Finally, the first Vietnamese Áo Dài Cake comes to live! This cake is made for my mother's 62nd birthday, in inspiration of my heritage background with the combination of the Vietnamese traditional dress called "Áo Dài" and the Vietnamese New Year called "Tết." I love how this cake turns out and am extremely excited to be sharing this tutorial with you today.
Why a dress cake? You ask. Honestly, I make this cake because as far as I know, no one has done it! I have seen a number of cakes modeling Chinese and Japanese dresses, but I have yet to see a Vietnamese dress cake. And that's when I decided Áo Dài is my next cake "challenge." Maybe I am biased (of course!), but to me this beautiful, elegant dress brings out the best appearance in a Vietnamese woman. It seems like no matter how chunky or skinny one is, Áo Dài turns every single woman in to a true goddess. At least, it made me feel that way the last time I worn it on my wedding date.

This post is dedicated in loving memory of my grandfather. The last few days have been emotional for my family due to the loss of my grandpa, my Dad's father. Everyone in the family is sad but we also know that this is probably best for grandpa, who passed away at the age of 89 due to old age. I did not know my grandfather very well, and the last time I saw him in real life was dated back in March of 2010. Although my encounters with him were limited, but those few vivid memories were always involved grandpa smiling, spoken in a gentle tone using primarily kind words. My Dad's description of grandfather as "a loving and caring father." I can see that as these are unquestionably qualities my father had inherited.
