Baking Class -- Chocolate Forest

EP
====

Yesterday i've been to the baking class in Lai Chi Kok
with my colleagues ,7 of us ( all gals , one of the gal is my friend ) ,
Lai Chi Kok is near Mongkok , but unlike MK , is the industrial area ,
lots of baking workshops opened in those factories beacuse of the
rent are relatively cheaper .


the baking class yesterday started at 4PM , total 2 hours . Teacher
worked in hotel before ( a chef ) , his workshop also have other classes
about baking bread / coookies / western / asian cuisine etc ..
The class is a bit challenging to me beacuse all the others ( inculding my friend )
have baking experiences before coming to the class , some of them can be
the baking " expert " since they will sometime make some cakes / desserts
back to the office and share with us .... so to me this time my very first time
try to bake a cake totally by myself .

Firstly , the teacher gave us a note with all the ingredients we need for the cake ,
he go through the points first since the note also covered the steps . Than we've
been distribute all the ingredients / tools we needed and than teacher started
to teach and make the cake us step by step .
Over all the class is super fun and interesting , lots of laugh and joke in between
and time passed very fast , you won't notice that it took 2 hours for a cake .....

i am not that fancy for cake with lots of cream on top , actually i am not that
into dessert , the cake looks good outside beacuse there's a lot of chocolate on top
and you can also notice there's mango / cherry paste as fillings ...
i back home at around 7:30PM ....my family just finished the dinner and per
them , they're " expecting " my cake as a dessert ...lol ... both my mum and little
sisier like the cake so much especially my little sister , she like to eat those cream
on the cake so much .... my elder sister said the favour of chocolates are rich but
not enough sweety .... i only tried a very small slice of the cake , i think the cherry
paste is not that tasty , next time if i make this cake again i will replace it with chocolate
maybe ..
i thought this cake will be stored in the fridge for a week and finally go to the garbage
can , but luckly i found the empty cake box in the can with some forks and dishes in
the sink when i woke up this morning ... i think they " kill " the cake as breakfast ..lol
that's some other photos in my colleagues 's camera , and will post here with the step
of baking this cake on Monday :-)
