Fondant cake decoration class

I attended the fondant cake decoration class conducted by Guru Jasmin on Saturday morning, 5th June, at Alam Mesra.

As I am not familiar with Alam Mesra area, Clet drove me to find the exact location where the class will be held on Friday evening just to make sure I can drive right there the next day morning.  Glad that we did, I definitely got lost if we hadn't..

I got ready the tools needed for the class the night before.    

Here are the tools, a turning table, ruler, brushes (big & small), pizza cut, small blade, fondant smoother, and

roller pin (prefer the smooth plastic one), apron. small towels, and a cake container.  I baked a cake to bring along too, but it's a bit too short, should have baked a taller cake.  We can either use a tummy cake or real cake.  I prefer a real cake so that we could have a taste of it after that.

You will noticed that my fondant cake is the shortest among all but I am really pleased with the result.  I have learned a lot from the class, thanks to Guru Jasmin for having the class here in KK. 

Crystal & Pearl were very excited to see my fondant cake, they were waiting by the door already when I reached home. We waited till the next day to cut the cake, leave a day for us to admire the beauty of  a fondant cake.

I bought a copy of Guru Jasmin's Sugar Craft book and have her autograph on it too.

Fondant cake decoration class

I am getting ready and very much looking forward to the fondant cake decoration class on the 5th June.  The class is to be conducted by Yasmin from KL, the author of Kraf Gula.  Shall post the update after I have attended the class.

One of the class materials that I need to bring along to the class is the fondant smoother, I got it from Consfood here in Damai, there you will find a lot of fondant making accessories from Wilton.  Products of Wilton is much more expensive because of its brand name, and their varieties, we could find whatever we need for fondant making from Wilton.

A Wilton's fondant smoother costs up to RM30.00++ while an imitated one only costs RM7.00 from Consfood.  I accidentally found the imitated one which was displayed at the inner side of the shop.  After comparing the two, both are more or less the same except the imitated one has got few spelling mistakes on its description. 

 I also bought an assorted Script Message Pattern Press Set to guide me on putting messages on the cake.   This press set is more suitable on fondant cake.
