Last baking lesson, & pawn changi tonight !

Played overnight mahjong.... damn shag! till 7am! but i still had to go for baking lessons later on, so i didnt get to sleep much! & i have to do this now...
In preparation for my last lesson, i had to ice my own cake first! first i get a ready made cake for only $1.95 from sheng siong! It's really convenient, & it didnt taste that bad, so it'll make a good cake for birthdays! only if u wanna make everything by hand! HAHAHA.

then i coloured the icing...PURPLE! cause this was intended as a surprise gift for Kai wei's belated birthday. AHAHHA.
then u spread it over, in chunks! and you rotate the cake around! & there you go! i'm not that skilled so that explains the edgy edge. furthermore, my icing wasnt' of the right consistency. It should be thicker!

Leave it to crust. & because it was too watery, i had to put it inside the fridge for it to crust.
so we are there.... we had to decorate our own cake & we learnt how to do the ribbon rose on our last lesson! (:
Allyson was so nice to teach us how to do the Wilton rose too! it's the one with more petals! it looks so awesome!

& this is my cake! yay! hope Kai Wei liked it! & it's not meant for her to eat, just to see see only. cause the cake expires the following day! HAHAHAS!
& this was Carmen's cake! i drew the cute piggy, & that's patrick ng. LOL.
Some other very lovely decorations done by the others..... it wasn't the best of our creativity, & the pictures didn't do us much justice. We had so little time to decorate! so i guess this is the best we could do in such a limited time




& we took one last shot with Allyson. She has been a very patient & lovely teacher! (:
& a group shot.
& in the afternoon, hwee kiat drove me to eat my long-craved for Bakutteh! I keep forgetting to take down their address/store name. so you guys could go try some other time. it's pretty good! & if you drive, it's free parking. it's in Katong. somewhere near Katong Mall (& it's under renovation btw)
Have i told you how much i love the life here at the East side?! almost every weekend i get to go out with bf's buddies & roam around the place for supper, mahjong & chilling sessions!

HAHA. this shot is damn kuku. we were playing veggie samurai on the ipad, until we got chased away by the staff there saying that we have to buy their stuff if we wanna play on their ipad. WTH. LOL.
settled for Swensens after much deliberation. it was a pain choosing the place because Yuxiang insisted on TCC, some didnt wanna go far, some didnt wanna eat 'high-class' food. HAHAHA. so we settled for this. convenient, & not so "HIGH-CLASS"!

Yuxiang's such a lamb! he's always happily posing for my camera (:
spot the camoflaged 'Starbucks'. HAHAHA!

I'm sorry, but i really hate starbucks! COFFEE BEAN ROCKS!
& by the way, just so you know, Yu xiang is really a CAM WHORE! lol. super hilarious!
& he likes the superman effect here. WTH. lol!

3rd Wilton Method Baking class & sup!

This is my 3rd Wilton Method Buttercream decorating class! & we learned how to do the shell shape & leaves!
we also did this flower thingy!
& this is called the shaggy mums! :D can also be used to do the grass!
Thereafter, darling & i craved for the assam fish head again! so we went ahead to have a feast! the Assam fish head is really good, fresh & only $16! for alot of meat! NICE!
Supper at night at East Coast Park with the gang. Munched on Beef Chiili Cheese fries & it was godlike. (:

I went for a Monster Kill, getting a new high score on Veggie Samurai (: YAY! hahaha!

Sad is the other word for busy

Found out that my iphone is spoilt! & after much frustration & an hour ont he phone with the Singtel iphone technical support, i decided to head down to apple care by Singtel to fix the problem.

In the end, after they verified the problem, i get a whole new set! YAY! & it works perfectly fine!& so, darling & i went to Marche! YAY!
rosti is all-time favourite (:
& darling got this mushroom soup! it's so not nice. LOL.
but the very good ambience helps in every way (:
then went over to phoon huat to get my baking stuff! There's a phoon huat in marsiling blk 302! how good, how good!

2ND Wilton Method Buttercream Baking lesson! & midnight excursion again!

Was late for baking class already, but i was so hungry so i had Mc Wings on the car! & i realised that Macdonalds came up with new toys! it sure enticed me but i decided not to get any toys in the future! they're a total waste of money, & i'm pretty sure after i get it, i'll just put it aside & throw it away like 1 year later. So after much careful consideration, i shall not get any toys anymore!

& beside Bake-It-Yourself, where i have my baking classes, there's this car shop where they sell all the high-end + antique cars! & we laughed at how sports cars used to be like the red Ferarri, with the lights that will come out of the head of the car. HAHAS!
Today, i get to ice my own cake! See! I iced it pretty good!
& i learnt how to do the wave lines, drop & elongated drop.
Using piping gel to transfer drawings!
Carmen's look better! the rest not tagged with Carmen's name is mine! i went to do an extra stroke of purple in the middle lane. SO UGLY! :/
i went home to do mini drops around the cake! LOOKS SO MUCH CUTER (: I wish i had more colours though.
After baking lessons, darling picked me up & we went to Nihon Mura for super cheap sushi! the sushi plates here costs only $0.99 each!
& What's so awesome here is that they serve Duck sushi! the smoked duck is sooooo freaking nice! (: Something to try out. This Nihon Mura is located at Paya Lebar's Singapore Post Centre. Usually there's no crowd so i love to come here. (:
I couldn't sleep well again, so as usual, i pestered darling to bring me out. This time, we were more adventurous to go somewhere further! To our surprise, Holland Village is much nearer to Eunos than expected! only took us probably 15 mins to get there :D

& there's a 24-hour COFFEE BEAN. YAY!
I LOVE HOW THEY DISPLAYED ALL THE SPICE & SAUCES. & i have the habit of not leaving anywhere empty handed, we got ourselves a drink & jellyfish. HAHAS.

what a shame the Crystal Jade which specialises in Xiao Long Bao here ran out of Xiao Long Bao.

THE CARPARK CAME UP TO $7 ++ for only 2.5 hours. WTF. DAMN EX! RIP OFF!

nevertheless, i loved the midnight excursion with my darling (:

my first Wilton buttercream icing class

I went for my baking class for the very first time! This place was introduced by Carmen & so i decided to go for classes with her. (:
so for the first lesson, we were taught how to make the icing & how to ice the cake! see this is so awesome!
As we have yet to learn how to make the icing, we bought the Wilton White Decorator Icing & coloured them!

& we learnt how to use the tip 18 to do these pretty star shapes, how convenient using a coupler is so that we can change tips without changing our filled icing bags.

Tip for doing the star: release pressure before pulling the icing off to not get that 'sharp tip'
we also learnt how to use piping gel to transfe pictures onto the cake! so fun!
our first lesson came with this starter pack with couplers, icing bags, practise board with templates to teach us how to do the various decorations & standard/common shapes!
at night, my darling was so awesome! he bought me this mini monopoly keychain with real game pieces consisting of 2 dices & a metal dog & wagon (i think)! this is awfully cute! however in the packaging it promised a bag of money however i was pretty disappointed that they did not deliver it.

HOW CAN THEY DO THAT. i would have bought something else that i can really play with! :/, like a mini twister.

therefore,in order to appease me from the scam purchase (ya i like it but not totally...), we went to Geylang Lorong 9 to have our usual dose of Frog porridge! Yummy! i like it better with dried chilli, somehow anything with chilli tastes better. :D
