<p>Brief history, after a long pre-opening planning finally we started to produce our own gelato and opened the cafe in Seminyak on July 5th, 2008.

<p>As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, we just installed Wifi as well at our cafe in Seminyak after so many requests for the past months, sorry it took us quite a while to finally install it. Well, now you can do your work here while sipping our coffee and of course enjoying our gelato! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gelato! Does everyone know what is it actually? What is the difference with normal ice cream? Hhmmm.. first of all it was originated from Italy. Also, long story short or should I say to make you better and with language that could be understood; gelato is definitely way less fat than ice cream! How does that make you feel girls? You don’t need to feel guilty eating gelato anymore.. =D Most of gelato do not use any cream in it, we certainly don’t.. We use the freshest, finest and the most natural ingredients to make our gelato, all made with passion of course. There are two (2) gelato bases that we use, milk and fruit base. Milk base used for flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, mocha, straciatella (chocolate chips), Malaga (rum raisin) and a lot more. Fruit base used for flavors obviously fruits, such as orange, mango, lemon, raspberry, strawberry and more. Basically yes you can call the fruity ones sorbet or sherbet or to sound more sophisticated “Sorbeto” in Italian.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ixoracakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ixora-cake-5.jpg" alt="ixora cake 5" title="ixora cake 5" width="500" height="334" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-145" /></p>
<p>Doesn’t it look yummy? We have more than 30 flavors and still going..=D Still looking for exotic or at least new interesting flavors. When one of us went to Italy to actually learn how to make gelato, the gelato master actually could make gelato from any flavors that he could find, not necessary always the sweet thins, but can also be savory.. He made gelato of anise, mushrooms, whisky, teas, basically anything you can find! All you have to do is to get the essence then you can make it. Nobody promises it would taste good, of course some flavors would be actually weird or even bad. But you have to keep trying right to be out of the box?! In Europe, they do like the mushroom (porcini) gelato, which we can argue Europeans are more appreciative to food or gourmet than most of us, I actually tried the mushroom gelato, for me it is still a bit weird to be honest.. Still couldn’t grasp the delicacy in a gelato shape. What do you think of other flavors that we should try?</p>
<p>Most of gelato parlor or they call it gelateria in Italy, the display is amazing!! Unlike normal ice cream display, gelato can be very interesting, they are all wavy, colorful (note: no food coloring) with lots of toppings! Below is our display in one of our outlets, what do you think? </p>
<p><img src="http://www.ixoracakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ixora-cake-6.jpg" alt="ixora cake 6" title="ixora cake 6" width="500" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-146" /></p>
<p>The wavy thing actually comes out like that already from the gelato machine, then it just depends on the maker how to make it more interesting.. This is how it comes out first time from the machine.. Actually can be taller as well, depending on your storage freezer.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ixoracakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ixora-cake-7.jpg" alt="ixora cake 7" title="ixora cake 7" width="500" height="334" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-147" /></p>
<p>So, anyway, if you do love sweets especially ice cream, I think you should turn to gelato.. ;p taste better, healthier and of course less fat. Give it a try if you haven’t tried before and keep eating gelato if you already started!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We still couldn’t get how people can order their own wedding cake in such last minute..=) Even only few days before. Oh well, as long they order from us, we are happy to do it of course! However, this weekend has been very hectic since there are a lot of birthdays as well, which is still understandable if it is a last minute thing, since you’re always confused what to get as a present for your friends or families birthday.. right?! =) This weekend is actually the Muslim Ramadhan celebration which means Bali will be so packed with domestic tourists! But because we are in Bali, almost no one orders for Lebaran cakes or parcels. I’m displaying some photos of this weekend’s cakes, tell me what you think.. Everyone was working overtime for the whole Friday, Saturday &amp; Sunday, sometimes we do feel pity because all of the cakes we make, we make with our heart &amp; soul, but then once it got to the event, only lasted for few hours, then it’s gone.. Particularly the decorations, that we make manually with our hands, all just got thrown away.. =( can’t complain though, we do love making them!!! As long they appreciate our wok, we are very happy!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-134 aligncenter" title="ixora cake 1" src="http://www.ixoracakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ixora-cake-1.jpg" alt="ixora cake 1" width="500" height="383" /></p>
<p>One of them was kids’ birthday, mother came and showed us the book of her daughter’s current favorite book, I was also in love the theme as I personally like the movie, haven’t read the book yet. We were very excited to make the cake!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-136 aligncenter" title="ixora cake 2" src="http://www.ixoracakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ixora-cake-2.jpg" alt="ixora cake 2" width="407" height="542" /></p>
<p>This is also another birthday cake that we did a while back, this one was huge! It was for a man that celebrated his 52nd birthday, it was a great party we heard. He had the party in one of the nicest hotel in Seminyak, had an Indonesian artist, well we can say that she’s already very international now. Obviously, his favorite drink is this Remy Martin, that’s why they ordered this cake, not easy to make! It takes a while, patience and even to carry it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-138 aligncenter" title="ixora cake 3" src="http://www.ixoracakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ixora-cake-3.jpg" alt="ixora cake 3" width="433" height="709" /></p>
<p>This one is for a wedding, the bride loves lotus flowers and the wedding also has the same theme color as the cake. All made by sugar paste, except the dragonflies though. Lotus is actually one of the most difficult flowers to make with sugar paste, you have to start way in advance, it is very fragile, since you can’t really make it too thick. It is very challenging to make the petals remain like that; blooming position, not falling down nor standing up. Since it is very thin, it can also break easily. But we finally did it and it didn’t break or anything.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-140 aligncenter" title="ixora cake 4" src="http://www.ixoracakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ixora-cake-4.jpg" alt="ixora cake 4" width="402" height="448" /></p>
<p>This one also for a wedding, it is actually the top cake for mini cakes. I just loved the couple figurines! Normally we make the figurines made of full sugar paste, not with wires. We tried this the first time and it actually turns out to be really cute! Also probably because of the pose, groom proposing the bride, definitely one of our best figurines from the last couple of months.<br />
We just lost our camera today, sad news indeed. Still try to look for it, there are a lot of our cake photos from the last two (2) weeks. We will be busy again next weekend, start of October, we will have 10 wedding cakes on October 3rd, 2009, wow! Will update you then.</p>
