French Culinary Day 4 - Cupcake Toppings

Heart macaroons. I used to think macaroons only come in round shapes... Actually, it can be shaped in anyway we like it to be.... It is such pretty little things!

I wish it is not so sweet. Would enjoy it a lot better!


The making of marzipan roses & bunnies. It is very similar to fondant. Only that it has more almond and it is harder. Adding a bit of heat using simple techniques such as rubbing of our hands helps to make it a lot easier to work with marzipan. Some people find marzipan nicer to eat. But for me, a person we don't like the smell of almond, would prefer fondant anyday!

Add some orange colouring & we can form carrots! Add some green colouring, we get carrot's green... Add some royal icing and choc, we get eyes for the bunnies! I do feel that the roses using marzipan is a lot easier than using fondant... or maybe i'm just very bad with fondant!

Using ciggarette dough to make butterflies! So much fun.... seriously! Adding the colour bit by bit each sides and voila! We get a mixed colour butterfly... like tie & dye. We can do any shape at all with it! Just cut the shape out using a thick cardboard and it's done! The best part is... it tastes really yummy.. really really good. Thin, tasty & crispy.

Us students giving the ciggarette dough a go... Really enjoyed doing them...
