Butter Cake (Chiffon Style)

A tip on any butter cake using sugar batter method is not to overmix, so most butter cake uses additional step which is the chiffon style to get that soft chiffon texture cake.

Cake Module 1 - Brownie

This is the 5th and final lesson for Cake Module 1. Three new students tagged to the class, namely Hong Wen, Dewi & Siti. I am amazed at how interested Hong Wen is in baking. He is 17 yr old young guy, I can see with great future in baking if he pursues further.

Hi Izah, I’ve tried the swiss roll and I’m very satisfied with the result. Your method of using the rolling pin to roll is very useful, it turned out to be nicely rolled. Thank you very much to share us with this good method.

Basic Sponge and cake decor

Sponge cake by Hani

It has been a roller coaster week for me,with final module practical exams on 3 Dec 08.... (ended with a happy note) although I didnt sleep for 48 hrs due to work commitment (month end closing... lucky the essence of chicken helped me thru,,,,,). I must say the other day... someone posted me a question " how I managed my role as a mother, full time job, part time instructor and a student myself?" Well my answer is very simple.... time management and it is not the quantity of time you spent with your love once it is the quality time..... I am glad that my family has been very supportive in career path and my passion for baking.

Anyway to end the week, Hani a cheerfull - full time tutor had a private class in my kitchen. She is always generous with her smile wanted to learn on basic sponge cake, so while waiting the cake to bake.... I had a chance to demo to her how to ice the cake.... and some basic cake decorating.

Cake Module 1 - Chiffon Cake

This week we covered topic on Chiffon Method. Personally the baking sessions has so far been meaningful to me. It has expanded my circle of friends a has not only did we discussed but exchange ideas. One example was while waiting for the chiffon to cool for 2 hrs, I had a chance to sit and talk to Momtaz who was once an early childrenhood teacher. It is really amazing how much knowledge she has on childhood development. I guess I've gained best of both worlds.....

Mango and Pandan flavoured Chiffon Cake.

With Rubiah using the Baby belling oven, extended time is required to achieve the actually baking time. Like they all say "get to know you oven".... as the temperature and baking time varies from oen oven to another.

Cake Module 1 - Butter Cake (Marble)

This week's topic Butter cake using Sugar Batter Method. The points to look out for butter cake is during the creaming process. Avoid over mixing and while creaming the fat ensure that scraping on the sides of the mixing bowl is done regularly.

Best is to cut the cake when it is completely cool enabling it absorb enough moisture.

Finale..... Cakes!! Cakes!! Cakes!!

Well it has been a long evening, its the finale for the cake workshop presentation. Everyone was happy with their cakes. So the moment of truth day will be 26 Nov and 3 Dec 08. Yes exams is round the corner again.
