Cookie Competition

Recently, I participated in a festive cookie competition via Malaysia Cake Decorator's Club. As most of you would know.. I've never done much decorative cookies. Actually, i have never done any! But i love the challenge... Took me half a day to bake some cookies and about 2 days to think of an idea and to create it! :P

One can submit a maximum of 3 cookies but i made 6! This is because i din like the first 3 i made and i continued to toy ard with other ideas... Finally, i chose to submit this 3 (with the help of my dear friends, brother & hubs who helped me choose...)

This is a valentine's day theme cookie... I wasn't completely happy with this one... I meant to make it somewhat different... or maybe it's just because i'm bored of teddies already? :P

The 2nd one is a Happy Teacher's Day theme! This was the only one i'm happy with :P I wanted the cookies to come out.. like more 3d type of design... and this is quite close to what i had in mind :)

And last but not least, a wedding cookie! I always like simple designs for wedding cakes.. so i made this design.. and the V&W is to represent me & hubs! :)

And guess what??? I bagged all the top 3 prizes!!! Reliable teddy won the 1st place while teacher's day took the 2nd placing and wedding cookie won 3rd placing :)

I'm very surprise but at the same time very happy! :) Thanks to all who took the time to vote!

My 1st Competition :)

Recently, I participated in a competition. My very first competition. I did not have much time to prepare for it because I was leaving for Australia. But motivated by the fact that I have always wanted to give mini wedding cakes a try... I did it, submitted and had very limited internet connection after that. I only had internet connection few days before the voting ends and was very surprised I was amongst the few who are in the lead! Hehehe... Overall it was a great experience! 

We are allowed to submit 2 entries per person. Here are mine :) 

Entry No. 1: Mr & Mrs

One of the challenge was for us to do a 'pair' mini cake... And this is my version of a 'pair'! This piece won 2nd Place! Yeah!

Entry No 2: The Reality of Marriage

This is kinda inspired by the fact that I was about to celebrate my 4 years wedding anniversary and seriously, to me, there's 2 inter-related sides to a marriage. In order to grow the relationship, both have gotta be ready to struggle and overcome all obstacles together. It's not all love and fairytale. By being able to overcome those obstacles together... your love will then continue to grow! And this, is a lifetime commitment. 

But that's what makes a marriage exciting, right? hehehe

This piece won 4th Placing! I was very happy both my submissions won :) Thanks to all who voted!
