A square chocolate cake built as a mosque, with a ribbed dome, four tall minarets and a ring of dark red chocolate roses, the couple’s names engraved on a plaque at the front

The mosque, with their names on it

Four minarets, stood up one at a time and only joined once the cake was where it was going to stay. Their two names are on the plaque at the front.
A chocolate-covered birthday cake topped with chocolate roses, bronze leaves, truffles and fresh strawberries, with a chocolate heart plaque reading Happy Birthday Mummy

Happy Birthday Mummy

Her children asked for roses and her name on a heart. The roses are chocolate, the leaves are chocolate, and the gold on them is edible.
Rows of square chocolate plaques, each moulded with a car maker’s logo and tagline pressed into the surface, painted bronze

The logo, pressed in

The logo was cut as a mould, so the mark is in the chocolate itself and not on a sticker. A dealership handed these out across a launch weekend.

Watch them come alive

The portrait figurine

A 40 cm sculpted pair, outfits painted from the engagement shoot

The couple on the cake table

The cut

Everyone at that table was sure it was ceramic. Then the knife went in.

Merisik · Meminang · Bertunang

Nothing begins until the tepak sireh is accepted.

It is handed over before anyone says why they came, which is why it is called the kepala adat, the head of the custom. Here is what is inside one and what the carving on its walls is saying.
