Bake with Kuali at MIB

 Kuali was having a " Bake With Kuali" workshop for six months from Jan till June. Luckily I was able to attend the last workshop for this year. The workshop was held in Malaysian Institute of Baking (MIB) on 18th June. We were taught how to make Pizzas from scratch, Almond Cake and Almond chocolate cookies.


Upon arrival we were give a goodies bag with a apron, hat, pen, paper, MIB booklet and recipe booklet. We were assembled into a conference hall and there was a hour of theory class on how to bake the recipes. Then we were asked to go downstairs and form a group of 4. Each group had to bake all the three recipes from scratch. While we were waiting for our cakes and pizzas to be baked we were given refreshment which consisited of Pizza Bread, Chicken Lasanya, Tea and Coffee.

Here are some pictures of the fun filled day...............

At the end of the workshop we all got to take home two personal pizzas which we made, a bag of biscuits and 6pcs of Almond mini cakes.

A wonderful and memorable day and I hope Kuali will be conduting such workshops again next year. :)

I Completed my PME Dipoloma in Sugarpaste in Feb 2011 from Artisan Cake Craft. We learnt a lot of new types of decorating techniques with Sugarpaste. Each cake we were made to cover a cake/dummy with sugarpaste and do specific designs.

Day 1 was mostly theory and we learnt to us our tools and cutter. we learnt about Inlay and Outlay, how to use Crimpers, creative plaques etc......


Day 2 of Class, we were asked to cover a butter cake with sugarpaste and decorate with Garrett Frills on the Side. We also had to make our own Romantic Bear Couple.

This is how my cake turned out ......

It was a mad dash on that day. I had selected Ivory and Gold theme Cake. The cake was covered with Ivory sugar paste and I did Corolli Lace design on the sides.
