Cuppie cake craze

Since ages ago, whenever someone has a birthday, there will be a huge cake for celebration. But cakes a such a big hassle. No.1, its so so so hard to divide them into equal pieces to be shared with everyone. No.2, leftover cakes looks too disgusting to bring back. No.3, the cake designs are boring and plain.

Then came the cupcake era, where it replaced birthday cakes altogether. But making nice cuppie cakes ICING is difficult. Of all the cuppie cakes I've tried, the icing always taste like raw butter. Major turn off.

Hence, WenXia booked me for a cupcake course. To learn how to make nice yummy icing, and of course to learn how to decorate them as well. 

It was held at Jaya One. A place named Cake Connections. Inside the cute little place were loads of decorative roses for sale. Gosh. One small rose for sale is about 50cents. Means if you make 50 cupcakes with roses on it it'll be RM 25 bucks liao. Now I know why outside ppl sell cupcakes for 4 bucks each!

1st we were taught how to master the oven. Different oven has different heat capacity, which is crucial for baking. I learn how to prevent cakes from cracking, or sinking, or getting burnt. Haha. 

And also how not to overspill the cupcake content. We were provided the ingredient list as well. But we didn't get hands on practice on baking. (Duh right, if not there'll be 10 batches of cuppie cakes. How to finish?)

While waiting for the cakes to be baked, we were brought to the other part of the kitchen to learn how to make icing. You know I have major phobia on raw-butter-tasting icing, hence this was a good wake up course on how to make sweet icing. 

And its yummy yummy!!

What an eye opening course indeed. I now know how to make super lovely shapes of flowers and leaves on cuppie cakes. Pretty pretty to the max man. Like those commercialized ones good to sell man!!

This is the demo the lady teacher did for us as example. PWETTY!!

And then we had hands on for ourselves. And check out my designs!!!!!!

Nice leh. But this one is see bear cheating one. Hehe. The flower on top is already ready made just dump on top. The other 2 at the back is pure pipping. But its so seven hard to do.

Everyone was given 4 cuppie cakes to try design their own. Check out everyone's designs.

Adios!

(ps: me got smiley face cuppie cake)
