Que sera, sera – Career : Patisser (WIP04)

I have a lot of problem with this career to be honest, I want to cry. But I already kind of gotten the stuff for it already so I might as well see it through right? I was debating on whether if I want to do this in real life or a photo montage of it. Then when I consulted Mimi, she told me that I could probably just try doing it out in real life. After all this assignment is about trying out different medium?

But then me being me got pretty lazy with having to gather up the materials or sweets that I am required to design my name. Then I tried to test photo manipulate my name. Truth to be told I was struggling so hard with the lighting. Like all the cakes and sweets just have different lighting on them. I also tried to use the utensils for baking and all. Of course it did not work out :’^)

Oh how terrible it looks… My eyes hurts. I told myself that I need to stop being a lazy bum and go out to hunt for the materials instead. Then I was looking at my design thinking about the possible cakes that I could get or how I could execute them. Then I told myself that I should probably have an open mind in case I really cannot find the specific cake that I want.

So…… i really could not find the cake I wanted. Rather I found it but it was too big of a pocket burn for me, I cry. So I ended up having to change a little of my design according to the cake that I got instead. Also for the piping bag, I actually found those already made ones inside a pack. I might photo edit the piping bag into the more high class looking one considering how the career is a more classier version of the original?

Got all this ingredients and ready to rumble.

As usual the first try was horrible. Since the opening was pretty small the thickness was not enough so I had to go over it twice. Also the piping require equal strength throughout if not the cream would not flow evenly. If i press too hard they start oozing everywhere with in consistent thickness but if I do not apply enough force the line would break off.

Okay so I tried the second time, I would say it looks better? But the overall image seem to look pretty flat since everything is on the same line. Also the letters looks pretty hard to read since I have no experience in calligraphy I am also kind of at a disadvantage,

Argh… After like so many tissue wiping and restarting of the of the icing, I would say that I kind of got the gist of it? Then I tried to lay out the sweets and fruits, played around with the whole composition of the fruits too to give it more pop. Then I realised something… My name somehow looks like it blends into the baking sheet making the sweets pop up instead. NOOOOOOOO!!—

So I went to photoshop hoping to be able to salvage what I have.
