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 !

It’s been quite a hectic few days, had class on Monday, then went off to follow hubby to Lumut. Got a chance to see my parents while hubby is at work in Hospital TLDM (he’s not a doctor, just an IT guy ). So I have not had the chance to do any real cake decorating work lately. I’ll just show you this face mould that I bought along with the clay extruder.

The front

And back.

Honestly, sometimes I feel like I’m cheating when I use a mould. But then again, the result is beautiful. And making a face is not easy. So I think this is a good buy, cost about RM40.00. The outcome :

Once you colour the eyes and put some hair, it should look pretty. The mould has 4 sizes, so we can make adult and children faces.

I hope to find more moulds for my sugarcraft projects, but here in KL, the choices are really limited. And normally very expensive. I’m hoping one day I can make a trip to UK to stock up on all these gadgets. (when will that be ? )

Ok guys, have a good day. 

Salam,

My new gadget, the ultimate clay extruder ! Well, I use it for my sugarpaste, not clay. It is so easy to use.. just roll a piece of softened sugarpaste into the extruder, then screw it down. Out comes the shapes. The extruder has 20 disc, see the above link. I bought it from ICCA at PJ, RM150.00. Cost about US30.00 originally.

I use the long strands to make the nest for my baby dinosaur.. still in the making.

If you are serious into sugarcraft, I think you should get one of this clay extruder. It makes your job so much easier. You can make uniform looking hair, brick, rope and more. This is my first time trying it, and hopefully I’ll make a full use of it.

Till then, take care
