The Woodlands

Od has been a Quintbelles customer multiple times already and it's always a joy when she orders. She usually let us know her budget, her theme and an idea of what she's interested in (birthday cake, cookies, or mini cakes). Her youngest celebrated his first birthday recently and they threw a party in 8 Waves Hotel in Bulacan.

Her theme for this part is the woodlands. We had a couple of ideas for the main cake but what we knew for sure was we're going to make the cake 3D! The problem though is the party is 1.5hrs from Manila and the cake has definitely got to withstand the transport bumps and breaks. We finally decided on a 3D owl! :)


The Cake

Surely an Od party needs more than just a spectacular cake! So we set up a woodlands background from cupcakes. Each cupcake has a two-dimension topper based on Joachim's party decorations.

If you look closer, there are Woodland Mushrooms sprouting all over. My mom said that red and white mushrooms are poisonous but these are totally edible because inside are chocolate kisses with almonds! Covered in red gumpaste and piped with white royal icing. The stems are then made out of gumpaste.


Owls. Squirrels. Trees. Frogs. Turtles. Nuts.


Setup of cupcakes.

To make the set up complete, we made 3 bird houses in 3 different colors!

The cake set up was a hit! Yey!
