And bring back fond memories of a most wonderful experience. Enjoy every moment, it goes quickly. Daniel was one of us and we are happy to see him back there passing on his vast knowledge and great hand skills for someone so young. Good luck and if you need any information about what else to do in Central Florida, just ask - some of us live here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-59489116672236369312008-02-05T09:20:00.000+08:002008-02-05T09:20:00.000+08:00miche: don't worry my dear; with enough practice a...miche: don't worry my dear; with enough practice and understanding, i'm sure breads will be lots easier for you eventually! <BR/><BR/>linda: OMG! how can you not love bread!! haha I am breads BIGGEST fan<BR/><BR/>felix: hmm..they both look quite different! haha I try not to think of 'hot-ness' of guys in class; I'm usually to worried about 'hot-ness' of ovens :P hehehe<BR/><BR/>linda: Photo's are HUGEEE in class; we all have our cameras with us as we bake! ;)<BR/><BR/>panda: Hey panda! it's heaps fun; you can be here with me when I post about my classes~<BR/><BR/>puturea: Hmm.. I have my dear; but I take awhile to reply them! Haha *>.<* Im so sorry; I waddle through my emails and comments so slowly sometimes.. I do apologize if it's urgent; I'll skim through them as fast as I can; I promise. my BLog just sometimes feels like a bigger part of me than my actual life! *laughs* I try to make time for me to run around 'outdoors' and do un-bloggy things :P<BR/><BR/>sweetrosie: hehe *yes *blush* I love decorating!!! They usually all start off at Weeeee hours in the morning; I guess not as early for cake decorators but early nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>manifique: thanks heaps for the comment! There could be HEAPS of answers for your question! haha it could be that the cakes were undercooked and they deflated when they come out. Or it could be that they were left in the cupcake tins straight out of the oven and the moisture created from the steam made the cupcake liners separate from the cakes. It could also be the recipe's addition of leavening agents wasn't accurate... it could even be drastic temperature/humidity changes from the oven to your table top. Shrinkage and pulling away from corners isn't rare for cakes. Maybe try a different cupcake liner? It might be that they are too thin or flimsy. *laughs* k.. I'm tired from typing now :P hehe Hope that helps anyway.<BR/><BR/>shafidah: thanks! i received your email too :)<BR/><BR/>natasya: Haha don't worry; there are PLENTY of us out there. Breadmakers are AWESOME! hehe... I guess Chef Daniel is on 'cute-chef' list too huh? ..wait to u guys see Chef Ewald Notter himself! *giggle* He is real handsome.Su-Yin -Décorateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815943675408514244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-18056117353700621442008-02-04T20:09:00.000+08:002008-02-04T20:09:00.000+08:00You just made my day!I thought I was the only one ...You just made my day!<BR/><BR/>I thought I was the only one on this face of Earth who CAN'T bake bread.;-)<BR/><BR/>Maybe that's why breadmaker was invented...for hopeless ones like me.<BR/><BR/>psst...Chef Danny is very cute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-55149605387294272882008-02-03T05:53:00.000+08:002008-02-03T05:53:00.000+08:00Hi Suyin, i'm fida..your blog 'silent reader'..jus...Hi Suyin, i'm fida..your blog 'silent reader'..just want to let you know..i have something for you in my blog, come & pick it up!

I've been frequenting your page since eons ago & im really excited for you! <BR/>oh, ive got a qn which is not related to any bread issues but i was baking cupcakes just now and i was wondering why did the cake (after letting it out to cool) sinks & then shrinks to a smaller size. It tears away from the cupcake liners and it looks horrible, eventho it tastes great. Is it the ingredient that i used or is it the beating techniques?<BR/><BR/>help me please!magnifiQue♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/02910109989658958776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-28861466573724544162008-02-02T07:26:00.000+08:002008-02-02T07:26:00.000+08:00Thank you for another really interesting post and ...Thank you for another really interesting post and the brilliant photos.<BR/>Sorry you aren't enjoying breads. I guess being a bread baker is as much an individual passion as being a pastry chef or a "decorateur"? <BR/>Do pastry chefs usually start work as early as bakers? In a large hotel for example?<BR/>Anyway, it all looks wonderful :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24892184.post-85301177353195235752008-02-01T17:19:00.000+08:002008-02-01T17:19:00.000+08:00Hi Su, your reports on classes at Notter make me w...Hi Su, your reports on classes at Notter make me want to jump there *giggle*<BR/>Anyway, have you got my email? i send to your gmail.
