Oct to Nov 2018: Went back to SCAFA to learn fundamentals of cake decoration. This was indeed a fun set of classes where the aroma of a baked cake kept your spirits up.
Be it butter icing, ganache, fondant or food paint - even our most helter -skelter attempts looked lovely (in our eyes). If baking and meringue took time, cake decor literally takes the cake. Patience is indeed a virtue when you are attempting to decorate and keep your grubby hands away from eating the cake before it gets decorated!
Special thanks to Chef Emily without whose encouragement and good humour the classes would not have been as much fun.
See it to believe!

The cake was demolished by my colleagues at work. It was a pound cake - hard to resist ;-)

The cup cakes were shared with my dance school instructors. A good thing too 'coz it was after the showcase so now they could indulge in the calories ;-)
Food and Joy - shared - only multiplies. Hope my next few attempts are just as tasty and happy!
