i was alone at Joyce's home. her sisters were not in. Joyce need to go and bring her in-laws around.
i took the fondant icing out of the fridge.
i knead. i put icing sugar. i rolled. i lift it up. it stuck on the table.
i knead again. i put more icing sugar. i lift it up. it stuck on the table again.
again. i knead. put more icing sugar. i lift it up, and again, it stuck.
i almost gave up. then, auntie (joyce's mom) came back to prepare the food. i tried again.
still, the fondant stuck on the table. and the fondant dried up because too much icing sugar. i took out some fondant from the fridge and mix it with the dry one. it was better. then, uncle (joyce's dad) came back to help auntie. i tried again.
from 3:00pm till 4.30pm, finally i managed to cover the base but it's quite messy. at last i got the trick. i knead on the grease proof paper, lift it up EASILY and put on top of the cake. Grr..why cant i think of that earlier? what was i thinking? i wasted lots of precious time. anyway, i was glad i did it. hehehe..and i covered the 2nd tier also. Joyce did for the 1st tier fruit cake.
by the time i should start with the decoration, i am exhausted and postponing it to after-dinner. i hope June/ Kim could help me later. i'm getting old and i got tired easily.. ;p

*update*
now is 11.49pm. i just came back from Joyce's house. went there for dinner, and then continue with decorating the cake. Joyce did the fondant icing for the 1st tier cake, but she did not put enough icing sugar on it. the fondant icing become sticky when leave it out in room temperature. so, i have to re-do. and i realized the last one was the most tiring one. my hands are shaking now, while typing this out. and my eyes are very tired!
Kim did helped me out to put the hearts around the 2nd tier of the cake. June pula volunteered her room to let me sleep with her, so that i dont need to drive back, because i am very tired. Auntie said it is such a privilege for me because she never ever let anyone sleep with her..haha. So cute..
Whoa~, at last..I DID IT! *relieved* i'm going to show you the picture tomorrow. i wanted to snap some pictures just now, but my camera is out of battery and i malu want to snap with my camera phone. also, the quality is not as good. so, tomorrow, i will take as much as i can, for it is my hasil kerja. hehe. (^,^)v
