Cheesy-licious Baked Recipes You Can Learn at BELLS Baking Studio in Singapore

Say “Cheese!”

From baked tarts to toasted loaves and even the light buttercream frosting on your favourite cupcakes, here are some of our cheesilicious recipes that can be learnt at our BELLS Baking Studio in Singapore

Seaweed Cheese Loaf

Starting things off, we have our classic BELLS Baking Studio Breads and Tarts Course with a cheesy twist.

Seaweed & cheese may strike you as a novel combination, but it’s actually a tried and tested pairing.
The briny seaweed brims with glutamic acid, giving it the same “umami” taste as dairy and cheeses. It can also help temper the cheese’s “tang”, allowing its more sweet or fruity notes to shine.
The final savoury product has a distinct Japanese flair, but it’s actually pretty easy to master!
Sounds like a perfect breakfast staple? Join our baking courses in Singapore to start your mornings with some homemade seaweed cheese loaf.

Burnt Cheese Tart

Who can forget the grip this had on Singaporeans back in 2017, characterised by the snaking queues outside the now-defunct BAKE’s Cheese Tart, Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart and Lavender Bakery?
Spawning iterations such as salted egg, taro and even chocolate, it was a sold-out dessert enjoyed by many and a popular choice of baked goods that Singaporeans went to lengths to purchase, even as far as Johor Bahru!
Bring back those fond foodie memories by baking your very own Hokkaido burnt cheese tart! Imagine a melty concoction of sweet and savoury cream cheese paired with a golden buttery, crumbly shortbread crust for the ultimate indulgence.
We know you can already smell the aroma of burnt cheese coming from a baking studio in Singapore.

Cheese Plaited Bun

The humble cheese bun is commonly found in neighbourhood bakeries and high-end patisseries. Plain but deceptively flavourful, add your own twist and jazz up its appearance with a plaited bun! 

All it takes is to form strips of dough and weave them around to form a braid. Top with a copious sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and serve it toasty warm! This is one of our learner’s favourite recipes during baking lessons in Singapore.

Japanese Cotton Cheesecake

Next, we have the creamy and fluffy Japanese Cotton Cheesecake that’s perfect for a sweet touch after a savoury meal.

A distinct Japanese twist on the beloved cheesecake, it has a light and fluffy texture akin to a soufflé while retaining that rich, cheesy flavour.

Don’t let its innocent looks fool you! It takes a bit of expertise to master that bouncy texture, but we’ll guide you along every step with professional help! But don’t worry. The in-house Master Chefs at our baking studio in Singapore will help you learn hands-on.

Once you’ve mastered the art of Japanese Cheesecake, keep things simple with a dusting of powdered castor sugar or top with delicious cut fruit to add some vibrant colour!

Yuzu Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Yuzu, a mild citrus, is hugely popular in East Asia, such as Japan. Think a lighter but still tart lemon! When infused into a moist and sweet cupcake and paired with cream cheese, the tartness helps to cut through the creaminess and leaves a light aftertaste!

Dainty cupcakes means it’s a great addition to any occasion – a kid’s bake sale, a housewarming gift with a personal touch, or a new menu item that’s sure to sell like hot cakes for a home baker!

Fancy yourself a certified cheese-lover? Looking to add a savoury twist to your favourite bakes and sweets? Look no further than BELLS Baking Studio Singapore!

Other common dry-heat cooking methods include: pan frying, searing, roasting, sauteing, sweating, stir-frying, shallow- and deep-frying, grilling, broiling, baking and rotisserie cooking.
  • Moist-Heat Method: This method uses water, liquid or steam to transfer heat to food. The more common moist-heat cooking methods include: poaching, simmering, boiling, braising, stewing, pot roasting, steaming and en papillote.

Building Social Connections through Baking Courses in Singapore

Amidst the daily grind, it’s important to not neglect the relationships near and dear to you. This is especially pertinent if you find yourself in a new city or country!

Even if it’s just that neighbourhood kopi aunty greeting you with a smile of recognition, or even spending some quality time catching up with colleagues over a hasty lunch.

However, do you also feel like you want to pursue something more? Something that feeds the soul rather than going through the motions?

If you’re craving for some novel experiences and looking to meet new people and broaden your worldview, why not take up a useful baking course(s) in Singapore? After all, what better way to meet new people than bribing them with some delectable sweet treats? Sure, it might take you a couple of tries, but we promise the final desserts will be worth the effort!

Baking with a community

You may think to yourself, “I can totally pick up baking on my own! After all, there’s the school of Youtube”.

You’re not wrong! But, nothing comes close to when you bake together in a group. Be it learning with new-found friends or your current besties, you can exchange tips and help each other the process. And the best part? The shared laughter and encouragement to persevere in your baking lessons in Singapore!

