Carrot Cupcake - Lyana





Carrot Cupcake order dari Lyana, Bandari Sri Permaisuri. Kebetulan order sama dengan carrot cake Kak Fiza, so buat adunan sekaligus cuma yang ni dalam version cupcake. Lyana request 16 cupcake carrot dengan cream cheese topping dan deco dengan carrot. Alhamdulillah, feedback dari Lyana dan Kak Fiza, mereka puas ati dengan kek tu. Thanks :)

Carrot Cake - Kak Fiza 2



Carrot Cake (1kg)

Repeat order carrot cake dari Kak Fiza (opismet). Masa 1st order dulu kak fiza tempah untuk open house hari raya, tapi disebabkan ramai yang datang, tuan rumah sendiri x dapat rasa carrot cake tu..cian dia. Untuk deco kek kali ni, saya buat macam deco sebelum ni, cuma untuk daun carrot tu just guna buttercream.

Miniature Cake - Rohani





Rohani juga order Miniature Cake - Fondant (4 pcs). Theme untuk mini cake ni sama dengan Kek Fondant yang Rohani order, bezanya cuma Rohani request ada riben kat mini cake ni. Buat 2 set kek untuk Rohani ni the whole night, lepas siap kek dapat tidur 1 jam jer, then terus pergi keje. Penin lalat juga masa kat office hari tu. Anyway, harap kek ni selamat sampai ke Penang bersama tuannya :). Thanks to Rohani.

Hantaran Cake - Rohani




Kek Hantaran Fondant (coklat flavor) tempahan dari Rohani. Dengan theme kaler putih + hijau, Rohani request kek tanpa bunga, hanya daun-daun saja. Masa bakar dan bila kek sejuk, elok naik tinggi. Tapi lepas balut dengan fondant, pelik je sebab kek nampak pendek, mungkin fondant tu saya terbuat tebal sangat dan berat. To Rohani, maaf banyak-banyak sebab kek tu ketinggiannya x mencukupi.

Character Design with Adobe Illustrator

A comperhensive character design tutorial from our favorite digital illustration tutorial source Computer Arts Magazine.
"Illustrator James Jarvis explains how he designed his new vinyl toy, and then turned him into a Computer Arts Projects cover star.
In the following tutorial I reveal all about the processes I go through when developing a character, from initial idea to finished product – a vinyl figure and an illustration.
I started to design toys completely by accident; it was never a planned career move. In 1998 the opportunity arose to make a figure based on one of my characters as a promotional item for a fashion company, Silas. The toy proved popular so we made another a year later, and everything snowballed from there. " Full tutorial and source files

Adobe Illustrator CS34

Adobe Illustrator CS4 review by Ben Long, Macworld.

"If you're someone who started out with Adobe Illustrator back when it was called Illustrator 88, then you've seen lots of changes over 20 years. Illustrator is one of a handful of powerful vector drawing products aimed at graphic artists and illustrators, and it's always been elegant and production-ready. Even if Adobe has sometimes been slow to add cool new features, you could always count on Illustrator's stability and its color and output engines to perform well in a professional production environment.

Illustrator, as a high-end professional app, doesn't really have any competition on the Mac anymore (CorelDraw is Windows-only), which might explain why Adobe is only now getting around to adding some features that the program has needed for years. If you're a Mac user who needs a vector-based drawing tool, Illustrator is the biggest and best player around, and the new CS4 version is a solid, impressive upgrade that adds some cool new tools" Full review
