Baking Project

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,

Hi, thanks all for your nice wishes. Today I spent the whole day, from 10 am to 4 pm, teaching two of my friends some basic cake making and decorating. Well, they are my first students.. I have never given any class before but this friend of mine, Ahmootha, had always bugged me to teach her some basic baking. I’ve known Ahmootha since I was seven, can you believe it ? Meaning we’ve been friends for like 28 years ! Its like a reunion in a way.

We made chocolate cake and cupcakes, plus all the decorating. Being totally new and haven’t touch a piping tip/ nozzle before, I’m quite proud with their work. Here are some photos.

My dear childhood friend, Ahmootha, looking so serious icing her cake.

With Vichelle in my kitchen. Quite messy, huh ?

Not bad, right ? The two girls were so excited to bring back their cakes. And after this, they’ll be making cakes on their own for their kids’ birthday (or that’s what they promise). Thanks Ahmootha and Vichelle for visiting my kitchen.. and having to use my old oven !
