I'm very new in "Cake Decorating" world.
That's why I decided to sign up for a cake decorating class at the Bake It YourSelf.
"Wilton Method of Cake Decorating Course 1" was the course name, and it's provided into four sessions, conducted on Saturday afternoon (2.5 hours for each of the session), at a bakery shop house (Bake it Your Self) in 182 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore. The course fee is $270 (student starter kit and book are inclusive). And the instructor's name was: Katerine Kok.
I enjoyed the class.. although felt quite tough as we should accomplished some home works which is so challenging for a starter student like us, i.e.: to bring a cake covered with butter cream as the based cake for the decorating hands on in the class. I can tell you that covering the cake is not an easy job at all. The way you hold the spatula, they way you smooth up the surface, to avoid the bread crumbs come out, haizzz.. ^^
The other thing that we need to prepare was butter cream with appropriate consistencies: stiff, medium or thin. With regards butter cream, Teacher Katerine mentioned that try to use icing sugar without corn starch, meanwhile icing sugars in the market all are with corn starch. And what I did was: came back to the B-I-Y shop at Bukit Timah Road (from my office in Ang Mo Kio, during lunch time).. just to buy a pax of icing sugar..^^ as I wanted to have a perfect cake/ icing for my final project decorated cake.

But overall I can say that I really enjoyed the course and glad with the fruits that I got from the class.
I know about cake decorating basic now.. and become more confident as a baker. :)
