Assalamualaikum and hi friends of TDT,

How have you been? Been making the famous Durian Crepe lately? hahahaha... My friend Zalina of Bzee, she did a lot of people a lot of good by teaching this recipe.

Shabby Chic Inspired Cake Design Class - 12-13th Nov 2012

While preparing our Shabby Chic Inspired Cake Design Class on the 5-6th Oct, I saw an offer on the FB newsfeed by Chef Amer that MITI/Insken will be sponsoring lucky participants a 5-day all expenses paid for Chocolate & Chocolate Decorations Course with Chef Amer in Alor Setar. Woohoo! I tried my luck and sent in my name. I didnt think much about it till I got a forwarded email from Chef asking me to go and register myself 8.30 am for the class on Monday morning! Wohoooo..alhamdulillah..rezeki rezeki..Allah Maha Kaya dan memberi rezeki kepada sesiapa yg dikehendaki Nya. Many thanks to MITI/INSKEN for organising such a wonderful class! And huge thanks and kudos to Chef Amer for sharing with us knowledge on Chocolates. I'm in love with making chocolate! So sedap!!!! The class was a huge success and havoc! Sangat kecoh!

It was a tough course. We we drilled by Chef for 5 days straight from 8.30am till 10.30pm everyday. Tough! really tough and tiring but oh my did we have fun! We were smelling, tasting and munching on dark, milk and bitter chocolates and were high on sugar all the time. Giggling and laughing..oh my, we kept running to the loo, not to mention the seminar room was really cold, to the bones! Chef really tickled everyone's funny bones, and I think he really touched everyone's heart with his wit, generosity and deep pride & knowledge in what he does. He is after all the Master Chocolatier people. What a lucky bunch we were.

Cant resist taking a shot at the chocolate buttons.

Chef Amer

Chocolate melter, I'd love to have these babies. Any sponsors? hahaha

No serious faces in these class..chocolate high..we were laughing, smiling and giggling throughout the 5 days. I miss  the kecohness.

MITI/INSKEN rep. Pn Atasha from Putrajaya

Presentation time on the first night. Marketing our chocolate products. Hilarious!

Candid camera!

We made these babies, delicious babies..

And these

These Crunchies are my favorite!

Awesome! I'll be making these Crunches for Raya Haji insyallah :)

We made all of these. Everyone had a box of these babies. OMG so delicious!

Alhamdulillah.. I was always curious how they do this chocolate box, and now we know :)

I shoot so many photos but these are the fews that I manage to edit and upload. The rest I'll keep for my own collection.

Came back and no rest for me though I was dead tired. Next day was Bread Class with Mamazieza Hassan. It was quite a full class :)..delicious bread dough smell wafted through TDT in the morning and by afternoon the  was filled by heady smell of bread baking in the oven. 

Mama in action! 

Roti gebu! Sedap gila..cair dalam mulut.

Roti naik Johor

Sausage buns, Zaim goes googoogaagaa

Mexican Bread, seems to dissipate into thin air in a few minutes..LOL!

We made a total of 7 types of breads from 3 types of dough. Everyone was excited and happy to bring back so many breads for dinner and breakfast...

And then the next day, TDT had Chef Amer in the house for KELAS KEK KOMERSIAL. Havoc sekali lagi...during class, we negotiated more classes with Chef and got 29th & 30th Dec for more classes with different recipes (see above for class info).

Wow! What a week! Full blast! I wanted to take Monday off so I stayed at home and posted the class photos and class schedule status on FB. And wow! The phone, ipad and mac all ting tong ting tong at the same time!! The whole day! And I didnt get my off day for next 2 days. Inquiries, bookings, payments and all sorts came my way on Monday and Tuesday. Chef Amer's Classes were fully booked on Monday. So I opened another 6 seats for both classes and the 29th Dec was snapped like hot cakes (no puns intended)..(info at the beginning of this post).

So there you go... sorry for the long post. I'll try to post at regular intervals, if there's time. 

Please do register early for the classes that you're interested in. It's selling like hot cakes. Follow me on The Dessert Table  FB page coz we have offers on classes from time to time.

There'll be Chocolate Classes starting from February next year. So keep checking the FB ( for faster update) or this blog (I cant guarantee if seats are available by the time I post here.)

Next few days will be spent on class plan for next year. And I'm excited! 

I pray that all of us, you and me, be given rezeki yang halal dan melimpah ruah. Amin.

Till then, you take care.

Love,

Farida Ismail

Totally awesome, though they were a bit scared of what might come their way... hahaha..I had complete confident in these two ladies, Maza & Nina. And Maza did all those work while having flu...poor girl. Syafakillah..may Allah grant you shifa, ameen.

Brush Embroidery Cake

Salam & Hi,

Last order for the week from Pn Salwa for her dear brother who's getting engaged today..Congrats!

She wanted a stencilled designed cake and I did exactly that, using stencils borrowed from Lyza. But it turned out disastrous! I was horrified!! Not only was the stencil 'leceh' to use coz you have to stick it on the cake and then rub some icing and then take it off after it's dried and then wash the stencil, wipe it dry and redo all the above again, but it looked horrible because of the uneven thickness of icing due to double rubbing coz you just cant control much where the icing starts and ends..anyways! long story short, I recover the cake next morning and did this awesome looking Brush Embroidery instead! Free hand in just under 3 hours! Phewww! Just 1/2 hour before scheduled pick up. I was happy and most importantly Salwa & her twin sister was excited too! 

Brush Embroidery Cake

A single pink rose to add some more sweetness to the cake

What a week! But I loved it, totally awesome to be doing all those cakes. Next week we're having A Peony class and Cake Design Class for Beginners : Shabby Chic Cake. If you haven't already registered with us, please do now. Call me at 013-3554399 anytime from 9 am to 6 pm.

Enjoy your weekend!

Love,

BLACK & GOLD DESSERT TABLE

Assalam & hi,

How have you been? Busy yeah? Well me too, alhamdulillah... :)

A bit of news before that. Sadly, due to some personal issues, Lyza Ghazali has to go back to her own kitchen..boohoohooo... so sad! But hey, we're still tight. We still back each other up, only from different kitchen. Actually, I think that TDT is too small to handle too many cake orders and classes at the same time, so we came up with another arrangement which I think is superb, since we'll still work together... yeay!! We felt like adults.. LOL!!

Anyways, the whole week was filled with class promos and bookings and of course..Dessert Table!

Chef Amer's - Kelas Pembuatan Kek Komersial sold out like hot cakes!! CLASS IS FULL. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANYMORE DEPOSITS. THANKS. If you still do I'll keep it to buy me some nice gumapste tools ..hahahaha...

Mamazieza Hassan's Kelas Meroti - 1 more space available..anyone interested please SMS your name and class name to me ASAP!

And last Saturday, TDT together with an awesome team of Lyza, Siti, Farita came up with a beautiful Gold & Black Themed Dessert Table for a nikah event. Thanks to Sid Haleza for 3 delicious pastries! We'll definitely order again!

The newlyweds were Mohamed Faiq Azim & Maria, congratulations! The event was held in a Masjid in Kelana Jaya..what a cool place to get married. The Wedding Lunch was also held there at noon..nice food!

Anyways, the close families and friends who attended the Akad Nikah were pleasantly surprised when they came for the event. I guess they never expected breakfast would be served in such a stylish do... We loved to hear all the compliments and comments :) Also thumbs-up everywhere :) Alhamdulillah..and of course customers En Asri & Pn Zai, were happy to have such beautiful table for their son and daughter in law... :)
