Butter Cake

Made this cake for BL's father's 70th birthday celebration. This is the first time that I've made such a big cake. It's a 9" x 18" butter cake and weighs 4kg. Baking the cake is a lot easier than I thought. However the difficult part is in the decoration especially in getting a smooth surface for the cake. Still need a lot more practise to perfect this skill. I managed better this time using Tan See Fong's "magic scrapper". That piece of plastic-looking sheet is rather expensive but it really works wonders.


Also made another 3kg carrot cake for BL's uncle for this combo birthday celebration. Didn't manage to take a pic before the cake was whisked away...... need better planning next time :)
