We all as a media get the opportunity to learn how to bake our very own cupcakes yesterday morning.
The event were held at The Cooking House located at Desa Sri Hartamas lead by Chef Lu Soo Chee (Resident Cake Artist).
All the ingredients and preparations were done ahead awaiting us to rock the place.
Flours, sugars, eggs, utensils and somecolourings is the key ingredients for the cupcakes. It is less ingredients but requires a lots of patience to do it if you do not have a mixer. This mean! s hand b atter!
The event were started with Zalman Aefendy Zainal Abidin, Chief Marketing Officer of Celcom Axiata Berhad.
He said, this event is open to all Malaysians and not just Celcom customers. The use of social medias to promote national unity spirit.
We were then shown a sample of how should the cakes look like. You can either follow them or come out with your own.
After taking a look on the concepts, we all start to bake for the basic Vanilla Cupcake.
We were instructed by Celebrity Chef from Selera TV3 Chef Rose on baking our cupcakes and decorate it
This is the instruction sheet. Just follow it and you cant go wrong.
Beat the butter and sugar.
When done put in eggs and continue till it is even and fluffy.
Place it half height in every cups so that it can raise nicely.
Do not over stuff it or else the cupcake will raise too high and overflow from the cup.
Our cupcakes being bakes. You can see it raise nicely.
See how cute is our cupcakes. We feel so happy for the result where it came out golden brown and smells good.
After done with the cupcakes now we need to prepare and get ready the icing sugar.
This is hand beaten from icing sugar and butter. It may look simple to do it but as you go to the final stage it is tight. So hand mixer comes in handy if you have it.
