Cuti Nurul Quran....

Hari cuti... and I'm home, I mean really at home. Both hubby and son are working, bcos they both work in KL.  My two daughters are also out, one shopping with her friends and the other with her bf plus she has taken my car.  So, like it or not, I'm staying put in the house. I've baked two cakes this morning. One was a disaster, why? because I made the mistake of putting in icing sugar instead of flour... can you believe it? Me? Making that kind of mistake and to think that I had actually reminded myself that the container is icing sugar and not flour ! so I've labelled that container.... sugar is expensive you know !

After thinking quite a bit, I finally decided to just go and sign up for ICCA (Wilton's) Basic Cake Decorating class in PJ.  I realise I really want to learn the basic method of cake decorating. Glad I made this decision because I've learn quite a bit in this class. For RM500.00, the fees is quite steep.  So far, I've decorated a cake and cupcakes. Tomorrow is our last session, instead of butter cake, I've decided to bake marble cake for me to ice and bring it to class for more decorating.  Can't wait to learn how make the roses! :D

Let's see what I've learned so far in this class, not difficult for me, since I have been doing this on my own. But I'm happy to be doing this using the Wilton method... :D

This is Adlina, our Instructor showing us how to ice a cake using butter cream. Next is the ready iced cake.

 

This is the final product of my decorated cake.... not bad huh! I'm happy with it ! hehehe

 

Next we learned to make some flowers, and later decorate cupcakes...



we have templates that came with our training kit. 
so we actually pipe the flowers on the template.







below are cupcakes decorated by yours truly...........


below are gum phase flowers left to dry from another classes.  I want to go for this class but its RM750.00 !  Huhuhu... next year lah !
