Cake decorating course by Tan See Fong


Today, I had joined a cake decorating course by Tan See Fong. It seem he is quite famous in the area of cake decorating and had come up with a number of cake decorating books.
AS it was my first time to go for a cake decorating class and that my covering of icing is very bad so it was a challenge for me. But all it need was a bit of pratice. ANd practice made perfect. THis was the cake I had done.

Milky Mantou

Had not logged into all my baking recently.. had been lazy ha ha.. My Father in law had suddenly requested me to made Mantou yesterday. Was Surpised and excited as well. Previously I had tried it but it was a failure - the mantou was hard and the yeast smell was so strong.
So had been searching for the recipe last night and I found this sharing from 周老師的美食教室 . Her mantou was especially simple to made and only took a total of two hour and 40 min to get the dough double in size.
The result: Good to me. But it's still not the type my father in law was looking for so I'll still need to look for more mantou recipe. ha ha.. But here is the recipe from this teacher. Thanks to her I got the chance to try this milky mantou recipe. Happy trying
