9:20 PM 4 Comments

Cake! Who doesn't love Cake?

There's even a saying..

"There's always a place for a Cake!" - Unknown

Wait.... or is it Dessert? Well, just let it be LOL

Allright! Back to the topic, as you can see something unusual here, yes, Baking Class! Exactly last week (Wed, 20th April 2016), I had a chance to join a baking class with Indonesian Food Blogger and Bungasari Flour Mills at Bungasari Innovation Center.

FYI, I officially resigned from my job to focus on my Undergraduate Thesis, so yeah weekdays are freedays!


It was an exciting experience for me, because baking wasn't really my thing but somehow I got really excited when I heard about that class (Just ask IDFB members if you don't believe it lol). Due to my super-busy life, I barely got a chance to try Baking because it usually takes so much time & effort, and it usually requires trial-and-error process. But my mom is (or was?) a good baker, she used to bake some Cakes & Cookies back when I was a kid, so Baking isn't a rare thing for me.


Now let's talk about Bungasari, I bet you guys already heard or even tried their product. As you can see from their name, Bungasari Flour Mills, yes, Flour! They produces various high-quality flours with unique name, that are Golden Eagle for the High Protein Flour, Bola Salju for the Medium Protein Flour, &  Hana Emas for the Low Protein Flour. They have different type of usage too, Golden Eagle is most suitable for Bread & Noodle, while Bola Salju is multipurpose, and Hana Emas is for Cake, Cookie & Biscuit. (I honestly just learned it at the Baking Class :o)

Today's cake recipe was Sachertorte, invented by Austrian Franz Sacher in Vienna, Austria. Well before it turns to History class, let's move to the next topic LOL. So, before the baking session began, There's a presentation about Bungasari, Flours, & Cakes from Chef Kelik & Chef Latief who laters became our guide.

In the first paragraph, I mentioned Bungasari Innovation Center. What is it and where?
As the commitment of Bungasari to educate the society about what & how to use Flours properly, they created an Innovation Center at Jl.Taman Pakubuwono 6 No.11, South Jakarta. In their Innovation Center, you can learn how to cook anything based on Flour such as Cake, Noodle, Cookie, etc (except Play-Doh XD). There are classess every weekend, or anytime you want, just contact them here. The location was easy to be found especially because it is not far from Senayan City. It looks like a house from the outside, with a big signage. But the inside is quite amazing! My eyes was shining so bright when I saw their equipments *x* They have such modern & clean equipments, can't wait to touch them #eh



The class started around 9:30am. We were divided into 3 groups with 5 persons each, me with Liza, Febriyan, Adin & Oline. My part mostly just disturbing my team (lol kidding) while Liza as The Baker, Adin as The Helper, Febriyan and Olin as the Photographer & Videographer. It was indeed an amazing time! I learned a lot from that baking class and the Chefs also gave us a hand tho, eh, a lot I guess haha!


The baking process wasn't easy, but thank God Liza (the Baking Foodie) was on my side. Even Febriyan said "You should take off you baking title if you failed on this one", nice words! *evillaugh* Well it's mostly laugh tho :D It took about 30mins to bake the cake and 30mins to cool it down, so while waiting we had lunch and took photos around.


Yay! It's time to decorate our cake! They gave us white & black chocolate bar, and some macarons (too bad I didn't get that). We are free to decorate our cake as we want, and after the decorating session, which was the final session, there was this surprise from Bungasari, they chose 2 Best Decorated Cakes and it went to..... jengjengjeng... Ms. Arni & Ms. Lia!! *applause*



No winning doesn't mean no learning, because I got a lot of new things to learn from this class!
I hope I can join another class from Bungasari Innovation Center, like real soon :)

Why am I blurred? Duh!
