Styrofoam Carving

The last class CAD subject offered is the Styrofoam Carving class.. Glad we are not taught by the same lecturer as the Butter Class.. Those who read my blog would know why.. So, Chef Syam took over the Styrofoam class and we are given the freedom to choose our design.. 4 classes were given only cause of short semester so some of us took the project home while others did theirs in the storeroom..


Our Group B products: Scorpion, Taj Mahal, F1, Lobster Sculpture and Sydney Opera House..


Small, medium and large lobsters.. Roger, Fedrick and Jeffrey..


This is how styrofoam look like before it is coloured.. Duh? Thinner can be used to creat effects on the styrofoam.. It is corrosive!


Putting up some of the parts.. Supervised by Shiro Pi.. We worked till 4am to complete the colours.. We fix everything in the class room the next day..


Class room(107) the chef's so-called art room? Some people are so stupid they wipe the butter under the desks or chairs.. Morons! If any possibilities you came across this class room, do be-ca-re-ful!


From top!


KDU rock can be seen here..


And here..


Took pic with the chinese cooking chef..


Group B, Sem 5 Jokers..

Finally, our art is appreciated by many chefs and was brought to The Star Edu Fair! Hahaha!!
Good Life after much effort we put in.. Please give us an A!

Xocolatl Class ( Chocolate class )

Hello again these products are from my CAD 2 class.. It is a chocolate class taught by Chef Syam the man! The group members involved is Gareth & Bala the chocolate sculpturer! Jam & Mozi the paraline maker and finally Reese & myself the chocolate tempering man..


Our presentation.. It is a small portion only so we do it on a plate instead of a big piece of mirror..

Side ways.. The cost of this plate should be around RM 30 since we are using pure dark chocolate.. Normally chocolate is devided into 3 types which is pure dark (40 degrees), compound(41 degrees) and white chocolate (42 degrees)..

The butterfly again.. Little girls might love this.. I think she loves it too! LOL..

3 layered where 3 types od chocolate are available.. By Gareth..

The squirrel.. Don't turn out good but it is accepable.. Haha.. I love the moo moo coloured chocolate..

So.. Chocolate class end, styrofoam class starting! Love it!

Wedding Cake Decorations..

Hello again.. Sorry for the lack of updates.. I was busy studying Marketing subject for Mid Term which I think I will fail teruk teruk..
Ok enough of Marketing here is what we did for CAD 2.. CAD 2 means Culinary Arts and Design part 2..


Butterfly and Rose.. Made from Royal Icing and Pastillage.. We don't use the gum Paste because it contains too much ingredients and pastillage is our good friend!

Ops.. Forget to intro my group members.. Daniel on the left, myself, the wedding cake, Gareth and Reese.. The H&T chef got interested with our cake and asked us to keep it in the pastry kitchen.. So if anyone interested to view it.. It is in the pastry Kitchen, first work table only or can see throught the tempered window..

That's my chef, Chef Zaihan.. He is good in yoyo too :)

Mozi and I.. Take photo with celebrity chef very syok 1 you know? Next time when the video is on, u can see Mozi naked cooking in the beach.. XP

A bouquet of flowers at the bottom tier..

Aha yeah.. People, newbie chefs are mostly screwed by the masters.. So do smile all the time to keep up the spirit of culinary! Yahoo!
And remember to change your toot-up attitude.. You might get screwed if you think you know it all in this industry..

Humble.. Humble..

Butter Sculpture

Memendangkan hari ini ialah Hari Raya Pertama, saya akan tulis 'post' ini dalam Bahasa Malaysia. Terlebih dahulu, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua orang Melayu dan Muslim yang membaca blog ini.

'Butter Sculpture' merupakan salah satu topik yang tardapat dalam mata pelajaran 'Culinari Arts & Design.' Topik yang unik ini diajar oleh seorang lecturer yang mempunyai Master dalam sculpture. Beliau juga merupakan seorang penulis buku. Kelas ini memberi kami peluang untuk menunjukkan kreativiti kami dalam membentuk sculpture yang diperbuat daripada butter.

Memandangkan kami hanya mempunyai 4 jam dalam seminggu untuk membuat 'sculpture' ini, kami terpaksa bertungkus-lumus untuk menyiapkannya. Setelah menyiapkan 'sculpture' tersebut, kami terpaksa memberikan bentangan tentang 'sculpture' kami. Pada masa itu, kami merasa cara pengadilan adalah tidak sah. Kerana yang cantik tidak diberi markah manakala yang hodoh dan lari dari tajuk mendapat markah yang tinggi. Saya merupakan salah satu daripada mangsa tersebut.

Apalah lagi yang boleh buat. Nasi sudah menjadi bubur.
Beginilah, tengoklah sendiri apa yang saya telah lakukan.
Terima Kasih..


Stabilizers yang merupakan tulang untuk tahan berat butter yang digunakan.

Tulang keseluruhan.

Selepas wayar dililit bagi menunjukkan bentuk seekor rusa.

Setelah surat khabar lama dimasukkan dalam celah celah wayar.. Ini bagi meringankan berat rusa.

Anak rusa.

Pada masa yang sama, lecturer tersebut memberi tekanan untuk meletakkan butter atas rusa saya walaupun saya masih tidak menyiapkan amaturnya.. Ini adalah kerana dia hendak pergi minum kopi dan bentuk rusa saya telah keluar.. Beliau hendak tunjuk kepada kelas.. Bodoh atau gila sekali?

Butter telah siap dilapis atas amatur rusa.

Telah digilapkan dengan tangan, mata & hidung telah bentuk dan pengteksturan telah dilakulan.

Abang yang berkongsi papan dengan saya..

Semua orang dalam kelas saya.. Semua kawan dalam kelas adalah berkebolehan dan peramah.. Kami terpaksa memgambil gambar dengan lecturer nyanyuk sebagai kenangan. Itu pun idea beliau..

Kalau beliau terbaca blog saya, kawan saya ada yang lebih teruk lagi.. Nak tengok?

HAHAHA..
