lesson

Well, what a fangtastic evening we had yesterday on the Halloween Cupcake Workshop. It was very eerie, and there were definitely some spooky goings-on! At first, some of my students thought I was a tad psychic because when they entered the room, I immediately looked over and called out their...

So we're finally back after the summer break and this evening's lesson is enchanting and all things fairy themed. It is lovely to see familiar faces returning and wonderful to see our new batch of students who are eager to learn. Once we have all the formalities out of the way, I then begin...

We had another great evening again last night and I'm pleased to say that Lydia managed to finish all her cupcakes this time. I do also have to say a very well done to Sue as not only did she arrive early (she originally thought she would be late) she also managed to participate even with a very...

Well hello and welcome back to our classroom write up and oh what fun we had this evening! Tonight was all about monkeying around, and we most certainly did that, I arrived early to set up the room and found that Alister the on-site manager was still there, I hadn't seen him in a while, so it...

This is a picture of the Devil's Food Cake that I made at college last night. I must say it was delicious!

We had a bit of a mix bag of people on this workshop which was great fun; unfortunately, some of my regular ladies couldn't make due to prior commitments although I had prior students and some new recruits, so it shook things up a bit as everybody was at different levels. It was lovely to see...

Our last teaching evening for the end of term was not as hectic as I had imagined it to be and was rather leisurely if I'm honest. When I arrived Linda was already seated and happily pasting royal icing around her Christmas cakes, I think she had about five of them in total. She also had lots...

Yeah! Pastry week this week, my absolute favourite! Last night's lesson was great fun, and we made lots of savoury and sweet goodies! Linda did her demo on hot water crust pastry, and I did a mini demo on the cheese whirls and jam turnovers. Sue brought in her alternative cheese filling which...

Really enjoyed last night's class again. Thought you'd like to see my attempts at finishing the Halloween cupcakes at home. The funny looking black shape is supposed to be a black cat!!! I know ....... but had to have a go, lol. The sticky ginger cake is delicious, so moist and tasty. Sorry...

Halloween Cupcakes - Student Creations We had a thoroughly enjoyable Halloween Workshop on Monday as always; however, I'm going to wait until I have finished tomorrow's Choux and Chocolate Log lesson before the write-ups are posted. Saves me doing two sittings...I don't have enough time for...

So this weeks lesson was all about Sticky Toffee Pudding and a Cake Demonstration, what we got in fact was a totally different story! Linda decided in her wisdom to get ahead of herself and set off for College early and by doing so decided to detour to Country Baskets along the way. What she...

Baby Shower Cupcakes - Student Creations So after the summer break, we were back to business this week with the Baby Shower Cupcake workshop. :D We had all things baby and managed to create some lovely model toppers for the cupcakes which ranged from baby bumps, bottles, to sleeping babyfaces...

Animal Modelling Cupcakes - Student Creations Another great night last night at the Animal Modelling Cupcake Workshop, much fun as usual and lots of learning going on! :D Everyone arrived on time; although Sue couldn't sit still and was doing a circuit of the car park for 20 minutes prior...

Well, I was back teaching again last night and what a night it was....busy doesn't even cover it! :D Barring the fact that the room was like a sauna and the heat was definitely getting to me (I, unfortunately, renamed one of our students Pauline sorry Michelle! :confused:) The creativity and...

Well last night's workshop was not without its drama's, firstly I arrived a little behind schedule, we, unfortunately, had a no show from one of our ladies due to a family emergency and another one of our ladies got lost, so after sending Louise outside to be our tour guide thus getting some...

I would like to say thank you to Jan, Gail, Louise, Kathy and Hazel for attending the Mother's Day Themed Workshop last night. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. :D The creativeness and concentration were most definitely flowing, and I love the fact that the ladies were happy to experiment...