Baking as a form of self-care

Another pro of learning baking lessons in Singapore? It’s a great form of self-care!

How does it help?

  • It can help you relax,
  • Get your creative juices flowing,
  • And indulge all five of your senses.

Studies have shown that taking up a baking course in Singapore helps to clear our heads and de-stress, helping us stay focused in the moment. When you take time for yourself, you feel recharged and ready to tackle whatever else life may throw your way!

Baking builds connections and brings people together

Don’t underestimate the impact of building new connections! You may start off as strangers or acquaintances, but a shared love for baking lessons in Singapore certainly can bring you a lot closer.

A shared love of food creates a more informal environment and provides a topic for conversation, regardless of social standing or economic status. After all, we all need to eat to sustain life!

To come out of isolation after a global pandemic can be a huge hurdle for more introverted personalities. After all, it was a collective shared experience across the world, and some even had to deal with death and loss as a result. By opening yourself up to food-related endeavours, it’s an easy way to ease into new relationships while growing your love for baking or cooking.

Another perk? It’s definitely sharing the desserts with your loved ones and convincing them to join you on your baking adventures!

How HRs can automate employee onboarding procedure after attending RPA course in Singapore

If you’re looking for ways to automate your HR processes but have little background in tech, we suggest starting with an RPA course in Singapore.
Imagine this: hands-on practice and learning with an instructor in person, where you will set up a software bot to input relevant data from multiple job applications onto a spreadsheet 24/7, all without writing a single line of code.

That’s just one example of what Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can do!
When one hears about RPA, a common misconception that people may have is that they need to start a large-scale automation project. In reality, you can automate just one small task at a time.
Interested to learn more? Read on to discover the top 3 ways you can use RPA to create an automated onboarding process.


Image by 2H Media via Unsplash
1. Automating Paperwork

While paperwork is part of the onboarding process, it doesn’t have to take up most of your time.
Instead of manually filling forms for individual departments to create a new hire’s work account, you can set up a code-free system to extract the necessary data from onboarding forms for payroll, IT, and other essential departments.
So, how does this work?
For instance, information about remuneration would be relevant to the payroll department instead of the IT department. Vice versa, details on granting staff access to applications wouldn’t be of much importance to the folks at payroll.
This automated system collects all necessary documentation in one place and can be easily extracted by the relevant departments.

Check this video out to see how you can use RPA to automate new employee account creation and application provision:

As you can see, it’s a breeze for HR and other departments to work together while eliminating much of the actual work simply by setting up bots to a defined workflow process.
What’s more, RPA is proven to achieve 100% accuracy. You’ll be free to concentrate on the more critical aspects of onboarding, like making sure new hires settle in properly to their new roles.

2. Create a Structured and Welcoming Employee Journey

While a positive onboarding experience is essential to boost talent retention, it doesn’t have to be complex and time-consuming with the help of RPA.

From issuing a warm welcome to mapping out an entire employee journey, RPA can help you to create a fuss-free and consistent experience for the company’s staff right from Day 1!

You’ll be able to harness the power of automation to provide a dependable, structured employee onboarding process that supports the new-hire journey and produce long-term results.

If you’re handling many employees and processes as an HR personnel, enrolling in an RPA Course in Singapore could be a game-changer. 

Best of all? RPA software Automation Anywhere uses a drag-and-drop user interface – perfect for those without coding knowledge!

3. Check-in and Obtain Feedback

A great employee onboarding program ensures that new hires can quickly reach the highest level of productivity amidst new job jitters. Important metrics such as Onboarding Satisfaction, Training Completion Rate, and New Hire Turnover can aid HR in measuring the effectiveness of the current onboarding process.
Such metrics provide management with a wealth of information on the onboarding process and what can be improved. The result? It sets up new hires for long-term success in their roles within the company.
Free yourself from a complicated and tedious onboarding process with RPA.
Let’s be honest. Paperwork is not fun. With RPA, you can transform the traditional onboarding process into a digital one.
If you are thinking of automating HR processes at work, consider our RPA course that’s SkillsFuture Credit eligible. We are also an Approved Training Partner of Automation Anywhere, the global leader in Robotic Process Automation Course. Automation Anywhere is a code-free, drag-and-drop solution that makes automation accessible to users without any technical knowledge.

Career Conversion Programme: Employers Can Now Get Salary Funding & More for Hiring New Hires!

Before the inception of the Career Conversion Programme (CCPs), employers in Singapore have experienced difficulties hiring skilled workers to meet the demands of their business in a post-COVID world.

