The buttercream is not too sweet; and the icing cream is just nice too! Yes, I find it so incredible that she is entirely self-taught. She's so popular she's booked up till September at Shermay's. Incredible! The Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Paste costs $49.95 and Extract costs $39.95, if I'm not wrong. :) I dropped by Pantry Magic yesterday afternoon before the Cupcakes Workshop started. I didn't really find anything useful for me because everything is made in silicon. I still have my reservations about that material in the hot oven. :P cadenze Hi Evan,

No worries though, because the 10-page recipe is very comprehensive! Enjoy your class! cadenze Hi Sonic,

Check back with Shermay's frequently for Workshop II. I'm very fortunate to get a seat for the 23rd class. :) Swannie dear, yes it will benefit you, hopefully hehe. Let me know your preferences if possible. Grace, I know of two places which sell the white cupcake cases. One is Bake-It-Yourself (www.b-i-y.com) and the other is at Shermay Cooking School itself (www.shermay.com). Otherwise, you can find cupcake cases of that shape (but with strawberry printing) at Phoon Huat outlets :) Sonic, glad you enjoyed the class. Check back with Shermay’s frequently for Workshop II.

The itinery will be Gim Hin Lee -> Ailin -> Sun Lik -> BIY. Actually JB will be one of the place to go, I've been to Ng Ming Huat and the decor variety is better and in ringgit the cupake case are slightly cheaper too. Actually for cupcake white case, PH is still quite cheap, the strawberry print are at 200 pcs - S$12.60 whilst Sun Lik is probably slightly more BUT they have more sizes even to a quite big one. Ailin is selling size 50 (normal size one) for 50 pcs at S$5. I think we can organise a Baking Supplies one-day tour. The itinery will be Gim Hin Lee -> Ailin -> Sun Lik -> BIY.

Sun Lik has more finer caster sugar at 1.90/kg n even the cake flour is cheaper than in Ghim Lee, as well as the butter. Sun Lik n Ghim Lee's shops are no doubt more organised than Ailin. Chong's Trading mostly sells bakeware items, not ingredients. But they have more Wilton's stuff you can ever find in Singapore. Yup, the cup for the cupcakes do have more sizes to choose from. n more cheaper in terms of quantity than you buy at Ghim Lee. Ghim Lee mainly sells Bake King's products. Hi there.
