Nov 2009 Twilight Special

Alice Cullen cake

After seeing this cake, my daughter screamed and said " it's unfair..! someone else gets to order this cake first (with pouting mouth hehe)". I guess Ashley Greene has some appeal to young children. I will have to make Alice Cullen cake again next month for her birthday. Hopefully I can find different picture than this one. (Dec 21, 3.04am)

New Moon cake

Not only movies have sequels, my cakes too...! I knew it, after my Twilight, sure there'd be demand for New Moon, isn't it cool peeps!!

I saw New Moon, When Edward popped the question in the final scene, I unconsciously replied, "yeah..marry me too!!". How embarassing, the whole cinema could hear my whispering voice (giggle in my heart).

I like the whole story in the movie, the usual 'beginning', 'developing' and 'climax' are good, only the 'ending' is a bit of a problem for me. I know New Moon is not supposed to be about 'Edward and Bella' but 'Bella and Jacob'. But isn't the Twilight saga all about the love story between the vampire and the human beauty?

For me, I was hoping to see a more soothing ending with Edward and Bella walking hand in hand or cuddling in the meadow or piggy-backing thru the forest or anything to comfort me that the whole point is about these two people.

And another thing is, the ending is like an episode of a soap opera, something like, "oh yeah, dont worry folks, we'll see what happens next tomorrow or the next week". Worse when it's like Lt.Horatio Caine at the end of a scene. Those who watch CSI Miami or used to watch will know what I mean ;-D.

It's not like we'll see what's next in a couple of months, this is one year we are talking about, if I were to be 39 years of age, It'd be a major event reaching 40, and that's how long one year is, like a decade difference (ok, I'm a little carried away already).

Anyhow, I love the movie, lighting not so kind to Edward this time tho, he looks less cute, maybe the camera only focuses on how good the biceps look on Jacob Black, hehehe...hubby hon! your biceps look hawt too!!

Twilight cake

This is choc cake with choc ganache. The weight is close to 1.3kilo. With a bit of decoration, I take rm60 for this cake, the edible image is separate. All special edible image will have an extra charge of rm25, so this cake is 60+25= rm85.

I was so waiting for somebody to order Twilight cake and yesss, finally I got it. A simple chocolate cake with Twilight edible image on top. I'm actually a Twilighter (not die-hard fan tho). I finished reading all the 4 books in 2 weeks. It was very irresponsible of me to be lost in the world of a teenager but to those who know me, I never really grew up, so a big part of me is still stuck in "never never land".

So here's what i think:

After finishing the entire saga, I think there's absolutely no reason to stay human.

1) Human dont get to live forever. NASA's sensing satelite discovered that there's water on the moon.This also means that one day scientists might be able to "live off the land". The mission will continue from moon to Mars. Isn't it a shame if we do not get to live to see what's going on next, whether humans would eventually find their way out of this galaxy? Ok, back to Twilight saga. Vampires live forever, I'd offer myself to be one so I'd have that chance to ride on a space ship and off to Mars!!

2) Vampires are one-woman men and vice versa. U see.. human beings mostly are not loyal/faithful or however else u want to call it. My husband is not one of them of course ;-). If u know James' character in the movie, he was ripped apart and burnt to pieces. In the sequels, Victoria (his partner - in an animal world she would be mate) would never stop hunting Bella since Bella is seen as the reason for her loss. Rosalie and Emmet are like one thing, so are Alice and Jasper. Good or bad, bloodsuckers are the best life partner you'll ever have (if only they really existed).

3) Vampires are superheroes with superpowers. Wouldn't this world be a better place if there's more of this species than the weaker ones? Imagine all the impossible things like a vampire becoming a marine biologist. He wouldn't need an oxygen tank to go a 1000 feet deep into the sea. She could walk on the moon breathless. Their venoms could do wonders, even the terminally ill could be cured. Let alone the speed when they move, it'd come in handy when it comes to combating crime.

4) All Vampires are angelic with a certain glow. When u become a vampire, your skin changes, u are more shiny and you'll look fairer. It would be perfect for those longing to look better than they do now.

Well, these are a few of the many reasons why becoming a vampire is advantageous. I personally think the author Stephenie Meyer has a bit of a little girl in her, creating this perfect world for every girl's dream, to have somebody to love you unconditionally, and to have 2 superpowers to protect you every step of the way. It's the most fairy tale of fairy tales I've ever come across. And I thank Stephenie Meyer for this beautiful piece she created. Who wouldn't dream of a perfect world.....:-)
