Bake Your Way With Breville (Basic Cake & Stable Frosting Workshop)
I ain't seen myself baking one day, mixing the flour, eggs & etc
cause i have this perception that Baking is a difficult thing to do.
But a few weeks ago, i was invited to attend a baking workshop sponsored
by Breville held at the WOW Group. I love eating cakes & cupcakes but
i really don't know how to bake so without any hesitations
i went to the workshop and surprisingly i realized how fun it is to bake.
Before anything else let's have a brief introduction first about Breville.
They started out in 1932 with the aspirations of two young Australian Entrepreneurs.
Why Breville? It is actually from a combination of two names,
Bill O'Brien and Harry Norville.
They have juicers, blenders, espresso maker, kettle, oven, mixer & etc.
BREVILLE® is the leading Australian kitchen brand that banks on user-friendly designs and innovations, providing us with products that not only make the process easier, but also, make food and drinks taste even better.
BASIC CAKE & STABLE FROSTING WORKSHOP
by Chef Edward Mateo
It is my first time to attend a baking workshop and i really learned a lot from Chef Edward,
Aside from teaching us how to bake a cake he also properly discussed about the basic problems that you might encounter on frosting.
He used to Breville products for this workshop,
the Breville Scraper Mixer Pro & Breville Smart Oven

The Breville Smart Oven is the first compact oven with Element IQ™, the technology that controls heating elements to suit whatever you are cooking. Simply select your cooking program and adjust to taste and this smart appliance will deliver the right power at just the right time to each of its 5 elements. The 22 - liter Smart Oven™ also suggests the use of convection and makes adjustments for fresh or frozen ingredients.
The Breville Scraper Mixer Pro uses 'planetary mixing' for a superior end result. 360° bowl coverage is achieved by the counter-clockwise motion of the mixer head combined with the clockwise "sweep" of the beater and extra wide mixing attachments. The count-up and down mixing timer lets you set your mixer to the desired mixing time and automatically stops when the time elapses or continues to count up. Perfect for the multi-tasker!
Chef Edward says that the real techniques to create a perfect frosting is
