Young Hands Master Food Photography @ At 19 Culinary Studio

At 19 Culinary Studio conducted a special kind of class on 6 Dec which inter-twines creative photography and culinary skills in a collaborative effort with Exes Photography’s ‘The All Juniors’ Programme’.

As part of the programme, young aspiring shutterbugs teens will participate in a challenge to bake, decorate and put their talents to test to capture the best photographs of their culinary and food creations and eventually getting the right techniques and professional guidance in producing food photography.

This food photography collaboration programme is an exciting and interesting experience for the teenagers because it is an entertaining school holiday programme, focusing on educating, inspiring and developing the creativity of the younger generations. Teenagers aged 13–18 years old will have the opportunity to develop their interest in photography a step further by discovering and learning the essential skills from professional photographers while having fun in shoot out challenges in various locations.

At 19 Culinary Studio, these teen enthusiasts experienced a hands-on cupcakes baking and decorating session. The theme chosen for this challenge is Underwater World where the children will create underwater world creature designs out of fondant icing under the guidance of a cake decorator. Once they have completed their creations, the kids will get a chance to learn how best to take photographs of their decorated masterpieces in a professional way.

Private Class: Comptel Communications - 28 Nov & 1 Dec

The cooking class for a group training cum dinner organised for Comptel Communications was fun, fun, fun. What a way to close a training session of fellow colleagues from South East Asia and Europe, all under one roof, cooking away to savour their hard work of delicious Asian dishes afterwards.

Many of the participants were from Europe and their first time to South East Asia. Boy! For first timers, they sure can take spicy. The theme chosen by their local comrades was "Asian Flavours" and the recipes were Thai Mango Salad, Nyonya Baked Fish and Tom Yam Seafood Soup!

Everyone had fun decorating their dishes to show case their best presentation for the dishes to earn brownie points from Chef Khai. Creativity ruled the day and yes, it was a fund and delicious culinary experience. Bravo Comptel!

Cake of the month - Nov 2011

We just remembered that we have not been featuring our cake of the month for some time now. We have been so busy the past few months but we must tell you about our latest “Cake of the month”. Our best custom made order of the month for Nov 2011 is a very special Birthday cake for King Z!

Yeap, the request was for a Macaroons Tower Cake to celebrate King Z's birthday. The flavours chosen were pistachio (our best loved flavour), strawberry (our all time favourite) and chocolate (everyone's favourite) creating the wonderful colours of green, red and brown. The cake looks so so pretty and yummy. Have a Happy "Macaroonish" Birthday King Z from all of us At 19 Culinary Studio.

Private class: Chocolate Indulgence - 15 Nov

Adeline wanted to plan an enjoyable half day out, a secret getaway from the stress of work for a bunch of her colleagues to celebrate Bee Gaik's early retirement (how lucky!). OCBC Bank must be missing these girls (and guy) wondering where they were at on a hot tuesday afternoon!?

When Adeline e-mailed us. We were excited and suggested that she host a private cake baking class and we immediately came up with the idea of chocolate cakes. The girls (and guy!) learnt how to bake chocolate moist cake and chocolate marble cake. They also did a hands-on session of creaming and setting the chocolate cake with choclate ganache. Now isn't that what we call "Chocolate Indulgence"! Happy retirement Bee Gaik!
