Birthday cake thread 6

[Grayce]

^^that's the EXACT same cake peg I showed to Gel Colet which she executed beautifully.

Ramtin's bakery will create my sons birthday cake. The good thing about it is it will only cost me P3,000 for this design:

edible lahat ng layers sis sa 3k na yun?

[Grayce]

^duda akong edible lahat ng layers pag ganyan tapos 3k. mine was already at 6k tapos sa baba lang ang edible.

[iluvmysoldier]

baka lang..hehe

^duda akong edible lahat ng layers pag ganyan tapos 3k. mine was already at 6k tapos sa baba lang ang edible.

Edible sya lahat according to the owner of Ramtin's bakery. I also asked Gel Colett and was quoted 6k which is way out of my budget. Mura na talaga to for a fondant cake. What I'm worried about though is kung magagaya nya exactly what the picture shows. Based naman dun sa mga gawa nya sa Sulit, okay naman. I'm hoping for the best.

[iluvmysoldier]

^sana maganda pagkagawa sis  balitaan mo kami kung ok siya pati ang taste narin...by the way, san pala ang Ramtin's?

[Grayce]

^^fondant rin? if yes ang mura nga nya. have you tried their cakes already?

[hunny_ally]

^baka mura kasi baguhan pa compared kina gel. They're not yet as established and wala pang niche-market. May napagtanungan din ako ganyan din yung price range yung quote sa akin. Fondant too. But ayaw ni hubby kasi when we asked for samples, yung Mickey mouse niya according to my husband looks like a "walking dead"

[Grayce]

^natawa ako sa walking dead LOL siguro nga.

[iluvmysoldier]

hehe may nakita din akong ganon sa facebook. gumagawa din ng cakes pero d masyado kilala. mickey mouse yung cake pero parang hindi na marecognize kasi mukhang nalusaw na fondant ang ichura 

ask ko ulit, wala pang nakatry ng Regali Kitchen? i found them on facebook, mukhang ok naman ang designs nila

[Kermy]

Well, yes it's quite scary but for me who's on a limited budget, i might take the risk. Lahat naman ng cake suppliers may kasamang risk din. 

Ramtin's bakery is located in sampaloc manila. You can search ramtins in sulit. Thanks.

[stormy]

^i agree sis lahat naman ng suppliers may risk I took a risk din kay gel ng swell sweets nun una ko nagpagawa sa kanya nun year 2007 (pero yun event is 2008). D rin sya kilala dito at ang mura din nya dati kumpara sa iba. Kaya baka tama yun sabi ng ibang sis na kasi nagsisimula pa kaya mura pa don't worry maganda yang cake ng anak mo at sana masarap

[greize]

sis kermy, yung sheryberry sweets, kaka-1 year palang ngayong march. nagstart ako magorder sa kanya, sept of last year lang pero isa naman ako sa satisfied clients nya. 6'' fondant round cake for P800 only. may edible topper pa yun. kahit half a year pa lang siya sa business noon, naimpress nya ako with her design sa jesse cake ni baby. so kahit newbie, pwede pa rin makapagcreate ng magandang output. 
good luck sa preps!

Any feedback on Sugar Frost?

[cldy_1981]

Has anyone tried Aikko of Bake Happy? Any feedback please?

When trying out newbie bakers, siguro it would be best to go for more simple designs and avoid those that are difficult to make. Tignan mo yung portfolio nya. More or less mage-gauge mo kung saan sya ok.

I've seen pix of cakes by some bakers na super ok sa mga flowers, bears, etc.. Mapapa wow ka talaga... Pero pag dating sa hello kitty, mickey mouse, etc eh mukhang frankenstein. But in fairness to these bakers, mahirap naman talaga kasi yung mga characters na yun.

[robinemz]

madali nga talga gawin yung flowers and simple design as compared to mga character themed cakes. if character themed ang cake i would rather splurge a little on the cake than take the risk [textspeak!] highlight ang bday cake ng baby natin sa party. lagi yang may solo picture, picture with celebrant and w/ family pag candle blowing kaya we have to make it a point na kaya ma-execute nung baker yung design ng cake na gusto natin:)

[twelve5]

^ exactly, sis. Parating may photo op with the cake. Hehe

[Grayce]

^^agree. kaya nung una ko nakita yung cake na pinagawa ko kay gel colet nung una medyo nadisappoint ako kasi d nasunod yung gusto kong design, i mean similar pero d kopyang kopya. but maganda naman in fairness and we got lots of compliments from it next time na papagawa ako ng cake ill be very specific nalang siguro.

^sa moulding skills madalas nagkakatalo aside from the taste. sabi ng friend ko na may baking business medyo talent nga daw talaga ang mag mould lalo na pag characters

hahahaha! naalala ko yung mga cake na ganyan, tawa kami ng tawa pag nagmumukhang ewan yung mga characters. madalas tabingi yung mga mukha or parts ng mukha, masabi lang na cartoon character ayos na pero i agree, pag hindi pa kayo sigurado sa baker, busisiin ang portfolio at yung basic/generic designs na lang ang ipagawa.
