Welcome to the Samimi\'s Mansion

Yesterday, we were invited to a potluck party hosted by the Samimi Family. My good friend, Mae, requested that I bring a cake/cupcakes..chocolate is great, she said.  Of course, I said...YES! Just because...

I decided to make one of my favorite designer's design, the Bathtub cake design.
I challenged myself by making more than three dozen duckies.  I made all the duckies in one sitting about 2 hours...not bad I fnd.

All in all, this project was one of  the easiests I have done so far, no stress.
I said easiest because, I did not worry about tear and cracks on the fondant because of the tree stump design.
 The assembly was very fast. 

The cupcakes were decorated for less than an hour. I piped blue and white Italian Swiss Meringue Buttercream, placed a duck and sprinkled big sugar pearls. The cake is a four layer chocolate cake, very moist and dense, filled with cream cheese filling and crumbcoated with Italian Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

As always, I really had so much fun making this cake.

Getting a very nice comment from my friend the hostess, Imelda:
"Luisa, thank you so very much for the cake...it is awesome...I don't want to cut it yet...too beautiful to eat...", is worth all the effort!!!  

Have a great March break week everyone!!!
