Was reading up on the science of baking and came across this very useful graphic by Sheri's Berries.
Made a failed batch of cupcakes on Saturday as my dough raised a lot more than I expected and it overflowed the cupcake holders. Still trying to figure out how to get my cupcakes to peak towards the centre rather than plateau. It would make quite a bit of difference for the piping.

Went for another lesson with Yume Patisserie and learned how to pipe flowers in this 5 to 6 hours course. My favourite are the roses (bottom middle), and my least favourite were the carnations (top right)... They don't really look like carnations to me... Piped till my right hand started to cramp. I also made a mistake of adding more colouring after my first set of flowers... ended up with overly dark colours... T_T
Ordered some earl grey and matcha powder online. Hopefully they'd come soon and I can practice again before going for the intermediate class =) Somehow, I felt inspired to enrich my life of late. Went for a fondant-decorated cupcake session yesterday night at the Little House of Dreams (Clarke Quay). It was nice and satisfying. The cake mixture was unlike those out there which consisted mainly of flour. (Never really liked those) This one was a milk-dominant mixture and the outcome was comfortably chewy, lightly sticky and fragrant with milky goodness :D The decorating part was fun too. Learnt how to work with fondant. I'm looking forward to working out more of my own designs! Next foody projects: 1) Cake Pops! Will probably pop over to J's to work out them out together. Aint too sure where I can get frosting from or how I should make them =/ It kinda looks like nutella to me in the videa haha~ 2) Latte Art. Hopefully Nadya would be able to join me! :D |
