JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN

PART 2: WILL CURIOSITY KILL THE CAT?

Salam and hi,

So sorry I didn't update this blog last night. Was caught up in a few conversations with clients. So here I am early in the morning, writing down my thoughts.

I had a few friends congratulating me over last few days. Why? Well.. they seemed to think that TDT is on the verge of success... hmmm..I never thought of that. I always thought that TDT is not there yet. Maybe I should change my views... maybe I should start measuring incremental success. But in any case, all praise should go to Almighty Allah, Alhamdulillah...

Azman hard at work. I believe he's got what it takes to make it in this industry.

Maybe this thing has everything to do with that quote 'where you are today depended on what you did 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 years ago or maybe even less than that'. You believe that? I do. So maybe where TDT is today was based on what I did a few months back.. or years ago.. hmmm   I should reflect on that...

Fondant for Beginner

Salam and Hi,

MasyaAllah, what a month! Alhamdulillah March 2012 had been a very busy month. I hope and pray that April will be even more. 

On Monday we had a private Dessert Series Class where we baked Fudgy Brownies and Pavlova with Ms Ling. I forgot to snap any pix coz after class we conitnued with prep work for next day class. 

And the final class we had for March was the Basic Fondant Class for Beginners. We had Ms Ling (again :), thanks!), Pn Nina and Ms Winnie Leong, towkey D'Clay and the class was havoc! OMG! 

Plenty of laughter and teasing throughout the class and the results are like below: All of them went for different designs...havoc!

Anyways, through this basic class, we take you through the basic of baking a good butter cake and delicious icing. Everyone left the class with more knowledge on each ingredients involved in baking a good and delicious butter cake. When I first learnt the basics with Chef Fatima, she walked me through each ingredients and how they react to treatments and to one another. So I felt it's important also for those who attends my class to know the same thing.

Through this class, beginners will also learnt how to manipulate fondants to cover cakes and to make simple decorations.
