Chcocolate Banana Cake | Silver Chef Academy

Other than blogging, I actually love baking and cooking! Always spend hours at Kinokuniya, searching for the cookbook, have no idea but I love collecting cookbooks. Tell you a secret, hmm not actually a secret though haha! I often cook and bake for family and friends, I have never forgotten the look, and the satisfaction I felt. I think this is one of the reasons which makes me love baking and cooking more! If I were to choose one more course, I would love to pick up baking and culinary arts! Baking is fun and interesting if you love it! I appreciate those chefs who put effort on creating beautiful masterpieces, it isn't easy and requires lots of effort. How I know? I am honoured to be invited to Silver Chef Creations Academy to do chocolate banana cake under the teaching of Chef Nick. He is a great chef I would say! Being patient and helpful all the time. Thanks vickybobo for the recommendation! :)

I was amazed by the interior, the workshop is extremely clean and well-equipped. I baked before but always did it at my house, lack of equipments and every measurement also never did it accurately LOL. Now I can't wait to do my first-accurate cake HAHA!

Making of banana filling

Cutting sponge cake

You may think this is the easiest part but you are wrong! It's so hard to cut a cake with even surface. :/

Making of chocolate cream

Tadaaaaa

Done with the filling!

DO-NOT-DISTURB-FACE

I must say this is really hard mannn

Thanks Chef Nick for being such patient to me HAHAHA

Topping of cake

Here comes the hardest part of all, chocolate garnishes decorations! Chef Nick told me every student hates this part because your hands and fingernails will be full of chocolate dirt, it's the dirtiest part. But I think it is the amazing part that makes the cake turns pretty!
