Anyhow, here's the cake that kick started the year - Rubber Ducky!
Mummy E was in love with the yellow and blue theme when she was researching for party ideas, there were so many wonderful examples of dessert tables with that theme and it seemed perfect for her little boy who was turning one. Who doesn't love a rubber ducky in the bath :)
The cake was a simple two-tiered cake with a fondant rubber ducky topper. Some of the dessert items included Konnyaku jelly bath with a floating rubber ducky and duck-shaped cookies with assorted sprinkles that kids can DIY themselves.
Here's a look at the ensemble...

The fondant ducky was made by the hubby upon my request. He has a knack for simple forms and proportion so I knew he'd do a great job...now if only I could get him to work for me ha!

It's the first time I'm helping to put together a dessert table, and also the first time I'm making desserts with Konnyaku jelly. It's a delicious dessert that can be easily coloured so it's great when you have to create a colour theme. The best part is it's sort of a health food. Did you know that konnyaku is high in fibre and ideal for detoxification? Perfect diet food!

Making this order also made me realised how limited my production capacity is. The baker is willing but the space is small. My poor oven and fridge have been overworked. I think it may be time to really contemplate taking the next step. Watch this space for updates.
