A week ago, Shara messaged me for two cake orders. When she said she wanted this theme on one of them, I couldn't say yes right away. Not because I don't want to do the order but the fact remains the same that "I cannot do hand-molded figures" still. I know this is something I should work on if I really want to be good at fondant decorating. Like some techniques I never knew before but now I can actually do is all part of the learning process I came to embrace. And it makes me so eager to learn a thing or two from every project given to me. Perhaps this is the right time to take the challenge.
The night before, I started looking the web for sample photos as guide. None of them looked simple to me but I had to try my very best to make the chipmunks look close enough to the originals. I keep saying to myself that I can't afford to disappoint Shara and most of all, the baby named Sidarth who was turning one year old. It sure will be a very memorable event and I was praying that the cake won't spoil the fun.
In more than three hours, I have finally completed all three chipmunks. Yay! Can't believe I was able to finish them without freaking out. Yes it was difficult but one thing I'm sure of, all the hard work paid off when I saw the finished result. Feel free to comment. I am more than willing to improve on this new learning.

Thank God I did it. Looking back, it all started with a simple attempt, passion and my love for this craft. Now I feel very blessed that this has come a long way. The dream that I used to dream is slowly coming true.
