Intermediate Baking Class

In comparison to Beginner Baking Class, my memory of the Intermediate Baking Class is not that clear... perhaps there was too much information coming in and too much things to do. Many of the recipes taught were also not my favourite...

I shall do a short summary of the cakes learnt during these classes:

Lesson 1 (29 March 2009):

The chocolate cake & ganache covering this cake was yummy... but I didn't like the pecan icing which was the filling.

And another item baked during this lesson...

We overwhipped the egg white and the Loaf cake turned out to be quite soggy... but still nice... :)

Lesson 2 (5 April 2009):

I destroyed the sponge cake by pouring it out from the container when I realised that I did not add baking powder... notice the super flat sponge layers. Anyway, the mousse did not taste nice.. maybe we did not cook it well...

Lesson 3 (12 April 2009):


Choconana cake was quite good. The pistachio sponge cake itself was good but the buttercream had a weird taste which not everyone can accept...

Lesson 4 (19 April 2009):

Notice the extremely nice cake made by my teacher on the top right hand corner... Beautiful! :)

Hopefully after I update all my 'overdue' baked items, I will be able to blog in detail to share the recipes and to remind myself of each baking experience.
