My first 3d print!

Marty M.Y Hon — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:19:44 +0000

To make our wedding cake more unique, I have created this model based off our Chinese zodiac animals – Dragon and Mouse on top of a pile of our treasures. I sent to print in polyamide by i.materialise.
Here is a photo of the caketopper –

And of course, it’s not a good caketopper if it’s not on top of a delicious cake~!

It’s been a long while since I last used pastel, it’s getting really rusty!
Maybe I can get back to that again soon….

Animal Sketches and Studies

Drawing from photos may not be the best way to learn animals anatomy, but I just gotten the book The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals, and gave me the itch to do some quick sketches of animals.

Spent a few days at Paris 2 weeks ago and done a few drawings at the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay

Victory de Samothrace has always been my fine art holy grail, it was sooo exciting and touching to see it in person!

Edible Art for X’mas 2010

Because I’ve a sweet tooth, yet I can only eat so much of it, I become really picky on sweets. Especially when I’m making them, other than taste wonderful, they also need to look pretty like an art piece.
I make Chocolate Truffles as X’mas gifts for friends and family each year and also, here is the first Yule Log cake I’ve made~!

Wedding cake

Marty M.Y Hon — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 15:48:19 +0000

A type of art that I do occasionally and edible is baking and decorating cakes.
But this is the first time I did a wedding cake, requested by one of my very good friend!

A chocolate rum cake, dark and white grand mariner chocolate mousse fillings, decorated with whipped cream.
Going along with the movie theme that the couple has used for their wedding, I’ve created the red carpet for them.
I was so relieved when the cake did not melt and collapse after on display for 3 hours!
