My 1st SG Baking Class






















My perfect swiss roll. I'm so proud of it!


So even, so cute!


The lovely lines which would create the flakiness.




This smelled so good! - hazelnut thin cake, to be used for the layering.


The delicious 'scraps'.



No need to be perfect, it's going to be flattened and smooshed anyway.
*The custard cream was prepared for us. So we just baked the hazelnut cake and did the layering. Our third wheel, the young and scared and by-the-books girl


Our batch of eggtarts


Taken out of the blast freezer for the final icing and decoration



Chocolate - not prepared by us as well.

Not pretty, but presentable (for me)


Cocoa crunch


I think I overdid it. Even my hand got covered with cocoa powder


Our eggtarts!

Can you spot the mini eggtart?


It's burnt! and lost its egg tart shape.



Into the box you go.


Lovely!


Lovely. Again.


The crust was a bit bland, maybe we should've used salted butter. You know, to have the salt (crust) and sweet (egg yolk filling) balance.


Yum yum. It was better after it's chilled in the ref overnight.



This was good, but a tad too sweet. One to two bites are okay, but afterwards, it becomes too jelat.


Almost everyone in the office liked the egg tart, but found the cake too sweet.


Burnt top, just the way I like it.

SGD42+ for the class. Inclusive of the ingredients, and the boxes for the take-away.

It's super worth it. I had fun! Although it was tiring. We were there from 7pm to almost 11:30pm. Ack.


It's 2-3 per group.

So it was me and my friend and a young girl (I assumed based on her actions, because she's too scared to make mistakes).


I weighed some sugar. The container on top of the weighing machine already weighed 50 grams , and we needed 50 grams of sugar. So I was putting sugar onto the container and waiting for it to reach 100 grams. She saw 100 grams and nearly freaked out. Hello, 100- 50 grams for the container = 50 grams of sugar. Sigh.


All in all, it balanced out in the end. She easily freaked out, but whenever we needed something, she'd raise her hand and look for the chef for answers.
