I am an avid fan and although I dont bake I love drooling over your bakes. I hope you will not take to heart anonymous' comment about being selfish. You have every right to keep special recipes for your classes. Looking forward to more of your masterpieces.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Sharon,

Thank u so much for your kind understanding. Actually I wanted to post this recipe cos there's nothing special about this recipe and it's more on skill. But after what she said , I put that thought on hold cos no matter what you do, there always always someone like her.

For your info and for all my students who knows me, I have put my classes on hold because I don't want them to spend too much money on classes although I receive emails asking me about classes.

As for sky high rates?? Mmm...I think I don't make after calculating my practice of perfecting the recipe then passing on to students and of course not mentioning my hi-tea and big portions for them to bring home. I like my students to bring home enough for their family to try too..

Well, this anonymous has not attend any of my class before so she can't understand.

Sharing recipes??? I try my best to share and most of them I cannot post for fear of copyright. As for my classes, the recipes I taught are from my early years of learning and which I will never post in my blog.

Hope this clears "Anonymous" doubt and accusations.

Have a nice day.

I seriously think u need to find other hobbies or diversions in your life. Please do not leave such comments on other ppl's blog. Especially if u dun know dat person well. what aunty said is true, u obviously hv not attended in any of her classes before. (If u do, feel free to approach me) I'll be very glad to "entertain" u

Hi Aunty, Long time no see. Dun 4get to email me & 'S' for classes once ready k.. take care aunty & ignore poor Anonymous..; February 25, 2009 1:36 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Anonymous,

If there are people who are willing to pay to learn a skill from this specially talented lady who's passionate about what she does, I suppose there is nothing more to be said.

Having said that, the copyright issues are real and she is just protecting herself from legal problems. If the recipes can be shared, I'm sure she shares it willingly, as can be seen from all the recipes she posts on her blog.

Let's learn to be gracious to one another instead of leaving petty comments on other people's blog.

Aunty Lucy: I'm looking forward to learning from you soon ! :); February 25, 2009 1:52 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Nur,

it's true what you said too...

You have attended my classes whereas she has not..so who's right??

Anyway, so sorry to hold back the classes...guess I will have it around mid-April cos I'm going to visit my daughter. Come visit me lah if you miss me.

I will email u and "S" as soon as the schedule is out.

Don't be disheartened by the comments given.
You can never satisfy ones expectation. The most important thing is that you are happy and feel the joy to teach those are willing to learn regardless the price cost.

I can say that you are a very generous and helpful lady. I have attended your class once and found it very enriching. Besides, when I encountered some doubts on the method of doing the eclairs, I simply dropped you an email and you readily replied to me even though I have learnt it a few months back. You are not at all selfish!

My comments:
Aunty Yochana has been such a wonderful lady, always updating cakes for our pleasure. Tried image having to work, bake cakes and upload them on-line and also answer queries.. so much effort has been put in. Well she is not selfish at all. Can't you see the kind of effort she has put in? So what do you mean she is selfish?

You said:
and been trying to ask people to pay for her classes instead =( poor students will not be able to afford her sky high rates

My Comments:
I believe this is something of a mutual understanding. If you want more knowledge, then you paid for it. Just like if you want to earn a degree, then pay for the course and get the papers. Sky high rate? Well if you can't afford it then don't attend or save enough money to do so. Why be like a fox and accuse that the grapes on the tree are sour?

Sorry Aunty Yochana, me very "chiong hei" but I can't stand people who post silly things like that in your post lor!!

Cheers

Aunty Yochana said...: Oh thanks Olivia for being cheong hei but you've made your point and you're very understanding.

My earlier posting must have gone astray....anyways
your affordable classes are very much appreciated by me.You teach with so much enthusiasm. You've been such a kind and generous person and a great hostess!

Where in S'pore do you get to attend a baking class with a complimentary High Tea and generous helpings of cakes to bring home?

Annonymous should take a look at your Cake Index and count the number of recipes you've given so unselfishly.

