Hi there! Ramadan month is starting. It’s been hot lately… I hope you take good care of yourself and have a good month ahead!

By the way, I will be conducting Raya Special Macaron Class in June. This is Caramel Factory’s signature macarons, using Italian meringue method. We will be making 4 kinds of popular flavours in the class; Japanese Green Tea, Raspberry, Chooclate and Vanilla macarons.

The class will be held hands-on and I will be teaching how to make macarons in details. Macaron making can be quite tricky but if you practice a few times, I guarantee you can make nice macarons successfully even at home!

You can bring these macarons to your seasonal gatherings!

Hi!

Today I am posting May 2017 class schedule ^^. 

Our theme for May is fresh lemon! I will be introducing “Week-end Citron Cake“, a French style lemon butter cake as our new recipe. Week-end Citron originates from people baking this cake on weekends to share with their family members and loved ones. Since May 14th is Mother’s Day, I think it is a great way to celebrate this day^^.

I will also be teaching Tart au Citron and other cakes from April classes. Ramadan month is starting from end of May. Let’s enjoy baking next month again!

January – Basic B Class Menu

12 Jan

When you are asked to choose A or B, which one would you choose? Perhaps people will instinctively choose A. But here is the Menu B!

The menu for January Basic B Class is; Quatre-quart Caramel & Japanese Pudding.

Quatre-quart, meaning one-quarter in French, is a pound cake. This is a basic yet very important cake that can be applied to other kinds of pound cake, muffins, and cupcakes! We will learn this cake in a sugar-batter method, and will put the melting caramel inside.

Another menu is Japanese pudding. I don’t have a picture right now, but this is a smooth and vanilla rich pudding with bittersweet caramel at the bottom.

As you can see, the theme of this class is Caramel. So for those who like caramel, this class should be an attractive one^^.

 

Here are the class schedules and the fee. We only have one more day left, so please email/sms/call me if you are interested in. Thank you!

 

DATE:    January 15th (Sun.) 2:30pm-6:00pm    FULL

                    January 28th (Sat.) 2:30pm-6:00pm

     FEE:       RM180  RM126/class

January – Basic A Class Menu

8 Jan

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my blog.

I’d like to explain more about the cakes you’ll learn in my January classes^^. (Please refer to my previous post for all the classes in January)

First, for January BASIC A Class, the menu is Japanese Souffle Cheesecake & Diamant Vanille.

Japanese Souffle Cheesecake is a soft and fluffy type of classical cheesecake. Honestly speaking, I didn’t know that this type of cheesecake was originally from Japan until I came to Malaysia. Every time I see “Japanese Cheesecake” at the shops, I was wondering Why Japanese? Since this type of cheesecake is quite common in Japan, I thought that they exist all over the world. But then I found out that Japanese invented this cake because we tend to like less heavier & less sweet type of cakes!

You might have tried Souffle Cheesecake / Japanese Cheesecake in some of the shops in KL, but trust me, Caramel Factory version is the best! hehe… As you bite into the cake, you can feel its soft and delicate texture!

Diamant Vanille, meaning diamond in English, is a traditional French iced box sable/cookies. The name came from its look, coated with sparkling sugar. It’s simple to bake yet so delicious! We will use Madagascar vanilla beans and oh, this cookie uses no egg! So it’s friendly for people with egg allergy. Also, this cookie will remain crunchy even after few days.

It will for sure be a perfect item for the coming Chinese New Year gifts!

Here are  the class schedule;

DATE:       January 15th (Sun.) 10:00am-1:30pm FULL

                       January 20th (Fri.)  2:30pm-6:00pm (few more seats available)

                      January 28th (Sat.) 10:00am-1:30pm FULL


We still have some seats, so please contact me by email or sms if you are interested in joining the class!!!
