At long last (Part II)

Since the last baking class i attended in Sept last year, I finally got another chance to attend another one today. Actually there are so many baking classes/ courses available these day, but to find one that is of interest and suits the timing is not so easy, plus the price does not come cheap. Anyway, to cut long story short, I chanced upon this very interesting class - Buttercream Roses Cake by Sugar Inc., and attended the class today with my friend E. With no piping skills at hand, and being able to pipe out roses was really incredible. Not that I'm good, but it all thanks to Anna being really precise and clear in her instructions and demo. Of course, there's alot of practices required, you know what i mean by looking at the pictures below.

These are art-pieces from our group. Guess which is mine?

And these are from another group.

The purple and white is by Anna, and the rest of the class. Think

this group's piping is the best!

Ta-ta.... this is what I've done. They look better from afar

My 1st fondant

I've been longing to attend a baking class or 2, but it's not easy for me to fit it to my sort of busy/ tired schedule. So far, i only attended PH's baking class but it was quite tiring as the class ended like 10++ pm, and on a weekday! Many of the classes these days doesn't come cheap, and you really need to turn up if you have registered for it.

For me, i prefer cake decorating classes at this moment and was eyeing at classes available at Sugar Inc. I missed the registration for the last round, and when they open up new classes again, i sign up almost immediately without thinking too much as to whether I can make it on that day, whether T can handle little zak when i gone for classes, etc. Almost not able to make it due to my back problem, and it seems a totally busy day; morning prayers at the temple for my mum, ferrying my mil for tui-na in the afternoon, had our late lunch, sending my mil home, and i was LATE for the class!

Luckily i didn't miss much of the class, and i must say the fondant class and trainer Ophilia is very good and patient! Thumbs up!! However, making those little designs for small cupcakes can be quite a 'neck-breaking' experience ;-)

Actually, i'm quite 'mountain tortoise' (ignorant), this is also the first time i've tried a fondant.

In total, we decorated six cupcakes..... all are impromptu designs, except for the rose and ribbon.

ONE of the cupcakes is missing in the above picture..... cos it went to little zak's stomach straight after my class!!

The MISSING cupcake.....


Fondant is really for little children only ;-) Too sweet for adults.