Looking forward to your "akan datang" classes and also to buy your macarons, hahaha, yeow kwee me. :)

Cheers,

If you think Aunty is selfish, why dont you just leave? She dont charge anyone for viewing her blog, she dont owe anyone recipes. Besides more there are over 1000 more other webs with recipes.

"and been trying to ask people to pay for her classes instead" ; Hello, of course you need to pay for classes/lessons !What are you exactly pinpointing at?! Youre probably a 14 year old kid with no common knowledge thats why you just camp behind the screen hoping tht the reverse method might work. Well, sadly to say tht not everything will work in this way. & lastly, I must commend you on hiding your pathetic identity, at least youre smart enough to do so.; February 26, 2009 1:52 am

You have a good break and reunion with your daughter!!

I pray for your safe trip.

I will see you again.

Ahh..it's good to know that u indeed have some sarcasm there somewhere in you. At least we all here knows that u're human..lol

Aunty, u enjoy yr trip there & looking forward to your classes updates. Send our regards to Mak & Kakak 4 us k. Miss them too lah; February 26, 2009 6:06 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: H anonymous (you don't even have a name? ),

Please do not come to my blog anymore to attack other fan bloggers. Please leave quietly. I can hunt u down if you continue leaving abusive words in my blog. You have to watch what you'er saying in internet. We know of one young girl like u who leaves nasty remarks in others blog. She was caught up by the law..so now we don't see or hear of her anymore. There are more but I don't want to reveal how ugly it has become for her.
So please stay clear of trouble.

You referred yourself as "poor student", are you still in school ? If so, then I don't know why are you not revising your school work (so that you can excel in school) but choose instead to leave undesirable comments on Aunty Yochana's blog.

It's really uncalled for. If you are serious about what you wrote, shouldn't you be leaving your name behind so that Aunty can address you properly. If you have been asking for recipes and got no response, did it ever cross your mind that it's because you didn't leave a name ? It's basic courtesy. If you are asking for some "freebie", at least have the courtesy to put a name to your request and end it with "Thank You".

I noticed that there are alot of requests for recipes and all just use "anonymous", some don't even have the courtesy to end the request with "Thank YOU". See the comment on this page at 8.29pm on 23 Feb. In fact, there are more than 1 who didn't end with "Thank you" or leave behind a name. Scroll through this page and there are so many of such people around.

Yes, times are very bad, but this is not the way to go about asking for free things.

To all those who signed off as "Anonymous" and asking for this recipe, please use Google and key in "Chocolate Lave Cake", you will have tons of them popping out.
And you can choose which ever you fancy and try them.

I've always been telling Aunty Yochana that by charging the rate that she is charging and the amount of food that each student brings home, she is paying out of her own pocket by conducting the classes !
Each student not only get to bring home big portion of the cakes taught but there's also a generous spread of Hi-Tea items that most students packed home ! And these students really bring huge boxes to bring home !

If you want examples of sky high prices for baking class, try looking at :-

http://www.creativeculinaire.com/events.html

http://www.shermay.com/

These 2 places don't give big portion of taught items for students to bring home and neither do they have a generous spread of High Tea items (cakes, jelly, kuehs, bread) for students to pack home enough to feed a whole family.

So please don't come here any more.

It's a long post, Aunty Yochana, but I can't help by stating facts which this nuisance is ignorant of.

Have a good break visting your daughter and I know (and many of us here) that I will miss your picture perfect bakes badly :); February 26, 2009 8:15 pm
Cookie said...: Hi,

I have never attend Aunty Yochana's class due to conflict of schedule. But my friends who have attended told me that she is a very pleasant and generous lady who is more than willing to share her baking knowledge.

Her rates are really reasonable, and in my opinion, barely cover her time, baking materials and utilities etc. And it surely unsustainable if not her passion and love in baking!

BTW, I ever requested for certain recipes in the past but didn't get either. I can't blame her/anyone cos no blogger is obliged to share recipe. Imagine the time and effort it takes to type it out!!!

Anonymous, stop being childish to make unfounded remarks.; February 27, 2009 1:04 am
