LittleGemz @ CupCakes Class II

Last Saturday I actually attended a cupcake class by Nurainie. Basically the medium used was fondant. We have to make 4type of designs. As usual my design don't turn out to be so nice. hehe. So when its time to snap the picture I change the design a bit. I put on the rose which I done once I came back from class. heheh. Owwhh, sad to say my button flower break off on the way home... So have to make the picture a bit blur lah.. hehe. Thats all for today... Happy viewing ;p

LittleGemz @ Steam Buttercream Course

Last few weeks I attended a hands-on Steam Buttercream Class by Ms Norpishah (18/03/2009). In this class we learn how prepare a suitable buttercream for this method. Steaming method which I can say its a double boil method will gave u a smooth surface finish for your cake. It'll took only a few minutes & you don't even need a spatula to smoothen the buttercream.

I personelly likes this method coz I'm not good at smooth-out the buttercream (it take me ages to smooth the surface). But (there's also but ok... heheh), I quite didn't like the taste. The taste is more to margerine than butter... hehe... Maybe i can adjust a bit of here & there to get a buttercream which suit to my taste... hehe. And there's also another thing, it couldn't give you a sharpe edge... huhu..

This picture was snap after cake being poured by buttercream.
You can see the smooth surface finish for this cake. But mine is not
too smooth, still need more practice.

My decorated cake. To me its a bit 'kasar' but I didn't have much time.
Our class finished at 2.00pm & I have to rushed to Medan Gopeng coz
my sister's bus is at 2.30pm. She's going back to her matriculation college.

On the 1st day I learn to how-to-make flowers by using royal icing. There are few types of flower such as; daffodils, chrysanthemums, rose buds, daisies and more. On the second day we have to bring our on cake & frost it with buttercream. Each one of us frost our cake with a thin layer of buttercream and make an impressive flower basket cake using the interwoven basket weave technique... hehe. In a grand finale, we arranged those royal icing flowers on the cakes including the birds which made of color flow.

Basic cake and cupcakes decoration (13/09/08) & Basic sugarpaste (fondant) & gum paste cake decoration (14/09/08)

Last few weeks I've actually attend decorating class. It was held for 2 days @ Kak Min's House. We start from baking to decorating cakes & cupcakes. The medium was Buttercream & Fondant. Before this I'm bit of scared to frost one whole cakes. However, on the 1st day I manage to frost 8inch cake during this class. I even made the basket wave style. And don't forget the roses. I've never do roses in my life. hehehe... Congratulation to my self (clap clap).

Next day was the Basic sugarpaste (fondant) & gum paste cake decoration class. I was given a dummy cake & was asked type of deco that I wanna have. Wow.. I guess I have too many ideas in mind till don't know which one to choose... ekekeke. Then I decided to have one little cute cake with combination of pastel color. But I'm too slow a.k.a lembab during this class because I'm so particular in each design. Yet also the 1st timer... ekekeke. So everybody, here I present my 1st ever Fondant Cake. taraaaaa..

My 1st Ever Fondant Cake... It does look nice rite?

Roses... Any comments???
