Classes classes and more classes

We have been planning a lot of exciting things for our classes.
As I was thinking about the history of where we started, its hard to believe that our classes are on its 7th year.
When we first opened, I only taught Wilton Course 1. I thought it would take a few months for me to get ready and start Course 2 & 3 but immediately after about 3 weeks, I went from teach just 1 Course 1 class to Course 2 & 3


























Luv this photo of one of our very first graduating class in Deelite























It was a very exciting time, and I remember every moment of those early days when I ran my classes in a rented studio with only 4 seats .

















Last year we launched our classes in Chinese which was a huge hit. Many of you have requested the classes to be in other languages. I''m excited to announce that for the month of November, we have Wilton classes available in Thai.
HAPPINESS!!!!
I'm so exciting that we have this available as many of our Thai customers have requested for this.
Here are the dates
Nov 5,12,15,26 4-6pm Cake Deco Course 1
Nov 8,12,15,19 10-12 Course 1
I thought I"d leave you off with this cake. This was my very first cake I finished during my Wilton Training. I felt so exciting when I finished my first cake. The Wilton Method really gave me the confidence to just go for it:). I never thought then after completing my final cake that I would be able to do what I do now.
I will be the first to tell you that its not the most Fabulous final cake:) To this day, it is my favourite cake and I discovered one of my biggest passions in life. We all have to start somewhere. I have seen so much talent with our students here in Deelite and feel honored to be apart of their journey.







I will be the first to say that I have not learned it all, but I LUV what I do and always love discovering where cake decorating will take me.











I hope this cake inspires you as much as it inspired me.

Autumn FEVAH!

Can you believe that Autumn is here???? Craziness.
What really marks the start of Autumn here in Asia is mid-autumn festival. There's a certain change in the air and it gives all of us a kick start into the upcoming holiday season.
Here's a shot of a class finishing thier graduation cake on the evening of Mid-Autumn festival.
I think this group of students have the right idea, thier starting off thier fesitivies with a fab cake.














Some of you may have noticed we have our class schedule posted all the way up till December.
We've come up with some great workshops that will give you a kick start into decorating without too much fuss. We Luv to Decorate & Celebrate is a brand new workshop that introduces you to decorating shaped pan cakes. We will teach you some Deelite tips that will make baking and decorating your 2D shaped cake a walk in the park.
Say bye bye to cakes that come out half stuck on your shaped pan, and spending hours trying to outline the design of your shaped pan. You will learn lots and have even more fun in this workshop.




I can't believe that our store has shopping aisles now. I did a lil dancing down the aisle just because I luv our new home so much:) I found some of our new goodies. Here are some of my personal faves!!!





Have a great weekend!

p.s. in order to view our schedule all the way to December on our class web page, you have to scroll all the way down and click next, the next month will show up.

I'll leave you with our UHdorable cherry cupcakes:)

Our store is open and it has been very exciting.
We have been busy restocking and getting use to our new home. We love our new bigger home and we have been getting lots of encouraging comments which really makes our day.
Some of you who have already visited probably noticed some empty shelves, we have been busy trying to fill our floor with stock. Please excuse us as we try to get all the stock out and re merchandise. Its been a bit of a scramble but we're almost there. Don't be surprised if you see some new items the next time you come.






















Luv our bigger cupcake case:)















And yes, we are fully aware that there are still some loose ends, please excuse us as we give our store its finishing touches:)
















Our classes have been going on full swing. Its been great seeing our past students get so excited about their new classroom.





































As the school season is back in full swing, we've been doing a lot of kid themed cakes.
Here's our latest.

Luv my lil piggy who keeps me company when I paint.
I used fondant paint for the fab background.

Lotsa excitment!

ts been an extremely exciting week. Our store is almost done and we can't wait to start merchandising in our new premise.
Our classes and cake studio have been moving along very well and we have been busily decorating away. The week has just zipped by so quickly I can't believe its already the weekend.
We got a surprise email from Cayden's mom today and it made our day.
We made an UHmazing Madagascar cake for Cayden's 4th birthday.
We hand sculpted all fore of the Madagascar animals into a giant cake.
As you can see from the photo, the cake was really a HUGE hit. And we had a great time making it all come to life.
To top it off we add 4 giant firework candles.
Cayden I"m sure was over the moon!:)
" please find attached 2 pics of the wonderful birthday cake you did for my son last Sunday with the Madagascar theme. Everyone loved the cake and I must say I was REALLY impressed and was definitely way more than I had expected. You guys did a beautiful job and my son loved the cake! Couldn't bear having to cut it open to eat !"






















Here's the video. It will make you wanna Move!!!
