Teaching Fondant Modeling

DL had been great in boosting my confidence in cupcake baking. She rekindled my dream of making baking my 2nd career. 1st, she asked if I was keen to bake cupcakes for her friends' bridal shower. I back out for fear of ruining the happy occasion. Then she asked if I am willing to teach her BS girls on cupcake making. After procrastinating and her chasing me for many times, I finally put my heart into it and decided on the date to do so.

We decided that cupcakes baking is probably too boring for the girls. They are afterall 14 years old, full of energy and cannot sit still. Who at 14 years old wants to learn how to bake? I still remember how I dislike going for Home Econs class when I was 14. The stupid cloth hat that we had to wear on our head, making us look like some dutch lady milk maid just made things worse. Hohoho.

So, DL + a friend met me in the morning at my place to bake the cakes + prepare the butter cream. Poor her, she had to take the MRT from Eunos all the way to Pionner. We then brought the prepared cupcakes to T-junction to meet her 4 BS girls + other labourer.

I was intro as the "super-senior". -.o" I feel so old lor. But truth be told, I am that old loh. They werent even born when I left SHSS. To push it further, if I had given birth at 17 years old, my child would be as old as them liao. Hohoho. Anyway, regardless of how old I am, I am so glad that I will always be one year younger than DL. Hohoho.

Back to the baking, her BS girls were really quiet initially. After all the messing around, they started laughing and joking and opening up. Just like any other ladies who tried their hands at fondant modeling, they ended up dressing their cupcakes no end, or what Daddy Lim referred to as "overkill". Haha. I had to keep rushing the girls bcos they can just keep adding flowers and decorations to their cupcakes. We will never move on then.

A closer look of the cakes. It is supposed to be garden theme, we made a dog, a bee and a rabbit.
I had to rush off to fetch the baby, but I heard from DL that the girls enjoyed themselves and were super proud of their creation. DL brought her cakes to some fellowship after that and even received many praises. Hohoho, my head just grew bigger. Anybody wants to exchange free cupcakes for babysitting services?
