Well well, as usual I went to school to assemble with the “female association” members @_@. There were only four of us meeting up that day as some of them are on working shift or have some transportation issues. I am actually the 2nd oldest gal in the team. Our team lead is actually Doreen who is already a mummy. There are actually many things to be discussed and we only have 5 more weeks before the competition.
We have finally come up with an idea on our wedding cake. We decided to use oval shaped 20 inches cake as the base; two love shaped 9 inches and 6 inches cakes respectively for the 2nd and 1st tier. There is going to be a Cinderella-like-carriage on the base, groom and bridegroom dancing on the 2nd tier and a traditional church on the top most. A stair will be built between the base and the 2nd tier; and a bridge (love bridge) between 1st and 2nd tier. I don’t know how it will turn up but our chef assistant suggested us to build a model using foam and card-board to mimic the actual design of our cake. This is actually to give us an idea of what kind of size is perfect for each of those models.
Since there will be 6 of us in a team, we decided to delegate our jobs. Four will be in charged of the wedding cake, one will be responsible for continental cake and the last one will be handling the dessert cake. When we are discussing on who is suitable for what, one of the chef assistants suggested that I take up dessert since I am the one with the best hand skills and creativity among them O_o. Haha, well for me this is a definitely a compliment. I always think I am clumsy and blunt :P Next round I will definitely attach the dessert cakes that I have made… ^_^ Anyhow, anyway, the gals want me to be part of the wedding cake team since they said we are better off together so I decided to stay with them.
More updates will be up after I am back from my Europe trip….Hehe..my Europe 2008 trip is based on Da Vinci code quest (covered UK, Amsterdam, Belgium and France) and now Europe 2009 will be based on Angels and Demons (covers UK, Scotland, Croatia, Switzerland and Italy). Both fictions are by Dan Brown and they are my all time favorite books. (The movies are definitely less attractive to me as compared to the books!!) Better make sure I don’t read Dan Brown’s books anymore…else there will be never ending expensive trip!!!
