Masterclass Peggy Porschen part 2

As promised, there are more beautiful pictures to show you all from the Masterclass Peggy Porschen recently taught at Sweet Appetite.
Jacques van Bragt is a former member of the Dutch Pastry Team and joined the masterclass to learn more about the English way of making Wedding Cakes. it was really wonderful for us to have him join the class. Jacques is besides a patient, sweet, kind and genuine interested person, passionate about pastry. His company was rewarded as the best education program for pastry students in 2010. And if you want to learn from one of the best and kind pastrychefs in Holland join one of the classes he gives!


Zoals beloofd zijn er nog veel meer foto's die ik graag met jullie wil delen van de Masterclass die Peggy Porschen recent gaf voor Sweet Appetite.
Eén van de deelnemers aan de masterclass was Jacques van Bragt. Behalve ontzettend aardig en oprecht geínteresseerd is Jacques ook nog eens supergetalenteerd! Hij is lid geweest van het Nederlands Patisserie Team en vorig jaar werd zijn bedrijf beloond voor alle inspanningen met "Beste Leerbedrijf van het jaar 2010." Als je wilt leren van één van Nederlands beste en aardige patissiers, volg dan een workshop bij Jacques persoonlijk!

Masterclass Weddingcakes Peggy Porschen 2011

It seems like ages ago already, since the Peggy Porschen Masterclass in Weddingcakes has passed! But in fact, only a few weeks have passed. Pictures of the masterclass have been publiced on the wonderful, fresh and fashionable blog of The Perfect Wedding (ladies, thank you so much!).
Ofcourse I want to share some pictures and details with you as well! Because there is to much info to share in one blog, I'll write two, or maybe three, or more...We had such a marvellous time!

Het lijkt alweer een eeuwigheid geleden dat de Peggy Porschen Masterclass in Bruidstaarten plaats vond. Niets minder is waar, er zijn slechts enkele weken voorbij. Foto's van de masterclass zijn al te zien geweest op het frisse, hippe en gewilde blog van The Perfect Wedding (dames, dank u wel!) Maar natuurlijk wil ik ook foto's en details met jullie delen! Omdat er teveel is om te vertellen in één blog, schrijf ik er twee, of misschien drie, of meer...Er is zoveel leuks te vertellen!

Vera (Cakes and Co) came from Belgium to attend the class. She is such a lovely, talented and sweet lady! Betty (No Mis Cake) and I met years ago and had a little reunion during the class. Betty, it was so lovely to meet up again and this time it won't take years!
Vera (Cakes and Co) reisde speciaal af uit België om deel te kunnen aan de masterclass. Ze is een ontzettend lieve en getalenteerde dame! Betty (No Mis Cake) en ik ontmoeten elkaar jaren terug en hadden een kleine reunie. Betty, het was fantastisch je weer te ontmoeten en dit keer duurt het geen jaren voor we elkaar terug zien!


The results; Wedding Cakes, three days work! Every student went home with two finished cakes and a big smile. It was so wonderful seeing these results after all the hours every one put in!
De resultaten; bruidstaarten, drie dagen werk! Elke student ging naar huis met twee voltooide bruidstaarten en een grote glimlach. Het was geweldig om alle prachtige resultaten na alle uren hard werken bij elkaar te zien!

Nervous breakdown website

Because of lot's of interest in the visit and masterclass of Peggy Porschen, my website has had a nervous breakdown!
It's Sunday now and ofcourse my webhost will switch on the wright button only tomorrow morning.
I can't even receive or send my emails. So, if they're is a delay in receiving an answer from me, I'm so sorry! I will answer my emails as soon as possible.
In the mean while, if you need to reach me please send your mail to alletaarten@gmail.com

Helaas is mijn website overbelast wegens alle fantastische interesse in het bezoek en de masterclass van Peggy Porschen.
Omdat het vandaag zondag is zal mijn webhost pas morgen waarschijnlijk het juiste knopje om zetten waardoor mijn website en email weer bereikbaar zijn.
Het ontvangen en verzenden van email is tevens niet mogelijk nu. Het kan dus even duren voordat je antwoord krijgt op je mail, in de tussentijd kunnen mails verzonden worden naar alletaarten@gmail.com
Mijn excuses voor het ongemak en wij proberen alles zo snel mogelijk te herstellen!

Sweetopia

With the masterclass in Weddingcakes taught by Peggy Porschen for Sweet Appetite approaching, why not let a student of Peggy tell you how wonderful it is to learn from Europe's most talented and skilled cake decorator and pastry chef. Ofcourse I can go on and on about my experiences in London (and trust me I can..) but they're is someone else who can share her delight of joining a class from Peggy.
Someone who is a very talented lady herself and keeps the sweetest blog!
You probably know her already yourself.. Meet Marian, author of Sweetopia

Sweetopia is Marian's sweet, cute, wonderful place on the internet that teaches and inspires lot's and lot's of cake decorators all over the world! It's about everything relating to sugarcraft and a love of pink :)




In november 2009 Marian enrolled in the Masterclass Wedding Cakes, that Peggy Porschen taught at the Bonnie Gordon School in Canada. She, just like I did, enjoyed Peggy's class: "It's wonderful that you'll be hosting Peggy's class - as you already know, the participants won't be disappointed.
I can’t tell you how excited I was to be able to not only meet her, but take a 3-day class she was guest instructing at the Bonnie Gordon School."


Part of the class were lessons in making Peggy's signature marzipan and sugarpaste roses.


Marian:"Guess what she’s dipping it in? My favorite; disco dust!


To read and see more about Marian's experiences joining Peggy's masterclass go to Sweetopia. Be prepared, when you leave for Sweetopia, you won't go back for a long time!
