special 2-tier birthday messages cup-a-cake

shortly after receiving elaine's call, ying called to order a 2-tier cup-a-cake for her boyfriend. same day of pick up with elaine. 2 in a day! Now, this is a new challenge for me.... she wants to do it for him together with her friends. she's keen on the messages idea. so I thought it'd be quite nice if for this cup-a-cake, we have lots and lots of messages on the cup-a-cakes to keep the birthday boy busy! :) ying wanted chocolate chip, some hershey's kisses and no other preferences! hmmm...

so, i started with the basics. I chose gold, silver & black to maintain a boy-ish feel... made the choc chip base and tried arranging them first before i start with the topping

then i added the hershey's kisses choc - milk & choc chip flavors! yumm! also added some dagarees & sugar hearts...

added on a long special candle signifying longevity...

and added on the messages! with a colourful mixture of bright colours coz those are the colours ying said her boyfriend will like.

hmm... i just realized i do not know what the birthday boy's name is! except for "leng zai" & "ah-boy"!

And finally - the 2-tier birthday messages cup-a-cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY leng zai!

note: i received a text late last night from ying. apparently the cake got damaged while travelling from gurney - queensbay. the icing smeared on the messages! My worst fears! I feel so responsible for it... :(

ying, will make it up to YOU & ur friends....!
