I was ECSTATIC to hear from one of my favourite restaurants - Din Tai Fung. It was for creating a 1 year anniversary cake for their restaurant in the city of London.
It's the year of the fire horse. The year that's expected to bring fast change, on a personal and global scale. And I AM READY FOR THAT! I think absolutely everyone is gagging for change.
So creating a cake themed around the year of the fire horse AND one of my favourite foods - dim sum? Yup, I'm all over that.
The clients were super chilled about the brief. All they specified was that it needed to include a 3D figure of their mascot, the Bao Bao Man on a horse, and for it to be a red velvet sponge within a set budget. They sent us the event flyer and that's what we ran with.
The hand-modelled sculpted horse and Bao man from sugar paste was the highlight. I didn't want to add any extra details to take away the focus from it but the cake needed to SCREAM fire horse. The red, orange and yellow Swiss meringue buttercream on the cake does just that.
It was great to hear them absolutely loving how the cake turned out.
