PME Royal Icing

Learnt a lot of piping work... very challenging but it was Fun too :-)

For the first two lessons, did a lot of piping work till my hands dropped dead!

And towards the last few lessons, just constructing the cakes with all the piping work that was done earlier. Very Challenging indeed. Not sure if Royal Icing is my cup of tea.... think i prefer playing with fondant but doing an intricate work of Royal Icing does gives a lot of satisfaction when you see the final product :-) very time consuming too :-)

Flow with Fantasy workshop

A great chance to learn under Kelvin Chua :-)

Cheesecakes Demo

Attended a demo workshop at Shermay - cheesecakes

My girls love the tofu cheesecake from Sun with Moon, so decided to attend the cheesecake workshop to learn :-)

Tried out the recipes at home :-)

Chocolate cake baking and Chocolate fondant roses

Thought I set up a separate blog for my baking... still an amateur...lots to learn :-)

a journal into the world of baking... started baking back in Secondary School where I was taught home science... baking was fun and my dad bought me my first Kenwood mixer :-) Somehow, baking took a backseat during my working years till now...

did some baking fun when my girls were growing up (only when we have the oven!)

My older girl loves to bake too but she is now studying in Melbourne. My younger girl is pretty busy with her secondary school life which left me with more time on my own.

So, I decided to take up some courses :-) and thus started this journey.

My first workshop - Chocolate cake baking and Chocolate Fondant Roses making by Calvin Mark

Attended another two more workshop by Calvin - cake pops and shortbread
