Wilton Deco 1 - Completed

Alhamdulillah. Thank God. Without me realising it, it is over. Today is my last day for Wilton Deco 1. Our graduation project is to deco a 10" round cake with roses. And to apply techniques that we have learned throughout the class. And message on cake. I baked a strawberry cake. Rich with fresh strawberries. A 4"height cake. Haha... I managed to get the right height this time. But I had to bake double for lil Farisa's Pocoyo choc cake.

I was really out of time. I was rushing for the roses. Eventhough only 10 -12 roses were needed, I had to do more. To get the best 10. My lovely niece asked me for a Jim Jam & Sunny. But I could not find a big pic of them. So.. I asked my ever dearest hubby to ask wether lil cute Pocoyo is acceptable. Lucky me, it was a green light. Sunday morning I rushed to iced the 10" cake at about 7.30am. Then start to iced the Pocoyo's cake and start to decorate it. I did the major one. Since it was time to leave for the class, my hubby and daughter assisted me in final touch up.Just adding hearts and nonpareils. I got to bring the whole family as it was no way to travel here and there. I need to rush to my niece house immediately after the class.

When I reached my class. They have started with drop flowers and stars. And some still continuing their roses. Including me.... hehehe. Then sweet peas. Then ribbons. Then leaf....Then start to decorate the cake. I realised there was a patch on the side of my cake. I tried to smooth it out with spatula soaked in hot water. It didnot help much. So I decorated it with lots and lots of drop flowers. I arranged my roses to form a big 'C'. I need to leave some space for message writting. I made shell borders for the cake with stars at the side. I wrote Happy Birthday Farisa in Green. A real contrast for a peach background and add lil hearts in green icing on empty spaces.

So... congratulation to myself and happy first birthday to my sweet baby Farisa... She's my so called granddaughter you know. What else do you call your niece daughter.... :-)





To all my Wilton Deco 1 classmates, congratulations and best wishes to whatever you want to pursue in life.....



To my instructor Soon Ching, thank you very much.

Bila Hati Tak Tenang

I believed in energy transfer. Meaning, bila kita sedih, surrounding kita pun sedih. Bila kita happy, surrounding kita pun happy. Sama juga dengan memasak atau membakar. Bila kita ceria, masakan kita atau kek ataupun kuih-muih kita jadi extra sedap. And that's the real secret ingredient.

Bila badan dah letih, jiwa gelisah, my cupcakes did not turn up as it should be. Pertama kali since I start this biz, I did my deco so badly. My clown cupcakes did not look funny at all. Luckily my bear did look like a bear. The rest only hearts. I should do dots, shell and many more. But I did not have the heart to do so. Dalam kelas pun blank jer.

So, it is true. And next time, I will not touch a thing bila hati tak tenang. How good is your cupcake, with this kind of negative energy. It is a total disaster!!!

Broken Hearts

I had my deco class last Sunday. Kebetulan pada hari yang sama Noonee`s Cookies pun terlibat dalam Hari Mesra Rakyat. So, kenalah buatkan cupcakes untuk dia orang. Cupcakes itu adalah sebahagian daripada kursus-kursus yang akan ditawarkan oleh Noonee`s Cookies di Subang Jaya nanti.

Apa lagi, since dah bancuh icing untuk kelas deco, swirlkan sekali atas cupcakes tu. Hasilnya memang mengkagumkan. Icing tu bagai membeku atas cupcakes. Semua sekali 70 biji. Idea dah mula kering. Teringat pula hasil kerja seorang baker dari Australia. Dia buat corak abstract yang simple je. Tapi memang menarik. Tu laa.....konon-konon nak ikut ler gaya minah Aussie tu. Akhirnya corakku kantoi. Hubby ku kata tak lawa lansung. Pasti tak de yang nak beli. Memang pun, aku yang tengok pun tak selera. Saw the broken hearts dari my jumbo hearts sprinklers. Apa lagi, kutepekkan kan jer kat corak abstak yang tak jadi tuuu.

Petang tu, masa habis menegmas... Hubby ku kata... orang kata cupcakes yang terlebih baking soda tu sodap... My broken hearts pun habisss.. Yang pasti the new icing that I learnt, memang sedap.

Never Too Late To Learn

Kita tak pernah terlalu tua untuk menuntut ilmu. Dan kita perlu menuntut ilmu hingga ke liang lahad. I`m counting days to be 36 this year. Tetapi apa yang saya pelajari kini lebih kepada skill dan minat saya. Inilah hari pertama saya menyertai kelas Wilton Decorating Course 1. Terkocoh-kocoh juga pagi tadi, ingatkan terlambat. Rupanya kelas mula pukul 11.00pagi.

Kadang-kadang kita terasa macam kita dah tahu segala. Kita selalu terlupa bahwa tiada yang sempurna di dunia ini, Pasti ada yang lebih baik daripada kita dan yang kurang daripada kita. Kekurangan dan kelebihan ini melengkapkan kita di dalam satu komuniti.


Unfortunately I don`t own a phone camera. I`ll try and get few snaps later in my other 3 classes. Overall, okay. We learned basics in cake deco. Tools required. Buttercream icing recipe. Again, it is a boring class unless you have passion. Tetapi instructor, Soon Ching, memang sporting. Mana tidaknya...the other 6 students dok mengutuk dia. Depan-depan plak tu. Tapi dia maintain jer.
Hmm.. got to go..
