yet another ’slumber party’ for us, getting our orders done for the weekend. we’re relishing the challenges thrown at us, especially with big orders like the one our little elf-in-training’s holding here.

Rai with Whims & Fancies' Strawberry Dream Fairycake

what we mean by ‘challenge’ is, each cake is like a game of of problem-solving for us. like piecing together a huge puzzle or building up lego blocks, but with more ‘complicated’ materials – towels, blankets, ribbons… every item is obsessively put together by two, well, obsessive people. and it’s great having a partner, who not only offers a finger to tie knots, but also to take over when one is stuck with a particularly uncooperative bow or a difficult nip/tuck manouevre. and somehow, the problem’s always solved, in a way that we’re both happy with. as they say, two heads are better than one, and well, four hands are apparently more useful than two too. :)

anyway, our ’slumber party’ was made even more lively this time with our elf-in-training. oh, and she’s offering our ‘trade secrets’ for a sum of money, by the way, ha ha.

and here’s two more flavourful ‘confections’ to add to the list:

Mango Coral Cheesecake Dolly Lollipop Cake
Mango Coral Cheesecake, Dolly Lollipop Cake

heh, we couldn’t help it with the Dolly the Sheep thing. it also brought about a (bimbotic) discussion on the difference between sheep and lamb. and how we almost ‘gay-ified’ the sheep with a butterfly on its head, then realise it’s beyond ‘gay-ified’ on account of its fleece being pink.

and yes, this is the kind of inane talk that fills up our many hours of working together and, err, ’stirs’ up our creative juices. :p

one of the results of that, our creme de la creme… (so far!)

i realise it’s been some time since i’ve veged out on the couch and watched, really watched, tv, so i think i should reclaim some couch time tomorrow while the two fellas in da house go for that airshow everyone’s talking about (even aniq, who exclaims “eh-pen!” every few minutes a plane roared in the sky outside our balcony today). me time, finally! :)
