Two weddings

First time in history, my history that is, I was to make two wedding cakes in a week. For the first wedding, the customer had already booked a month in advance, therefore I was well prepared, physically and mentally. The second was a last minute request from my bff, due to her cake maker bailed out one week before the wedding. So here comes me to the rescue! It was very challenging as her wedding location is 2 to 3 hours drive from my place. We never thought that we would be transporting her wedding cake, so it was all panicky for a bit. Alas, in the end everything went pretty smoothly. I'm really happy for her dreams had come true. And praying for her, a blessed life and a smooth journey ahead, Aminn. By the way, don't forget to check out my facebook page Dalyna's Deli! Let's take a look at the cakes shall we?

Somewhere over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true.

I have a confession to make, it might sound cliché, but this song from the Wizard of Oz always plays in my mind every time I'm making a rainbow cake.  And also the lines from the song What a Wonderful World sung by Louis Armstrong.

The colors of a rainbow so pretty in the sky 

Are also on the faces of people going by 

I see friends shaking hands 

sayin’ how do you do 

They're really sayin’ i love you.

The colours of the rainbow are always associated with the good things in life; remember how excited you always felt when you see a rainbow.

There’s even a saying, there’s a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. And a legend that cites at the end of every rainbow sits a leprechaun, hammering on a shoe, who will reveal the whereabouts of a crock of gold. 

Rainbow Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

That’s how I felt every time I make a rainbow cake, I just love making them even though it may seem so tedious to do 6 layers of cakes with different colours. 

My very first Rainbow Cake!

As usual, I leave you to enjoy the rest of the Rainbow cakes pics. See ya!

Made with lotsa love!

Boboi Boy Rainbow Cake! Terbaekk!!

The Story of Red Velvet Cake

My best buddy cum housemate does not like cake very much.  Once I offered her a lovely and tantalizing red velvet cupcake, she totally said no thank you! Who in the right mind would reject a cupcake, a red velvet cupcake at that! That was way before she had a taste of red velvet, which happened when her colleague brought the cake to the office and insisted on giving her a piece. And the rest is history. She is now a red velvet freak! She could finish a whole 500 g of red velvet cake on her own, I tell you. (Might be a bit of an exaggeration but it is very possible!).

So the story that I’m about the share with all of you is not about my best buddy cum housemate but about the absolutely magical cake called the red velvet. The red velvet as everyone knows now, is a red velvety rich chocolate cake topped with cream cheese frosting. But little does everyone know the history of red velvet, the origins of red velvet. I am actually a cake freak therefore I constantly Google and read about cakes.

The red velvet cake is actually a chocolate cake but the reaction between buttermilk and vinegar causes the cake to turn a pale red, revealing the red Anthocyanin in the cocoa. But these days, we have the luxury of food colouring to enhance the colour of red velvet cake. For those who wondered, what in the world is Anthocyanin?? That was my first reaction by the way when I read about it..ha ha. Well, (spoken in professor-like manner) Anthocyanin are the pigments which are responsible for the red, purple and blue colours of most fruits, vegetables, cereal grains and flowers. I'm actually not as clever as the professor who researched about Anthocyanin, I got all this info from a dear friend Mr Google. 

Without further ado, as the saying goes a picture paints a thousand words. So here are a thousand words for you, maybe more as I have few pictures of the red velvet cakes that I have made in the past. Not all though, just the highlights. Enjoy!
