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.

Last 29 November 08, 4 students namely Rozita, Junaidah, Yattie and Rubiah joined my cake decorating class. The class was filled with fun jokes and laughter here and there, mostly it was their first time in cake decorating. Teachniques for piping of rose was introduced.

Birthday Cake!!!

Meet Samuel my youngest student so far.... One day Samuel found me from the net and called me to check if we could bake together a birthday cake for his girlfriend. I immediately said Ok and discussed the type of cake he prefered.

One afternoon he dropped by my kitchen and both of us came up with a Chocolate Truffle cos I said that was my speciality and repeat orders. While having conversation with him I discovered that Samuel is an intelligent and mature young man despite his age. We exchange ideas on how to plan time management on studies and gave me good tips on how to do well for Syakir Primary school matematics.

Hmmm... look how dedicated Samuel is in his cake decorating!!!

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.

My final presentation. Black Forest cake.

This is a practice session for the coming exams. Roses are made of Marzipan.... and I guess I've got more skills how to make it looks alive... thumbs up again... Thanks guys.

Petites Fours

For the past 2 weeks we practised on Petite Four cakes. Petites Fours-A French term used to describe a multitude of small daity confections and biscuits - no longer than one or two bites most commonly served with the coffee at the completion of dinner or lunch. The word Petite means little and Fours means oven in French.

Carefully observe the importance of layering jam, marzipan as a lamination between the cake base and fondant. The proper procedure of melting the fondant and steps to achieving to consistency and gloss. For topper we used marzipan ornaments..... fruits, royal icing... it up to your creativity.

For the base we used heavy Genoese, the texture is lesser crumbs compared to butter cake and the method of whipping the eggs and sugar is slightly different, at the intial stage we manually eat the egg on a double boil which is also known as Sabayong.

You can also decorated it with chocolate decor designs.

Suhaila, a secondary school teacher from Hougang is my guest student this week. Hmmm.... teacher mets instructor.... oops no dont worry no conflicts. She choose the package cake decor class Cupcakes & Novelty cake. A soft spoken young lady, Suhaila is very keen to explore the world of cake decorating. I am glad that she chooses my class as part of the new embarkment into baking.

Suhaila reminds me of my early days in baking..... well she made the right move to start early.

Cake Decorating Class

This week, I received 2 guest students, Hasnah and Ros. All the way from Pasir Ris and Tampines. Hasnah has asked if I could teach barbie doll cake decor, so I thought why not we do all 4 products, barbie doll, basketweave & edible image cake. Both has basic cake decor fundamental so it was easy and they are very creative too! Class started at 10.30am and ended almost 5pm and it went smoothly and the girls are proud to bring their products home.

Barbie Doll by Ros....

This is Hasnah's.... she said Barbie doll "pakaian muslimah"....

When Hasnah email me the photo a car Porche.... I cannot image how to design the cake for her. Couldnt use flower motive cos it's a 21yrs nephews birthday. So we discuss and since it is mostly grey colour, why not try something different rather than the normal pink, blue colour

Basketweave by Hasnah.

So this is the final products..... anyone interested to joint cake decor?
