Just wanted to ask you guys about royal icing sugar. I made a batch using meringue powder but immediately after I piped it out, it started to melt...so sad. Is it because its not stiff enough? How stiff is stiff?
Here's my first try on making a fondant cake using rolled fondant...work of a novice lah.
Today our 4 mummies working whole day, baked swiss roll and black forest cake. Total baked 4 swiss rolls and 4 mini cakes plus a heart shape birthday cake for our birthday girl.
Today is my first class to Wilton cake decorating course 1. Very interesting and looking forward to next class. Next week the instructor say we are going to decorate a rainbow cake. But today I spent a lot on the tools and ingredient. Very heart ache.....

Anyone can share with me your recipe for a simple chocolate butter cake/pound cake. I need to bake one for my class next week. Only know how to bake sponge cake but instructor said sponge is too soft and too much crumb, very tough for beginner to start off to ice the cake.
i like Pink's cakes and cupcakes. Thot of getting them for my gal's birthday. Do you know if she takes order? I have emailed her but she seem to be overseas. Thanks
Disclaimer: lemon poppy seed cake recipe was from an American magazine, I didn't hv the "that" ingredient, so I substituted with kiwi seeds - tasted a bit funny hahaha
Pink's buttercream will be pretty sweet based on the amount of sugar used but you can adjust the amount of sugar to suit your sweetness.
The buttercream can be oily if overbeat, so do take note
