Lets try this one more time....

Its that time again.. procrastination and sheer boredom have again forced me to turn to the wise worldly web .... After poring through countless pages on pinterest and being told by my husband... MT that I'm living in an alternate universe .. namely cake world.. Its time to wield the baton again .. or to be more precise indulge in more culinary adventures as well as some more things ... This blog was always the pursuit of happinings so.. lets start afresh....
Coming up... Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies ... From Nestle Toll house dough.. Too Nice not to be shared.. so they're on their way to my friends house...
Halloween costumes for mini-me and the Halloween Party
My attempts to engage her in some scheduled activities based on some books form the library
Update on my reading list from the Library
My Zumba experiences
Finally trying to lose weight and how I go through navigating it with some great eats of my own and my Progress through it
New things that the baby Does .....
Phew.....
See you on the other side....

Class Two

Class Two n the cake decorating course was a blast... It was fun.. We had to take one cake.. Which the instructor helped me to ice and ts about transferring a pattern onto a cake using piping gel.. Pretty Nifty. I tried a Bird as my Tot is quite fond of the words....
So all you need to do is
1. Decide on a deisgn and cover the deisgn with wax paper. Tape it so it stays put... Word of warning.. It works on the mirror effect so if u want a particular direction of if u have words.. Put the picture in reverse.
2. Trace the design using piping gel mixed with a colour onto wax paper
3. Once ur buttercream is set .. Put the wax paper piping gel side  down onto the cake and using a plin brush.. lightly brush the pattern
4. Pray.. Peel off pattern slowly and Voila...
5.Pipe as desired ....
Enjoy

U can also transfer more complex pictures using buttercream transfers ... More on that later
