IPEX Edible Architecture Competition 2009

Here's the update for the recent competition I've join, the IPEX Edible Architecture Competition. It was held at Sabah Trade Centre, Likas on the 14th March. Our group, which consist of Samantha, Jane, Eileen and of course moi decided to make The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. So we've been doing this 5 days or sort before the competition or you can say....finished it within only 5 days *sigh* The same quote, too much things for too lil' time. Guess I'll just shut my mouth (not literally :P) and present to ya'll the pictures ey? So.....PICTURES TIME! XD

Used almost 20 packets of Tiger Biscuits

We had to use books to tahan the biscuits cos' they were about to collapse due to unstable matters. hahaha. Well, the biscuits masuk angin bah.

Painted the brocolli red using the colouring for decorations

Aunty Jennifer rocks! (Eileen's mom) Very supportive mom. She stayed up late with us.

Nicole & moi played with the dough to make it like a huge cupcake. Isn't it cute? Ngehehe just to kill the sleepyness :D You need something fun when staying up that late okay?

Overall, it was fun & exhausting and this is once in lifetime experience you can have. Builing up a structure out of ONLY food. Woooh it was hard. I want that damn certificate! :( Just like what Eileen said, eventhough we didn't win but the konwledges and experiences gained matters most :) I wanna thank Sam, Jane & Eileen for making up The Builder and all parents' support throughout the whole process till the competition :DDD I had the greatest time working with them. Love ya'll loads:)
