Baking Project

I’d like to show you one particular cake done by a student, Nana, which I think really looks beautiful. The cake was decorated with roses. Quite easy to do. First just rolled a piece of rectangular fondant or gumpaste. Fold into two. This is done by Nana :

Then roll, not too tightly, leave some space in between the layers.

Pinch off the excess sugarpaste at the bottom.

The completed cake, what do you think ?

I think it looks so pretty. Congrats to Nana for her first fondant cake !

I’m so happy today, alhamdulillah we completed the first class for basic sugarpaste and gumpaste. The students were Aishah and Sue (check out their blogs for their lovely cupcakes and chocolates). We managed to decorate only one cake each. Much time was spent on showing them how to make marzipan, fondant and how to cover the cakes, and also making some gumpaste flowers. Here are some photos taken this afternoon.

Aishah & Sue, thank you very much for attending my class.. hope you’ll come out with beautiful fondant designs for your products after this.

Salam,
