If you think that I sough a private audience with Martha Stewart, no I didn't. I was at Edsa Shangri-la yesterday for an Exhibitors' Meeting and I spent my time afterwards at Fully Booked. (For those not in the know, Edsa Shangri-la opened a coffee shop called Caf E at the wing fronting Shangri-la Mall. Beside Caf E is Fully Booked.)
Every opportunity I get whenever I pass by a bookstore, I'd immediately go to the Baking section. I browsed through a couple of books about designing using fondant and I chanced upon Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes book. How I love it! Just to illustrate how I was drawn to read every single page of the book, I comfortably positioned myself in an Indian sit at the carpeted floors of Fully Booked. I must have spent 30 minutes or more leafing through the wonderful wedding cakes in every design imaginable.
I took time to read the different design techniques and for me, that is really what's important - the technique. I can always surf the web for cake designs but the techniques are what will bring me to nicely put those tiered cakes together. Everything I read is all in my head from templates, transferring designs to the cake, transporting it and so many other things.
It is when I can't stop talking about something when you'll know that I'm ...
1. interested
2. serious about it and
3. passionate
My interest in culinary is growing and I was ecstatic to find a four and a half months Skills Program that allows me to learn the basics of both culinary and baking. I plan to take that course next year. This school will have both lectures and application. Classes will be every Sunday (and I don't really mind if it's a weekend). Will blog more about it when I'm about to enrol.
Happy weekend everyone! (I seem to be all charged up this morning.)
