CHOCOLATE CLASS ON 11th DECEMBER

Our homemade chocolate class had a very favourable respond from students who wanted to learn the art of chocolate making. There were a few last minute request from students to join our class and it was very diffcult for me not to accept them.Anyway 14 very energetic and enthusiastic ladies attended our chocolate class - Fauziah, Noriza, Hajah Azizah, Salasiah, Mei, Zanariah, Suriati, Azura, Hazwain (from Singapore), Ain, Kak Mah, Molly, Hajar and NorHafizah. They were introduced to the different types of chocolate and how to temper couverture chocolate. They were taught to make praline fillings and and tips on how to achieve a shiny chocolate was also given. They were also taught to make chocolate peanut butter cups(something similar to Reese peanut cups) and also homemade Ferrero Rocher.

CREATIVE CUPCAKE CLASS ON 4th DECEMBER

Our Creative Cupcake class was attended by 10 talented and very creative minded ladies, namely Noriza, Shahrom, Molly, Yulia, Marina, Zanariah, Kak Mah, Teoh Ling Ling, Niza and Nana. They were taught to make our easy peasy ultra moist chocolate cupcakes and very yummy and less sweet/shortening buttercream. This buttercream is very versatile and can be enhanced with any fruit puree/filling to make it not only tasty but also healthy.... I made some research (and experiments) to come up with a buttercream which is not loaded in trans fat and icing sugar. I always feel guilty when I see people, expecially young children eating the frosting on their cakes as these frosting or icing is loaded with artery clogging shortening and icing sugar which rises the blood sugar. As a health conscious person, I always tend to shy away from cakes and pastries which are loaded with trans fat and sickly sweet sugar. Sometimes I make alterations in my recipes to make them healthy so that we can indulge in desserts without worrying about the calories.

I must also convey my heartfelt thanks to Noriza, Shahrom, Kak Mah, Marina, Zanariah, Yulia and Molly for their continuous support.I feel happy and contend when my students return for more classes as it shows their unyielding trust & faith that they have for my teaching. For these reasons, I will perodically upgrade my knowledge in baking and decorating so that I can give the best for my students.
