		<title>Cake for Cake Central Magazine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last January, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Jackie Shaffer of Cake Central Magazine. She wanted me to create a cake for their fabulous March Issue. The inspiration? A beautiful and colorful floral dress.

I know, I know. I told you this will be my last cake with buds and birds. I did this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet country birthday cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of you probably know that birthday cakes are my weakness. I always have a hard time executing a birthday cake without making it look like a wedding cake. I guess I failed this time again, hehe.
 
This cake is inspired by my other competition cake that didn&#8217;t make the trip back home (it broke into pieces). I wanted to make a [...]]]></description>

		<title>San Diego Cake Competition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got back home from the San Diego Cake Competition last night. Not only that it was stressful, it was also fun. Gosh, I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s over&#8211;I won Best of Show! Here is my main entry.

I had to travel this cake stacked for 5 hours. Yes, it was nerve-wracking and super cold (we had [...]]]></description>

		<title>My unique Thanksgiving cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Belated Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I&#8217;ve been busy for the past few days but I am now back. Back with a cake that is.
I&#8217;m not sure what to call this cake. Country Elegance? Organic Sophistication? Hmmm, how about Woodsy Wonderland? Would Modern Rustic work? Ahhhh, whatever it is, I am definitely inlove.

It&#8217;s actually our Thanksgiving cake&#8211;odd right? I really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stevie Famulari Interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
If you are a Food Network Challenge junkie like me, I&#8217;m sure you would know who Stevie Famulari is. She has competed in four challenges, the Kerry Vincent Mystery Challenge being the biggest hit when her cake had to be put down with a fire extinguisher. Her creativity and imagination has definitely brought her a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ganache instead of buttercream?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 

Many people ask me how I get sharp edges on my fondant cakes. Other than sharing my smoothing techniques, I also tell them that I use ganache under fondant. Although you can perfectly achieve sharp edges using buttercream under fondant, I find that it is easier to use ganache to achieve that perfect sharp look. Note: The picture [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black and white birthday cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I think of birthday cakes, I envision the highlight of a wedding extravaganza. No, I am not referring to the dress; I am talking about the centerpiece of the reception, the cake. I have been such a fan of wedding cakes, I actually use it as an inspiration for all my cakes.  Whether it is a [...]]]></description>
