PME Diploma - SugarPaste Course

After the excitement of taking the Wilton 1 course, I went ahead to pick up the professional PME Diploma – Sugarpaste course in cake decoration. I wanted so much to be able to do as well as other online bakers and to be able to mold out beautiful “art works” for my own children.

It was really fun working with sugarpaste. Altogether, we learnt to do 5 different cakes design.

This is the 1st cake that I made. I didn’t know that sugarpaste will not survive in our normal humid environment. I left it on the desk for a day and had a rude shock upon seeing it. Most of the item on the cake had “melted”…

My 2nd cake done. It’s a one year old celebration cake. This time round, I had it placed into the fridge and guess what… It was wet when removed from the fridge. Upon asking my teacher, then I realized that the fridge is an enemy of sugar paste as well! Urrgghh..
Nevermind the wetness, my girl was excited when she saw the cake and wanted to eat it immediately. She took off the brown bear and started biting into it. Hmmm.. Too sweet, darling..

The 3rd cake I had made. It’s one of my favorite cake among all those that I had done in the whole course. This is a 2 tier wedding cake. I have chosen a sweet pink theme for this cake. See the beautiful butterflies perching on the roses and ribbons? :)

The rocking horse cake. It’s tough getting the horse to stand up straight. We used gum-paste instead. Did 2 horses (as an insurance), but one of them broke. See the laces on the side of the cake. It took me the longest time to make and I also had a hard time trying to pipe along those “hole” patterns on the lacing.


This is my finale cake. It’s another wedding cake with a set of hand-molded bride and groom. Initially, all my classmate wanted a “D” cup for the bride, but ended up all of us only managed an “A” cup. Hahaha.. Nevertheless, nice!! I like the back view of the bride and groom, not because the front view is not as prefect, but it’s really romantic to see couples sitting idyllically together..
