Buttercream Cupcake Class 29 May 2011

My first official class ever. Wished I had taken photos. These photos are courtesy of Pn Hani Suruli of Putrajaya. This class was attended by Pn, Hani, Pn. Suzi, Pn. Azida, Pn. Yan and my young cousin Farida. In this module, students were taught hands-on how to bake and decorate cupcakes from the recipes given. Tools and utensils were provided during class. Light lunch was also provided. Each student were given 12 (or more) cupcakes to decorate and bring home. Students were required to bring their apron and containers for the finished products. Class starts at 10.30am and ends at 3.30pm (from my experience, class may overrun by one or two at most, hours). :)

Classic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Topping ordered by Pn Julia Mohamed

 

Julia is one of my oldest friends. She's currently based in the States. For her mom's birthday, she planned a double surprise, birthday plus Mother's Day celebration with her family. For this, Julia ordered this Classic Carrot Cake (I understand it's Aunty Zainah's favourite) from me and a bouquet of flower arrangement from my florist aunt, Indok. It was nice to hear that Aunty Zainah had a lovely celebration and loved the cake and flowers, which were sent (literally) with love from her beloved daughter halfway across the world. Happy Birthday Aunty Zainah!

This is one lucky girl! This is the 2nd birthday cake for 3 year old Eryna. Mom Sharifah ordered the Hello Kitty cake for yesterday's celebration, and another birthday cake, this time RV for today. Reminds me of this T-shirt quote, "MOM's were born to please their children"! Oh the things we do for our little ones...

Piping Jelly Hello Kitty Birthday Cake for Pn Sharifah of Lembah Keramat

 

Another fan of Hello Kitty, pinkster Eryna's Choc Moist Cake with buttercream and piping jelly decor. 9" (2kg). I love the pink and white contrast, as we all know pink is the trademark colour for Hello Kitty. It's been quite some time since I last received an order for piping jelly drawing. So it was a delightful change from the printed edible image orders that I quite often receive nowadays (although I had the "artist's block" for moment, I don't know what came over me. I knew how I wanted the cake to be, but I just couldn't bring myself to start drawing. After I started with the outlines, it all came back naturally, and voila! The cake as you can see above). To Princess Eryna, wishing you a very happy birthday! May your life bloom in to a flower - beautiful, sweet and happy.

Train 3D Cake for Pn Adilah

I immensely enjoyed doing this train cake. It was a Choc Moist cake with American buttercream. Puan Adilah chose a design with the train bearing gifts and requested it to be colourful and cheery for her three year old son Ibrahim. This was quite a big cake, about 3kg and 14" wide. I hope little Ibrahim had a great birthday party, I wish you a happy and joyful life ahead. May all your dreams come true. Happy birthday!
