Sugarcraft on Fresh Cream





Hi everyone

I just came back yesterday after a weeks travel.. My trip to Jaipur was excellent..Though the purpose of my travel was my workshop there but being in your home town has its own charm and magic. I got a very warm welcome there and the workshop went on smoothly.
I got to meet a whole set of new people who were very enthusiatic and fun loving.


This is one of the quickest cakes that I have made so far. Its a pineapple sponge cake which is decorated with fresh cream and a fondant doll sits on it.
Choosing fresh cream as icing was obvious as fresh cream goes very well with pineapple sponge.
The fondant doll was heavy and thus the hands have got slightly smudged with the cream .. So it wasn't the best option!!
But the cake tasted good it was a nice experience to experiment with fresh cream.

I will catch up with all your wonderful posts very soon.. Thanks for understanding.

Happy Friendship Day!!!

    Sooo cute Swathi, totally loved it! Fresh cream does go great with sponge cake.

    Btw, wanted to ask you this, where in India do you buy ready to use Fondant. I will be making a trip to India in Sept and want to buy Fondant there, I thought you would know. Appreciate any info on this, thanks! :)

    you know, 'normal' human beings like to catch up on sleep or jump start their usual routines when they come back....but you are not normal, are you :P Seriously, you have some amazing talent :) and I really wanted to ask, how come the girl doesnt collapse under her weight or something? I am simply amazed and bemused by that!

    The quickest?
    I couldn't believe. This cake looks amazing!!!
    I'd like to see this cake ...inside, when is cut... must be so yummy as you said.
    Maybe some day you put the recipe
    for this cake?

    Thank you so much for this yummy, artistic beauty!

    Just a note to the anonymous who wrote on August 7, 2008 2:39 PM, The best way to say something is by showing yourself, everybody here has a name. it is not polite to hide behind an "anonymous" to say a statement just like the one you did. All the people who post here are truly admires of Swati's work of art.
