The Water Dragon Spirit

2012-03-01T01:24:00.000+11:00

Hello all,

First of all I would like to wish everyone a belated 'Happy Chinese New Year 2012' (water dragon year), I know it's kinda late (like...1 month late) but please give me a chance to wish everyone good health, luck, peace and prosperity. Hope everyone will experience a fantastic year ahead.

In the spirit of the water dragon, I would like to share my past dragon cake works with you all. I looked at both photos and trying to recall the making of the dragons. Ohhhh...what a process. They were different in terms of techniques/ colouring skills and I did enjoy every moment of the process in creating them. Really pleased with both dragons. I was comparing both dragons several times, and I cant decide on which design I like the most. I love them all ...

Which dragon do you like the most? Red Or Green?

Lemme know your thoughts...XOXO

My very 1st dragon work (probably dated somewhen in early 90s), single colour method - all red. Female dragon perhaps?


My 2nd dragon (approx. 3-4 years ago), smaller in size, more colour details, check out the color gradation method.

hi all,
it has been awhile since the last time i wrote something here.
i have been busy designing, creating and organising and putting all together some workshops.
first thing first, the shop is on the way. hopefully if everything goes well, it will be open it's door by 1 december 2010.

oh dont worry, the room wont be in lime green...hehehehe...

the first class will be on that weekend. i am very excited about it.
my brand new website will be launch by the end of october.
you can book the course online and view the workshop as well.
there will be plenty of updates etc etc...please come and have a look!!
i am starting to take some bookings for some of the courses.

at this stage you need to give me your email and i will sent you the details.

workshops will be grouped into 3 groups
beginner 1,2,3

which i will recommend that you have to do it at least the beginner classes before you can jump from one class to another as each workshop is design to have certain learning outcomes.

private class

2010-09-10T17:32:00.000+10:00

i had a private class today with 2 beautifull girls
both are equally passionate about food and baking and decorating
we had such a great time laughing and keeping our hands busy at the same time
they did colourful madhatters and i am very impress with the level of skill they have. one of them had only done a few cakes in her life.
i was a little unsure how these cakes would turn up, however they manage to impressed me with their results.
lunch time was another story. the host was spending all night cooking 4 different types of food. i was there busy stuffing my face with the foods
it was very delicious. something that i would eat if i went back to indonesia.
and not only that, she packed all the left overs which could feed the whole army.
we manage to finish on time. they both happy and had a fab time as well
i will post the pic later for the result....
well done girls....and keep up the good work...see you next time!
