Foundation Baking starts here Part 2~~

My baking buddy and i were looking forward to 2nd lesson which is all about chiffons..  I enjoyed the 2nd lesson more than lesson 1. probably cos of lesser washing. i remembered i smelt of Butter after the 1st class! its the 1st time i felt smelly also.. haha .

We have baked pandan, banana and citrus chiffon cake. n which one we like best????

Citrus Chiffon Cake ( refreshing orange mixed with lemon zest) followed by Banana.

Since my uncle is going to hold house warming this sunday, i am going to bake this citrus chiffon cake again. Before that, i will make an attempt 1st.. u know la.. Practice Made Perfect!

Foundation Baking starts here Part 1~~

Finally after 2 months of waiting, the foundation baking course i have signed up for has come. During the 1st lesson, it was really damn pack and i was informed that there is 32 students. and guess what, my baking buddy told me only last row available when she reached the class at 12.40. kiasu right!!!!
What to do, my baking buddy and i decided to reach class earlier at 12.30 for lesson 2 in order to grab the seats in front! hiak hiak hiak...

On the 1st lesson, we have baked a few types of butter cakes such as marble butter cake, walnut cake and chocolate cupcake. out of which, walnut cake win the best! its not sweet and light texture. Thumbs up!






P/S: i am unable to share the recipe from the class i have learnt. if u are keen to try out, drop me a mail. i will be glad to bake some for you to sample :)

Decorated Cookies!



Recently found out that there seems to be a 'craze' about decorated cookie. so i decide to bake some and try it on my own. I was really tempt to sign up the course at BIY but after baking myself, i am glad that i did not!

Taste: the cookie is rich in buttery taste and i have reduce the sugar since i am going to decorate it..

Remark: i wont try decorated cookie again. My hubby commented that the icing is too sweet (this is despite i add in almost 1 tbsp of lemon and 1tsp lemon zest). The icing i use has a faint lemon zest smell but then the big CON is too sweet la!~
