Mother's Day 2009 - Cherry Blossom!

So. My sister C told me we're celebrating a themed celebration for Mother's Day at Church. She asked if I could make cakes / cupcakes for the occassion. (As if I'm going to turn down any chance making cake... hehehe) The theme is Japanese / Cherry Blossom, and I thought of making mini cakes for the moms :)

Well first let me show you what the youth team did. See the Japanese table? Pretty good job eh?

And here's the mini cakes, 1 each for the mom :) It's chocolate cake, covered with fondant and decorated with fondant flowers with chocolate branches :)

Another closer look at the table. See my cakes are placed in between the place mat. Man they did a nice job with the table :)

Plus see what the moms are getting. Special treatment only. See the Japanese curry, the tempura, and the miso soup? (and my cake of course, heh heh) Mmmm.... Great job guys!

And of course you can't forget the other people coming too, so here's some cherry blossom cupcakes :D *60 pieces!* :D

So I spent all night doing those... lol... and enjoying every minute even as my kitchen is turning into a big giant mess (Icings and chocolates everywhere! But I cleaned up ;)

As I was cutting the mini flowers one by one (yes, hundreds of them and spending 2 hrs on it alone) I remember saying to C: "You better not change the theme"... hahaha... thankfully they didn't. *Phew!*

And here's a final look at the 9 mini cakes I did. I received some compliments too, (on looks and taste) so that made my day ^_^

P.S: Special thanks for Moniq for the pictures... heh heh heh :)
