Baking Project

Yesterday we tried to make a different looking cake.. with two tones. And with the swags (of course !). The finished cake :

What do you think ? Amazing, isn’t it ? I hope the students (Azrina and Zaleha) are happy.

Here’s how we did it. First, cover the whole cake with the pink fondant. Then the tricky part is to put on the top white layer. It has to be larger than the cake’s top and also scalloped at the edges.

The cake was 7″ in diameter. So we cut out a round shape of about 11″ and then make the scallop pattern using a round cutter. Paste the white fondant on top. Cut a few strips and stick to the sides. Then add the swags and roses.

Lastly, arrange the round pearls for the cake edges and pearl dust to make it shine.. The girls started at 10.30 am and finished at about 4.30 pm. So you can imagine the hard work to produce this cake. Congratulations to both girls ye !

Hi everyone.. busy at work ? Or busy cooking ? Hope everything is fine. Just like to showcase some of my talented students’ artwork. Maybe this will give you some cake decorating ideas.

Sorry I can’t show all the cakes here.. but I assure you, all are very pretty in their own way . Thanks to those who came to my humble little kitchen to learn.

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 !

Today is the last day for May. It has been a good month for me, started my classes on the 18th this month. So far, response has been good and I’m quite busy from Friday to Monday. The rest of the days, I finally got the time to myself. Here are some pictures of my students’ work of art.

Thank you to those who came.., jutaan terima kasih and my best wishes to you.
