my friends and i bought a discount voucher for a 6 hour decorating and baking course.
i didnt pay attention to the 6 hour bit =\
soo the first few hours we made macarons
it was cool that we got to mix any colour we wanted :D
i picked a blue while my gfs picked a red.
they looked awesome when they were resting before baking
our first 2 trays were overcooked :( burnt and brown.. and wayyy too hard
we watched our other trays more closely so they wouldnt overcook
the vivid colours faded during baking also :(
my overcooked blue ones on the left
the overcooked red ones on the right.. turned a brown orange.. i said it looks like abalone :P
a better batch.. still faded to a greenish but better :)
my greenish macarons with different fillings
peach filling is cream cheese icing
purple is butter cream icing
brown is the choc ganache
next we received trays of ready made normal cupcakes for decorating :D
we learnt how to pipe icing and decorate with sprinkles
how cute are the sprinkles.. theres stars n hearts.. n metalic balls
next we learnt to use fondant icing..
they had premade balls in different colours for us to use
i prefer playing with the fondant.. so much more easier to roll out
and use the cookie cutters
i marbled white n blue together too :D
my gfs made some pretty cute designs too for their fondants
for valentines day
cute monkey
amazing weave
we ended up with a box of cupcakes each as well as a few edible macarons
my box.. i had to take one out to fit the little one in :P
my friends boxes
it was a long day.. but still enjoyable :)
we had a short dinner break between as well.
not bad for $70
