Foreverfriends Honey,
Sorry for late reply.
Wah, didn't log in since yesterday afternoon and the thread "rocketed"!!

Thank you for your kind words..
The pink coloured on my "bug and butterfly" are just buttercream coloured in pink.

Ruffybear,
Good start on the fondant cake you made for your son.

Fatmum,
Nice cookies made using the Winnie the Pooh cutter range.
I am sure it will be a hit amongst kids even adults too..
Where to buy the cutter from anyway? How much ya?

Peng,
You made lovely pizza there. Drooling leow..
 
jj, where u get your fondant? from scratch or ready made?

btw, how much is the fee for the lesson on fondant? me interested ler.
 
Hi Niko,
I bought ready made fondant from Sun Lik. Brand Bakels Pettinice. $7.20 for a pack of 750gm.

Tried using PH house brand fondant before but find it too difficult to manage, sticky.

However, I don't really like the taste of fondant, nice to see not so nice to eat.

I attended the baking class on x'mas cupcakes conducted by chef Joycelyn. It cost $129.
She is really good in baking and have skill in every bakes she made.
Classy design and really eye-catching..

You may visit her blog:-
http://www.brandoesq.blogspot.com/

During the course, she taught on different cupcakes and ended with fondant making (I find it too short, if only longer will be great).
I wish to learn more too on fondant making.
If only there is lesson solely on fondant will be great as fondant can make wonders to the apprearance of our cakes.

Any mummies know of any fondant class going on? I am interested.
 
JJ,
you attended Shermay's Cooking School, under chef Joycelyn Shu?
her fondant skill super good not? u have her webby?

That time was during X'mas period so she taught only on X'mas fondant deco for cupcakes.
I find that she is really talented and great skill in all her bakes. Very pro!

Check out her blog as I just posted.

wow, jj, saw your si fu's cup cake. Wonderful. How come her fondant snowman/penguin a bit sink (pushed in) inside one? She taught you to buy fondant from sun lik? Or the fondant use in class is from where? is she conducting any fondant specialized classes? Sorry hor, so many questions for you. You are so popular mar. Hehe..

She pushed in the fondant snowman/penguin towards the frosting so that it is more steady.
But truly nice hor, her creation?!
Simply wonderful and really respect her talent!!

She bought ready made fondant too, save time.
She told us the brand to buy fondant from; either Bakels Pettinice or Wilton.

ladies
could i check what's cream of tartar for?
for whipping cream, other than buy it off the shelf, how to DIY our own?
 
Hi Mummies,
whao so much action today
happy.gif


Peng,JJ,
The fondant I made from recepies. Didn't try the ready mix as heard many mixed reviews about it. Actually much cheaper also to DIY just need the correct tools.

I think one of the mummies also posted some fondant recepie here..can't remember which archives.
 
hwee...am a WAHM...busy busy everyday...sianz...since have my boy i dun cook as frequent as b4 ....ah lao complaining of missing homecooked food liao...i can only do my baking at nite after putting my boy to bed.
 
Hwee,
You are champion!!
But then hor, Shermay's guest chef class, Joycelyn normally full accomodating 30-35 students!!

The previous time I called in for her class but was put on waiting list and lucky thing someone can't make it to put me into that slot, else can't even attend.

I am sure most here wants to learn fondant from Shi-Fu like her too..

Peng,
your first attempt Pizza already so successful and tasted yummy!
I can order too..
 
Ruffybear,
How is the texture of your self made fondant?
Ya, buying ready made is expensive but easier..
Already moulding a bit difficult for 1st timer like me.. (cold sweat ah..)

So, good to attend class for my standand..
 
peng, lucky you to be WAHM.
happy.gif
envy, envy! hmm....seems like we same same huh? i also bake after the kids go to bed. usually around midnight there'll be cake smell for my neighbours. haha!
 
jj, haha! i hao lian only la! she told me got other ppl asking for the same class too! but chef jocelyn may not be the instructor for fondant class. so we jus have to wait la! hopefully we'll hear something in mar or apr. then we quickly go chope all the seats!
 
Peng, I will ask my hubby to put my girl to bed when I busy baking cake. I also bake cake after work, start at 9pm, stop at 11pm.

n2inpink,

sunny,
cream of tartar usually helping stabilize and give more volume to beaten egg whites.
It is the acidic ingredient in some brands of baking powder. It is also used to produce a creamier texture in sugary desserts such as candy and frosting. It is used commercially in some soft drinks, candies, bakery products, gelatin desserts, and photography products.

for whipping cream,
i usually use TOPPIN PRIDE, the quality is quite good, the result of whipped cream is much more firm than PH red man. price abt the same. S$5 for 1 litre.
 
JJ,
I tried 3 different type of fondant.
1.rolled out fondant- this one is in between for the texture. not as stiff and not so soft as MMF
2. MMF- easiest and fastest to mix..however it is the wettest..as can see in the cupcake pics on my blog.
3. Sugarpaste used to make my son's cake and the red sofa cake. IT breaks easily and hardens very fast
 
cl, i hear very cunning laugh lor! :p ya, our sons same age yet so many months apart. mine just passed so no need so soon. yr girl which month huh? i forgot liao. no need to pass at work la. pass near our home also can. haha!

WAHM means working at home mum. right, peng?
 
pink
thanks a lot!
looks like cream of tartar is not a must though it's stated in some recipe, right?
where to buy toppin pride? NTUC got?
 
sunny,
yes you can omit it if you want, i usually omit it cos my texture of egg white with sugar quite ok
happy.gif

Toppin pride can get it from sunlik, NTUC didn't carry tis item...

I'm going home liao....

have a blessed weekend to all!
 
Hwee, ok I am set!
Thanks!

Me also bake at night if possible, when the kids are asleep else quickly bake when they were taking a nap in the afternoon.
Else bake early in the morning.. (so cham hor..)

Ruffybear,
Wow, you tried 3 types of fondant?
Superb! Which you prefer actually?
Can share recipes, maybe will try one fine day doing the fondant on my own.
Saw your blog, not bad your fondant creation for a start. Keep it up ya and do share your fruits here..

Sunny,
I have seen Sun Lik selling Topping Pride too but not sure NTUC though.
 


thanks pink, jj.
