Teacher's Day Cake again

Hi viewers, I think all the teachers in Malaysia still in the Teacher's Day mood.  Why did I say so?  Until now, I still received goodies from my beloved students and ordered for the cakes. 
This cake was ordered by Hanisah for her daughter's teacher.  It was a kg of Kiwi sponge cake with vanilla fresh cream.
Since it was a last minute order, so the decoration was slightly simple but the taste was absolutely gorgeous.

Happy Teacher's Day

My beautiful headmistress,Pn Rohaidah with four dedicated senior assistant teachers, Pn Shikin, Pn Asnah and Pn Mimi were ready to cut the cakes.

This is my 3rd year of celebrating the Teacher's Day in S.K Kota Warisan.  We really had great time with all the activities created by the teachers to the teachers as to show our talents to the pupils and built up great relationships among the colleagues.

This year I made three cakes, two big cakes of 2kgs and a kg of chocolate cake for Ayu, my friend.  I made a Pandan Cake and American Chocolate Cake (which was ordered by Pn Rabiah, the bookshop owner in 2009).

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY to all the teachers in Malaysia.

How to decorate Spongebob Cake

 Hi viewers.  Happy Worker's Day all throughout the world.
Today, I'm going to share on how to decorate Spongebob Cake using orange sponge cake.  Firstly, all you need are a kg of orange sponge cake and some whipping cream with orange flavour.  You can see how the whipping cream was beaten for 8 minutes to get the soft peak like this.

The whipping cream was ready to be spread on the cake.

The sponge cake was cut into 3 layers.

Spread the first layer with the cream.

Spread the second layer with the cream too.

The cake was fully decorated with the cream.

I drew the image using chocolate ganache.

Then started to fill in the image with more colours using buttercream icing.

This cake was ordered by Rosmawati for her daughter's teachers at SK Kota Warisan's pre- school.

Have a nice holiday.

Chocolate Ganache Recipe

Hi everybody, as I promised before, hereby I share my recipe of Chocolate ganache which suist to decorate my chocolate cake.

Ganache is from French is a glaze, icing or filling for pastries made from chocolate and cream.  Its origins date to around 1850, when it was invented in either Switzerland or France.  Ganache is normally made by heating heavy/double cream. then pouring it over dark semi-sweet chocolate.    Here are the ingredients:

1 litre of whipping cream (I usually use Emborg brand)

50gm butter

3 tablespoons of golden syrup

1 kg of chocolate cooking

Method:

1.  Firstly, heat the steamer

2.  Pour the whipping cream into another pot and heat it on the steamer.

3.  Add in the golden syrup and the butter.

4.  When you see the butter had melt, put in the chopped chocolate.

5.  Turn off the stove and keep on stirring the chocolate until it is fine.

The ratio of chocolate to cream is varied to obtain the desired consistency. Typically, two parts chocolate to one part cream are used for filling cakes , while one to one is commonly used as a glaze. Cooled ganache can be whipped to increase volume and spread to cover a cake.
