 Happen to pop by Tom Palette and know that they are conducting ice cream making classes on Sunday morning. I am a fan of their ice cream and without hesitation I had emailed them to check on the price. The price of the ice cream making class is $60 for 2 hrs session and I find that the price is quite reasonable. Furthermore the ice cream is hand made without using the ice cream maker. That makes me want to learn more on how to make delicious ice cream that they are selling over @ Tom Palette. The class is held every sunday morning from 11am to 1 pm. I had asked Sharon if she is interested to join me and she readily agreed. This is the first time we go for cooking class together.

We are each given an ice cream recipe booklet on how to make various flavour of ice cream. Getting ready for hand on ice cream making. So excited!

 The teacher had introduce to us the ingredients and tools in making the ice cream. The main ingredients are whipped cream, full cream milk, sugar and egg yolk.

 After his explanantion, it is time for hands on ice cream making session. In this class, we are making horlick and chocolate ice cream. Below are some photos i had taken during the class.

After some time of waiting, our ice cream is out of the freezer. Time to churn our ice cream!

We had really had fun making the ice cream and I had not regretted attending this class. Tan and I had promised our friends to make ice cream for them. We shall fix a day soon for ice cream making and makan session. Practice make perfect and looking forward to make ice cream for them.

Been busy baking cupcakes for my friends as christmas gift and some orders from my sis, aunty and friends. I am glad that they like my cupcakes and it really makes my day hearing compliments from them. It really motivates me to bake more.

Time to head for the oven to bring the scones out. Stay tune for more updates!

Cheers!

CUPCAKE MAKING CAMP – (CHRISTMAS THEME)

 With Christmas around the corner, have you decided on what
to bake or cook for Christmas party? 2 weeks ago, I had attended Mrs Fong
baking class on cupcakes making (Christmas Theme). This is my 2nd
time attending her baking lesson. The first class that I had attended is the
making of pineapple tarts   that is one
year ago.

The cupcake making camp is a one full day class from 9am to 5pm. In this class, I will get to learn 2D and 3D fondant design, different type of frosting and different type of cupcake making.I had enjoyed Mrs Fong’s baking class as we are able to hands on from making the cupcakes to decorating the cupcakes with fondant, cream and frosting.I believe in hands on for baking so that I will remember what I learnt and Mrs
Fong will walk around in the class to tell us if we are doing the right things.
The class is very interactive and she will go around table to table to see how
we are doing and correct us if our baking technique is wrong. In this class, I
had learnt how to do 2D fondant and 3D fondant design. It is so fun but it really
takes a lot of effort and time to complete one fondant design and now I
understand why those cupcakes with 3D fondant design are so expensive. Below are some pictures that i had taken for the class.

 The very cute 3D fondant snowman and angel that i had made @ Mrs Fong’s class.

Below are the pictures on what other students had done in their cupcake design:

Hopefully the pictures above can give some fondant design ideas for decorating the cupcakes for the upcoming christmas.

I really enjoy myself at Mrs Fong’s cupcakes making class – Christmas Theme and I learnt a lot in this class. I am looking forward for Mrs Fong Chinese New Year cookies baking class if she is conducting. Click here for pineapple tarts making class conducted by Mrs Fong.

Click here if you wants to know the upcoming baking/cooking classes conducted by Mrs Fong.

Stay tune for the next post on the fondant that we had used on the class and the colouring as well. Yesh i am looking forward to the ice cream making class with my best friend next SundaY morning! Cheers!

Have a great weekend ahead~! ~I am still thinking of what cupcakes to bake for submission to Min’s Blog. The due date is nov 2011. Time to start thinking!

Stay tune! :}

CAKE POPS CLASS AT SCOOPY’S & CREAM

Have you ever heard of cake pops? They are bite size cakes on the lollipop sticks with colourful and interesting design. You can design the cake pop with whatever design you can think off, wrap it up nicely and is ready as a gift. Cake pop is popular for birthdays and special theme party where children or even adult will be attracted to it.

I have always wonder how the cake will stay nicely on the lollipop stick and how do I coat the cake with different colouring that I have wanted? Happen to chance upon Groupon website having discount on cake pops making class at 50% discount. Without hesitation, I had purchased the voucher and signed up for the cake pop class. I really love Groupon as the website really offers great deals at promotional price.

The class was held at Scoopy’s & Cream in Downtown East E!Hub level 5. The theme for the cake pop making was actually Halloween. I had attended the class last month. Here we go!

Scoopy’s & Cream

The teacher was very patient in teaching us in doing the cake pops and there were 2 more teachers that go around and answer our queries in cake pops making. We actually did hands on in making the cake pop from moulding the shape, putting the cake to the stick and finally designing the cake pop. I had fun doing the cake pop and below is the picture of my moulded cake pop. The teachers there are very friendly and they really make the class interesting by preparing lots of colourful melts and cake decorative for us to design our cake pops.

Moulded Cake Pops

The final product. Colourful and beautifully decorate cake pops.

With the right class size of 10 students, I guess everyone benefit from this cake pop making class as the teachers try their best to share their knowledge with us and ensure everyone are able to make their own cake pops. Thumbs up!

I am so proud of the cake pop that i had done! After completion, all you need to do is to wrap it nicely with colourful ribbon or theme colour ribbon and is ready as a gift!

I really enjoyed the cake pop making class taught by Scoopy’s & Cream and understand more in cake pop making.

With Christmas around the corner soon, perhaps you can do your own cake pop and give it as a gift for your love ones or friends! Start thinking of the design now.

I will also try to make cake pop to see if i can apply what i had learnt. Time to head down to buy the ingredients for the cake pops. Stay tune for more updates!
