Cupcake and Cookie Workshop

After the first workshop, I did a second one. This is the Cupcake and Cookie Workshop. Eventually I learned the proper way of ganaching cupcakes and sticking a fondant to it.

First, we need to ganache the cupcake, this is a white chocolate ganache. The reason that we ganache the chocolate was to keep the moisture inside the cupcakes and to prevent the cupcakes to dry out.

This method of ganaching cupcakes with chocolate was actually a better way than buttercream. It is less messy and easier to work with, since the chocolate will set firmly.

Then, it is really up to use what we wanted to do with the cupcakes, we can pipe swirls on top of it in different colours. and if you mess it up, you don't have to worry, since the ganache is already firm, so you can wipe it and re-do it again.

or, you can stick a fondant on it. since the ganache has set already, just brush a little of sugar syrup,and the fondant will stick like stamp to an envelope.

The decoration is up to your imagination, the sky is the limit.

Next, we have to cookie workshop. I don't really have much photos in the cookies workshop. But it was pretty simple, we had to decorated the cake with royal icing, piping techniques and flooding the cookies with royal icing too. Second part of the cookies workshop was decorating the cookies with fondant. here are the photos with fondant.

This one is a mini wedding cookies. Cover the cookies with any fondant with you own choice of colour, stack them together. and put pretty roses or any other flowers on top.

And here are a collection of the cupcake, cookies and the cake that i did in the first workshop

I decided to try this beauty by baking devil's cake in cupcake sizes.

place some cupcake cases in the holes

Pour some cake batter inside, fill up to 3/4 of the paper cases

close the lid, and wait for 10 minutes or 12 minutes.

then open the hood! and voila! heres comes 6 cupcakes baked to perfection.

Move the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool down, and bon appetit.

Lack of Posting

Sorry for the lack of posts these past few weeks.

Since I am not studying in a different country, with a different house hence a different kitchen, I don't have any utensils, mixers, baking pans, oven and mixing bowls etc etc that I am used to. I won't be baking cakes as often as I bake in Jakarta.

However!! My lovely roommates can sense that I miss baking, but don't want to go through the hassle of buying all the utensils and baking pans, they decided to buy me this

for my birthday!

Isn't this the cutest thing?
