My first wedding cake from hands on workshop

It has been a long while I am getting myself into fondant decorating cake. Yesterday, I enroled myself for a hands on workshop to learn the method of cover dummy and basic wedding cake decoration.

As my first experience, I feel that making the frill is not so easy. I got lots of broken and bad one. Piping the Royal Icing using the 000 nozel also killing me for the first time. I believe practice makes perfect. 

According to Chef Eugene, after a few tried, we will get used to it. Anyhow, I learnt a lot and I think it was a nice afternoon to spend in the workshop yesterday.

.... hehe... not bad, huh?