 

What is the Career Conversion Programme?

The Career Conversion Programmes (CCPs) is an initiative under the WSG to help companies adapt to changing market conditions and ease recruitment efforts. CCP is for mid-career individuals to undergo skills conversion and move into new occupations or sectors that have good prospects and opportunities for progression.

 

Eligible SMEs will receive training for their new hires to prepare them to take on their new role with up to 90% salary support for up to 6 months.

 

 
What does this mean and how can CCP help your business

This programme addresses these common issues for SMEs:

    • Manpower Shortage
      Many SMEs are experiencing difficulties in finding suitable candidates for specific roles due to the labour market’s limited supply of skilled labour.

CCP allows companies to tap into a larger pool of candidates of unskilled workers.

    • Skill Gaps
      With the advancement of technology, the existing pool of candidates may not have the required skills to meet current demands of the business.

CCP helps to train new hires with in-demand skills to meet business needs to keep up with rapidly changing technology and business landscape.

    Top 4 Admin Tasks You Can Automate by Attending an RPA Course in Singapore

    Ever wondered what a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) course in Singapore is all about?

    An RPA certification in Singapore allows you to introduce business process automation technology that automates routine and time-consuming processes with software bots.

    You get to save time on menial tasks, while increasing your efficiency rate and reducing human errors in your work.

    The best part? You don’t even need to have coding knowledge to build your first automation bot from scratch!

    One of its major benefits is that it creates seamless, code-free automation across multiple platforms. Typically, the most commonly used platform is Automation Anywhere (AA), further simplifying the process via drag-and-drop actions.

    Here are the top 4 administrative tasks that you can automate after taking a RPA course in Singapore.

    1. Update Databases

    Ever felt like data entry is repetitive, mundane, and cumbersome? 

    You’re not alone!

    Be it your hiring database, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) or even future projections, updating is often a menial and confusing task, especially in times of handover or learning from legacy documents in a new role. An overwhelming majority (87%) of the office workers surveyed expressed a desire for their employers to automate these manual processes.

    Some more specific examples that Robotic Process Automation course in Singapore can teach you include

    • Mapping data from a CSV file to an Excel spreadsheet & vice versa,

    Working with many different suppliers, vendors and freelancers? Chances are you’re drawing in invoices, with multiple terms and deadlines and payments.

    After completing an RPA course in Singapore, you can consolidate all these invoices with 100% accuracy. Compile and port into Excel, perform mass mail operations and capture logins to the email servers for a holistic view of documents.

    That way, you’ll never miss out on an invoice ever again!

    3. Prepare Daily Reports

    With reports being part of our daily lives as professionals, there are so many repetitive steps to get at that final presentation. What if there was a way to cut down on those steps, for good?

    With Robotic Process Automation, you can extract data from websites, extract price information from online shopping platforms or any other online platform to compile and compare. This is hugely useful for employees in all organisation sizes, from small medium enterprises analysing their competitors and large multinational corporations (MNCs) calculating their profit & loss for the financial year.

    4. Transferring Data from Excel to Web & Vice Versa

    When dealing with large volumes of data, it’s inevitable that an error or two might pop up when we do things the manual way. However, anything short of perfect can potentially compound and lead to astronomical losses, no matter how “small” it looks.

    Oftentimes, we’re working across our localised desktops slash intranet to the World Wide Web. Unfortunately, they pretty much use different formatting and certain websites restrict copying functions and all, making it incredibly difficult to download and organise the data offline. 

    By earning an RPA certification in Singapore you will be equipped to transfer data from your Excel to the Web without anyone’s help!

    4. Go Trick-Or-Treating Across The Island

    For a family-friendly option, bring the little ones trick or treating at your neighborhood estates to revive the kampung spirit and have some harmless fun, all while making precious memories as a family.

    However, it’s best to do some homework in advance to maximise your candied returns! Some common tips include:

    • Woodlands, Chip Bee Gardens and Opera Estate are well known as areas that welcome trick or treaters from nearby ‘hoods.
    • Check with your child’s school if they’re organising any events of their own, or check in with the parents in your school group chat. Chances are, they are able to extend you an invite to their estate and join in their Halloween festivities.
    • Keeping your child’s bedtime in mind, it’s best to start early (6pm) to also avoid the night crowds. This way, you can conclude the outing by 9pm and still bag lots of treats!
    • Before setting off, get a full meal in and bring plenty of water to survive the trek. Insect repellant will come in handy too, especially for more forested estates!
    • To really get in the mood, prepare a playlist of classic Halloween tunes that’ll be sure to put your little ones in high spirits! 

    With many other Halloween-themed events in the works, it’s time to get booking before slots run out!
