Flavors Studio

Hi there!

It’s been a while since I made my last post. Thanks for visiting my blog all the while^^..

We are excited to announce that Caramel Factory will be changing its name to Flavors Studio from October 2017 onwards. We will be providing various types of baking courses so that you can learn baking more structurally and intensively with us. We also provide classes for young students between age 10-16yrs called Junior Patissier. Starting young is always good! Our goal is to provide the training and guidance for both beginners who are interested in pursuing a career in baking and professionals who want to increase their knowledge base in pastry arts.

 

 

Just as our previous Caramel Factory, our focus is on Japanese-French influenced pastries that come from a long tradition of delicate, refined and sensuous tasting pastries that have been a staple of Japan culture. I believe it is quite unique from the pastries you can find in Malaysia.

 

We also provide Season Special class, which is a 1 day class, where students can enjoy the seasonal sweets in a fun environment. Our upcoming class in October is “Halloween Special Class” for Junior Patissier (10-16yrs) and we will be baking Halloween style cakes! We will update the photos in our website, facebook and blog soon.

For the details of our course and class schedule, kindly refer to our Flavors Studio Website. For registration, kindly email us at info@flavors-studio.com.

Thank you so much for all your support and we hope to see you in the class!

Cheers,

Tomoko

Hari Raya Baking*

 

I hope you are all doing well^^.

Hari Raya celebration is still going, and we also baked macarons and other cakes during the festive period! The flavours are Belgium chocoalte, Caramel, Japanese green tea, Raspberry ganache and Vanilla macarons. Macaron making can be quite tedious and time-consuming, but it’s also fun to make and it feels accomplished when they are ready on a tray like this!

 

 

I also baked Japanese Cookie choux for some event. Both children and adults liked this cream puffs very much. I hope to bake them again soon!

 

Cheers,

Tomoko

Selamat Hari Raya!
