seems so long, seems more than 4 years...
and this year, i could make and ice my own cake! it wasn't really that perfect, but i'd tried my best.
i tried the lace nicholas lodge ever written in his book The Art of Sugarcraft: Lace and Filigree. i used chocolate. i didn't really understand how to temper this chocolate, for me it turned out good. 
tracing the lines after lines was fun. i love drawing. i'm good at it. so this is just dropping ink on to a baking sheet! moreover, it's edible!
i tried to do another template as i thought, oh i would make a pink cake with pink centerpiece and a dark pink lace. i imagined it would be so beautiful on cake. 
but it didn't turn out good as the run-out was wet and stick on the baking sheet. i thought it was my mistake because i didn't do the right measurement of sugar and the egg white. next time, i'll do it right.
so, well, i thought i was just going to use those chocolate for centerpiece. i made a sponge cake, and iced it as soon as it was cold. i didn't have a proper tool to slide on to the cake and sides, they call it a cake smoother. oh well, i just needed to improvise it with stick my fork around it. that would do.
the heart template i made with chocolate again. my mistake was i didn't draw them, so they would have the same size. i just drew them directly onto the baking sheet. too clever, ey? 
anyway, the cake's done. took me 5 hours to get it right (mind you, i've got two kids and a hubby to feed within the making of the cake) 
Wow that is impressive Arfi.
