Preliminary Round - Obtained!

Two months back, I started with the cake decoration course in BITC. For twice a week, eight weeks, rain or shine, happy or sad, energetic or tired, I went to the class. The class was 6.30pm to 10pm on Thursdays and Fridays. Going to the classes meant forgoning baking cakes during those evenings. It's an opportunity forgone.

On 18 Jun, it was the last day of the course. For good or for bad, the seven of us made it through. It was a fun bunch of friends to have and know. For the past three lessons, it was just preparation for the sugar plaque, to be presented as our final project work for this course.


I had to bring back some of the royal icing works to do. It seemed that I did very little preparation and planning. :( Got a bit panicky in class while I was assembling my decorations. I was the last to finish my sugar plaque as most of them knew what to do, while I didn't. :( It was a relief to have completed the plaque. Ideas were given to us earlier on how and what to do.



A coursemate, Margaret, made a Raspberry Mousse cake as a graduation celebration for us. She feeds us with her bakes quite often. So far, she has made fruit tarts, brownie, chocolate cheesecake, butter cake and lavender lemon cookies. They're like from bakeries!



This is the wonderful class of Cake Decoration from BITC.


The certificate may be an achievement to some, may be meaningless to others. However, to me, it's just the beginning of the journey to more decorations, practices and endless creativity! I'll be moving on to the Wedding Cake Decoration course. That is why, this is only a preliminary round, it's a pre-requisite to Wedding Cake Decoration.
