Basic Baking lesson 2

Yesterday was the 2nd lesson for the basic baking class for 2010. I run this class at Palate Sensations, 4 times a year. I did not take any photos of the 1st basic baking class, as that was the busiest class. All the students are new to me and also some are new to baking. The 1st class was all female. We actually had a good time although we were rushing for time.

The 2nd class was also a busy class, with 4 quick cakes to bake. I thought I will give them a kick start by melting the chocolate and butter for the brownies in advance. Everyone came early and was very excited to get. Menu for the class is Brownies, Raspberry and white chocolate muffins, Banana cake and Marble Cake. 4 cakes, 13 students and 2 ovens, is it possible to finish in 3 hours? Well, we did it. Here are some of the photos from the class. Enjoy.

Getting ready, measureing out the ingredients and working as a team.

Greedy students who put too much mixture into the moulds and see how they overflow out? hehehe In the end, it is all about having fun right?
