Wilton Method cake Decorating Course 1-3

I had viewed and seen a lot of wilton's product. However was not able to attend this intensive 3 days course last year as my maid was back for 1 month.

This year round, I had manage to find out and sign up for the course. So will be flying out tomorrow to KL as the course start on the 25th till the 27th Nov. AM very excited to see what is taught and how my skill will improve..

4th Anniversary of our togetherness...

Firstly would like to wish my hubby happy 4th anniversary and thanks for the great support, understanding and contribution to me n the family. We really love you.

I had made a new cake today. One that I had never tried before and eaten before coz I'm just not a puding and mousse person. But thought that I gave it a try and wau la... It was quite nice... Really a recipe tat i'll keep but will try to reduce the sugar abit as most of it is chocolate..

Chocolate Cupcake

Had not been baking lately as the whole family was sick one after the other.. Just feel like resting and finally was free and decided to try making cupcakes. I try this chocolate cupcake which was quite straight forward and with the help of my boy..

Once the chocolate cupcake was out, it was really black in colour not from overbaked but coz i think of the coco powder added in. So decided to put in some decorations for the cake. There was a lot of ideas from the book but i was just wanna try making something simple and straight forward.

I really liked the idea of making fondant and the book showed a lot of cute design using fondant etc but dun know why i was a bit reluctant to try it.. Firstly, dun know how much of it will be needed, no ingredient available, thinking that it will be a lot of effort to made it.. Just decide to drop it n go for something simple.

Here I just use whipped cream as topping and put some of the ready chips.. It turn out quite cute. Overall, the chocolate cupcake taste quite nice.. Will use this recipe again next time.

Orange Butter Cake

This was another bake that I had made last week which I had forgotten all about. This was another try on Amy Heng's cake recipe as I had no idea of what to bake so this was what I chose to try on.

The recipe was quite simple and my oldest son really loved it. It was not too dry and at first thought it was a bit oily. But by night time, it was just nice.

Non-baked Mango Cheese cake

Was left with 3 extra mango, so decided to try out a non baked mango cheesecake recipe from the Amy Heng. Her cake was a bit complicated with the side baked cake and the mango pudding. I just decided to go for a simple one as it had been quite long time since I made a mango cheesecake and so got a bit of craving for it.

I had used marie biscuit for this and 2 mangoes - 1 for puree & 1 as mango cubes in the mango cheesecake. The cake taste quite refreshing and a bit of soury taste maybe due to the mango and the orange juice used.

I liked it..

Strawberry Mashmallow cake & I got order for another 2 cake

Well, today I got another two order of cake: Mango Blueberry and Hazelnut Coffee Cake. Hope my friends like it and will help spread the virus and get others ppl to try.

Back to this post, I also wanna try in another new cake : strawberry Mashmallow cake. I haven't try it yet as wan to wait for hubby to come back tomorrow and try with him. overall it's just strawberry and mashmallow filling. I guess it might be a bit lacking in taste coz I didn't add in a "Kirsch" not sure what's tat. But I think it should be the strawberry flavour or something.. Will update once I try it out..

My New Toy.. :p

Yes, I just got my new toy ha ha.. I knew about this mixer since last year where I started to bake more. But it was very expensive.. But I got a chance to try it out coz my ex collegues was very good and borrow me her mixer.

After trying it out, it really help save a lot of hand energy and it was so simple to make up a cake. The nicest thing i like abt it was it can whip up whip cream nicely. Yes it cost me almost B$1k plus i got myself a SCRAPE-A-BOWL Flat Bleater and put it to try this afternoon.

It was just fantastic and no need for me to do the scraping at all.. ha ha..
