OUR STUDENTS 3 TIER WEDDING CAKES - CLASS HELD ON 30.1.10

Eight students attended our 3 tier wedding cake class held on 30.1.10. Nora, Lingzie, Marina, Nina, Yati, Shariza, Jamilah and Anna. All of them had no prior experience working with fondant (except for Anna) and reinforcing their cakes using dowels. It was really a fun class as all the students came up with their own designs.Pictures below show our students creations, all assembled in a romantic wedding setting. Nora and Yati packed their cakes before the photo shoot as it was getting late.

3 TIER WEDDING CAKE CLASS ON 30.1.10

'HANTARAN' CAKE AND SILLY FEET CUPCAKES.

The cake is a moist butter-vanilla cake and filled with chocolate fudge filling. The cake is covered in chocolate fondant and decorated with cornelli lace, patchwork cutter lace and gumpaste roses. There was some cake batter left, so I baked them into cupcakes.The cupcakes were piped with buttercream and drizzled with Hershey's chocolate sauce. yummm.... utterly delicious!

SUJEE FRUIT CAKE FOR A FRIEND FROM CANADA.

I baked this sujee(semolina) fruit cake for an old friend of mine, Padmini, who is here on a holiday to visit her family. She migrated to Canada about 20 years ago (wow! that makes me feel old~!) because her husband is based there. We were childhood friends and we still keep in touch through emails. I know my friend loves to eat fruit cakes, so I baked one for her to have for tea. This cake was really moist and the addition of semolina and almond nibs added a subtle crunch to it. My friend and I nearly polished off the whole cake as we became nostalgic and start to reminisce the memories of yesteryears. I also made a big pot of refreshing Darjeeling tea and the steaming hot tea paired very well with the fruit cake. I have tried many fruit cake recipes before but most of them did not meet with my expectations; they were either too dry or the mixed fruits sank to the bottom. However this recipe is not dry and the fruits were evenly distributed. This cake is included in our 3 tier wedding cake class and our students will be given the recipe.
