my first pastry class

yeahyeahyeah !

firday was the day i officially started my first class in taylors.
and it began with pastry class.
started my class on 8am until 11am.
we had to team up in pairs.
and Celes will be my partner for sure. :)
we were asked by chef Shaari to bake a butter cake that day.
we given 15mins to measure and ready those ingredients
and he teached us how to mix butter.. sugar... eggs... and others.
quite complicated. =/
after mixed up everythings into a big mixing bowl,
i compared my mixture with my friends.
and i start wondering.. why mine's so watery hurr ?
i asked chef shaari about that.
Chef / yenwei
: i think you put too many sugar.
: nola. 200grams mah. i measured just now.
: huh ? i think some problem with ur measurement.
: WHAT ? then how ? have to do again ?
: nonit. jus continue with it. and we'll see the product later.
: =.= ... ... *speechless*
after mixing and tossing around, finally setting in a pan and bake it.
while waiting for the cake, we continue with our icing.
i was thought icing will be much better than the base cuz its quite easy actually.
but who knows ? smtg happened again ..
we cant mix our butter completely with the syrup.
omgomgomg. we really dont know what can we do at that moment.
and our chef keep repeating the same things : ' nvm.. wil see the product later ... '
yesh, we have to put everything into the fridge and wait for bout 15 mins.
and here's the products :
mervyn & chung's butter cake. nice right ?
tadaa ! this's celes and my butter cake.
i know its ugly. ><

mixing the butter with egg yolk for icing.


last, cake finally out from the fridge.
this's mervyn and chung's cake.
looked delicious :)
*chiang !* yeah. don laugh !
its my cake. i know its superb ugly !
and i just throw away my cake into dustbin.
how sad. but i already tried my best. :(
i admit smtg wrong with my measurement lahs. ;p
but chef shaari said will let us try again for the next lesson.
hope i will come out with a nice and delicious cake next time :D
