Layer Cake

Hi there!!!!!
I can't wait to tell you how my first baking course went.

     My baking courses are on Saturday night. The baking classroom is located in the eastern area of Taipei. At night, there're always many clothes venders on the street. Hence, on the way to the classroom I kept looking around, viewing those many dresses and shoes.
     OK! Go back to the topic. In this class, I wound make layer cakes.That was my first time to enter a professional baking classroom. There were so many machines, gadgets, and appliances which made me want to try right now.
( Look at the machine on the left. Don't you feel excited when you see the electric mixer? No? Maybe you don't have the passion for cooking. haha )
 
      We weighed all the ingrediants first. Here's the ingrediants: flours, sugar, eggs, SP(起泡劑), baking powder, vanilla powder, syrup, and olive oil. After being mixed, the mixture looked so yummy.

( It looks so nice, doesn't it? )
 
     Because this was a layer cake, we had to bake every layer one after another. It took us much time. However, the teacher started to divide various kinds of dessert he had made, such as cookies, fruit cake, MACARONS, TIRAMISU, and coffee cake. How lucky I was!
 
( She is my partner of  the course, Alice.
We all major in Russian. )
 
     The hardest part of the process was to trim the shape of mixture on the baking tray. I had to make its surface flat, or I wound have a strange cake. Of course I had to do this again and again in order to achieve the perfect appearance.

YA~ Finally, we finished six layers.
Here's coming the important part! Slice it! How?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hahaha. With this gadget, we can slice the cake into six pieces precisely. How interesting it is!
 
Finish! My layer cakes
 
 
 
     After this class, I found that I love cooking more than I had imagined. This is my paradise, and I have many passionate classmates. As a result, I am really looking forward to the next class. By the way, I met a Korean girl. We talked about many thing of Taiwan and Korea. I hope that we can become good friends.
 
 
Everybody see you next time!!!

  1. The layer cake looks so good! I really like desserts especially macarons . I used to join the cooking club and the dance club when I was in senior high. In spite of the fact that I love to make desserts by myself, I can’t join the cooking club because of the time of the cooking class. I come from Taichung, so I need to come back to Taichung on the weekends. So maybe you can teach me how to make this marvelous cake and then we can bake it together someday!
