What Fun We're Having This Saturday

This is what I've planned this Saturday, for the Wedding Theme Cookie class. It's completely sold out by now and I have 11 students and I do get a little nervous at the start of every class. Who wouldn't?

So, I always make it a point to pre-plan everything.

And guess what, since I've gotten this spankingly new LiveScribe that lets me convert my handwritten pages to digital form, I can share what I've planned for Saturday.

It's gonna be 7 cookies per student instead of the usual 6. A bonus, definitely. Well, I did 6 and at the last batch before I cut the cookies, I found my wedding bell cutter and I could not do a Wedding theme without a wedding bell cookie, now, could I?

So, there you'll have 7 cookies. Yay!

Wedding Cookies Class

*hangs head*

I know this is a bit late, but well, better late than never eh?

Anyhow. This month's class will be on the 25th July 2009, a Saturday and is set to begin at 10:00am until 12:30 pm.

The theme this month will be Wedding Cookies and we'll be doing a lot of tiered-wedding cake, wedding dresses, hearts and stuff like that. Click here to go to Cake Connection and get the other details.

Truthfully speaking, most of my orders are either for weddings or engagements or risik and the likes. And more for wedding favors and hantarans too. So this is like right down my alley. *glee*

But. But. But.

Unfortunately, when I was at the Cake Connection yesterday, I was told that the class has been sold out. In fact, we've had to take in 10 ppl! Wow! I had to pick my jaws off the floor.

I am flattered that I get this chance and that I'm more suprised that the response to the cookies classes have been superbly encouraging.

So, guys .. if you're keen and you're not the early 10, don't fret just yet. We're having this on a monthly basis now and I'll be sure to announce the dates for the future classes, kay!

Till then. Enjoy your weekend.

Wedding Hantaran for Alia

I met up with a tall, lanky girl named Alia a few weeks back after she called me up to ask about the cookies. Her aunt, Farida had ordered the milk bottles for SHAQUILL's birthday as well as MOZZAD's khatam Quran do.

So, she and her glitzy friend Trina poured over the catalogue of pictures I brought while, we the Garties were all hands eating the ketam at Kayu Manis over at Bukit Jelutong.

Here they are, Alia!

She wanted a silver-white theme, a wedding cake a heart monogram.

And I so love the silver, alhamdulillah. It really worked and I was so happy.

The 3-tiered wedding cake in silver and white. Since silver is rather mute, I added tiny daisies with golden yellow centre and leaves just to perk things up a little.

Alia ordered 25 of the cake and the other 25 of the heart monogram.


Just to highlight the silver. I tinted my icing with a drop of black, then a touch of royal blue. Once the flooding is set, I brushed the silver lustre dust mixed with some fresh lemon juice. I used to use a normal bruch which was so ineffective for large areas like this. So, now I got wiser and use a blusher brush, of course a specially reserved for the purpose.

So, Selamat Bertunang, Alia.
