Hafiz's 24th Birthday



Happy Birthday Hafiz!!!!!! Papa, mama and adek wish you success and happiness, and we pray that your wishes will come thru'.


Here's the cake that Hafiz specially requested for his birthday....Sponge Cake layered with Fresh Cream and topped with Peaches....yummy!! We will soon taste the goodness when our pizza arrive.

Attended second lesson of Cake Decorating class. Very interesting and really fun. Making flowers from gum paste is like playing with clay. The beautiful roses and daisies just need a little patience and confidence. Covering cakes with rolled fondant can be easy if you know the tactics. Will post pictures of my decorated cakes upon completion of the class in another 3 weeks time. Oh yes, having the correct tools help, and by attending classes you'll learn better. Thanks Katherine, you're a wonderful teacher!

Friends have requested fo some recipes in my blog. Yes,,,,yes.. i must find time to write. Will love to share, cos when friends make an effort to try the recipes with great success, its an achivement! If not successful, we will all share and learn from mistakes.

Have you seen the pics of decorative cupcakes? They are lovely to look at and you just cannot bear to eat them!!!

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) .
