January 2014- Week 2

ORGANIZATION SKILLS
This week was actually very effective. I spent a lot of time working on cake three and managed to finish it. Though however, the rainy season has again created humidity that prevented me in being productive. I know I could have done so much more if there were no rain. Nevertheless, I still managed to cover my Indonesian cake with fondant, and planning on finishing it by Thursday next week.
COMMUNICATION WITH SUPERVISOR
This week, the whole grade had the PP essay meeting. I didn’t communicate with Mr. Pat directly, but I remembered that he said to ask Mrs. Rebecca whether or not I should bring my products on the due date this month. Mrs. Rebecca said that I only have to bring one cake kept in the glass (the wedding cake) and have the other cakes brought to school during the exhibition. This said, I have to only take pictures of the rest of my cakes to be shown to Mr. Pat.
INFORMATION

As mentioned earlier, I managed to finish my third cake. The process of cake three went pretty smoothly. I covered each tier with white fondant first. Then, I took my royal icing that I made previously, thawed and rewhipped it to the right consistency. I piped some pattern based on the lace, but not brushing it off as I firstly planned to do it because everyone said that for this cake, it is better to leave the piping detailed that way. Cutting the fondant silhouettes was not hard as well, and I finished them in one night. I stuck the pieces onto the cake, and made some pearls to be put around the tiers. Finally, I brushed off some glitter to the pearls to leave off that ‘fairytale’ and ‘magical’ sense to the cake
