A week ago on a friday morning... knowing how Father's Day was reaching, Lilsis and i decided to do something for our Dad..... Just days back i had ask him what he would want for that special day and he told me that he knew i am jobless and probably cannot afford much
.
.
.
.
.
.
thus.............. " 2 roti prata kosong with curry will do............"

.
.
.
my Dad is adorable so instead of prata i thought i would get my hands on some baking material *kinda grew addicted to them from watching too much baking tutorial on Youtube....
.
.
.
Lilsis and i bought the ready cake mix (just add egg, oil and stir) so we got the cake baking... and in order for our Dad to know immediately the cake was bake by us... we threw in something special and make our cake.............the rainbow cake!

anyway........... while the cake was baking in the oven... i got round to making the icing while Lilsis practice on her writing = it was her task to write the words on the cake....
.
.
.
.

we had some tools from Daiso but basically they were of no use...we ended up using the traditional (but useful) plastic bag piping method for the font....

45 mins later... the cake came out of the oven looking like this... tad disappointed at the bursting top but the cake tasted really good.. so i cut off the top layer (which was also the initial idea since we would need a flat layer to work on the font and coating the cake)

ta-dah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look what happens when the cake is cut open.... nice!!!! (you might think it looks disgusting but check out the later picture =)

as you can probably tell.. at that point of time i had just finished my one-star kayaking course and was recovering from my burnt... thus the very very red body.. which is the REAL amount of damage done to my poor skin...

.
.
.

.
.
here's me icing the cake... the icing had gotten too thick thus coating the cake becomes a tough job... note to self ** beat lower speed and add some water on my next attempt

saw my watch tann on my wrist... i actually like it.. i find it cute haha..

entrust the task of icing the cake to Kristi ( i am wearing a singlet bearing her name if you dint realise.. )

cake officially coated with a layer of thick icing (that eventually turns crispy God knows why) and Lilsis plastic bag of blue icing to write the wording on top of the cake...
.
.
.
.
She proceeded with the writing while i work on making my Fondant (a Mashmellow tasting dough that alot of baker use to shape and mould figuring on their cake... )
.
.
.
.
making the Fondant was effing hard but eventually it turns out pretty good (Mum says it tasted too sweet but i actually like the taste alot)
..
.
.
.
i pasted my attempt of Fondant on the cake.. i made a PIGHEAD.. a HEART.. and a RIBBON

nice??? heehee... after which i went to kakak (our domestic helper) and made a silly joke claiming the cake now contains pork... to which she laugh pretty awkwardly.. and i felt stupid to even mention it in the first place... hahaha
.
.
.
.
.
we store the cake in the refrigerator awaiting Sunday- Father's Day!
.
.

.
.
*fast forward to Sunday- Father's Day!
. Mum made reservation for our family to enjoy dinner at a Vietnam restaurant located pretty city plaza.... no pictures taken cos i didnt really like the place..
.
after dinner we went to fetch broGary (who couldnt make it as he had work to do) from work and off we head home to cut the cake ...
.
.
.
.
previously on Friday night.. dad had saw the cake and without thinking ask "Whose birthday's coming up? FUNNY MAX!!!!"

we took out the cake and i told Dad i made the pig for him cos he looks like it.. here's a picture of the piggy i made...

funniest picture of Dad... after we laugh at his toothless gap along his front teeth.. (which was unfortunately knocked off by a co-worker in a silly work accident)

Him denying he had lost any teeth.. haha..

Dad made a quick wish as though it was his birthday

while cuttin the cake.. Lilsis ask him if he could guess the flavor of the cake we had made.. at first he saw the colour BLUE from the bits of cake of the knife he had use.. and he said "blueberry"
.
.
.
.

.
den he saw pink... and green.... and orange... and he got confuse
.
