its..RM 130 for the class

warning...its not as easy as you think....
the chef (Eric Kwan) demonstrated..it looked so simple. but when we tried it out on out own sponge cake....
ermmm...
mine was a mess...
i did, take out the cream and do again...
there were a few regulers, who got it the first time. wah, like pro...
most of the participants were "aunties".ladies of leisure.
hahhaha
i think i was the youngest one there.
here are some of the chef's masterpiece.

this one is done with whipping cream, melted chocolate and fruits

this one is very very complicated!
it is done with just whipping cream and strawberry topping jam. very cute and classic

this is done with green tea powder and fruits.

this is made using chocolate decoration which are so fun and simple to make =)
and also fruits.
strawberries, canned peaches, kiwi fruit, grapes can be used.
we were also taught how to make chocolate fan and butterfly wings.

this is very beautiful. and so complicated. needs lots of skill >.<
which i don't possess at the moment.

overall, the class was really good.It taught us the basic techniques and the rest..well, the sky (and my skill) is the limit...

so the very next day (with inspiration) i tried my very first cake..for my dear friend bee ling's birthday.
(with the help with my mummy and sister)
using the sponge cake mix, i made a plain sponge cake...
and whipped the whipping cream

got ready the chocolate decorations

the fruits for deco..



presenting my masterpiece! its sort of my own design. improvised and combined the ones i learned from the class =)


and we (jane, ing swan, james, my sister and I) surprised her on monday..belated
b'day.

it was so much fun! =D
definitely going to make more cakes in the future.hehe
