Hi the blueberry cheese cake class was a disaster. The number of participants were just too big....28!!! students to a hands-on class. That reminds me of my home econs class during school days! Worst.....my group got the wrong ingredients into the mixture, as they were not labelled. Could you tell the difference between icing sugar and corn flour when put side by side? If only the teacher herself conducted the class instead of getting another chef...things would be more orderly. Moreover the cake turned out to be just like the ones I use to bake where I got the recipes from internet and books. All you need to do is to bake a plain cheesecake, drizzle some blueberry pie topping and thats it. The only difference is the base is not from digestive biscuits.
Now got to really think twice before attending any baking classes...ensure that its really worth the money......

Tips
Splitting Cake Layers: Split cake by pulling a piece of heavy sewing thread horiontally, back and forth through the cake.
Leftover egg whites can be stored covered in the refrigerator 7 to 10 days. To freeze egg whites, place in a plastic ice cube tray, then remove the frozen cubes to a plastic freezer bag for storage. Thaw frozen whites in the refrigerator.
Over creaming causes the cake to sink when its baked, under creaming gives a stiff textured cake
Perfect Buttercream Icing: Beat the mixture for long enough. Aim to beat it for several minutes until it is very smooth and creamy. Ensure that icing sugar is sifted (perferably twice) .
