Eeeekk!


Last week i had the chance to attend a 2 days cake decoration class.

A demo class and also a hands on class.

It was pretty fruitful. Now i know how to pipe rose already *yipee* and of course, smoothen fresh cream on the cake without struggles anymore *i hope i still could!* :P

However, it was an eye opening to me..

In what sense you wonder...

Well, it's behind the kitchen scene.

I don't think i can look at the cakes on display in the bakery in the same wow thought anymore. When i see how the decoration was being done, i was like, or rather we were like.. gowd, i'm so not gonna eat that cake! You sure it's edible?

The fresh cream they use and the chocolate.. hmm... can be quite not hygienic. It was the re-use part that gave us the scare. You should see the chocolate box man.. *faintssss*

It really makes one think twice before buying from bakeries in the future. So geli!

However, because of the class, i got to know 4 very nice lady. It was greaaaatt meeting them ; Elyn, xan, siti and zu.

They made the class so much more fun than it was :D

Hi Elyn!

Yeah yeah! Aiyo.. gross hor! But i ate my own cake though albeit i told myself not too!

Imp : Hmm.. i am not sure about hotel's bakeries though. But i think i can confirm for those 'normal' bakeries, this is the way they do it - Re-use! Be it(the cream/choc) on the table, the turn table etc, just scoop clean with knife (yes, knife! So everything will be scoooped up including things that aren't supposed to) and dump it back.
