in the refrigerator 7 to 10 days. To freeze egg whites, place in a plastic ice cube tray, then remove the frozen cubes to a plastic freezer bag for storage. Thaw frozen whites in the refrigerator.
Over creaming causes the cake to sink when its baked, under creaming gives a stiff textured cake
Perfect Buttercream Icing: Beat the mixture for long enough. Aim to beat it for several minutes until it is very smooth and creamy. Ensure that icing sugar is sifted (perferably twice) .
