I'll be posting school life blurbs, art, random thoughts and other interests here!

We made two-barrel cakes for our last week (basically wedding cakes). A fun project we were able to critique and grade ourselves. I could've done better. I did a tropical theme for my cake as I'm well more than ready for summer to be here.

This week was FULL of things to do. First, we had to do a themed charcuterie board for our cheese and wine class as our final. Then, for our skills class we stretched our muscles and served mini bites to almost 200 guests in the building.

We did a few different plated desserts this week, with caramelized banana, vegan pavlova, lychee sorbet, coconut cream, and passionfruit flavors. I sadly snapped one of the pavlovas plating the ice cream, but my chocolate was perfect temper! ✌️

We made lots of goodies, including dulche de leche bon bon made with goats milk, rice crispy bars with caramel, little entrements with sable (cookie) and almond gianduja we processed ourselves, and finally, a huge assortment of fruit jelly chews!

We got to use an Enrobe Machine for the first time! We made marshmallows with a Tahini ganache on a hazelnut cookie, and we hand-dipped some chocolates made with a strawberry jelly and gianduja ganache. My milk chocolate temper wasn't great tho.😩

We made lots of mini things, including a coconut financier, a caramelized white chocolate mousse mini-cake with pear jelly cubes, and a reconstituted gianduja sable breton. We were kind of rushing so my gianduja piping didn't come out so well.😩

I had a spur of inspiration and curiosity recently. Using my learning skills from school, cross referencing techniques, and my understanding of flavors, I was able to achieve my own honey peach BBQ sauce and a brown sugar spice rubbed pork shoulder.

We made an almond, candied orange, and dried cherry nougat. My first time doing nougat!!! Also, we made sandwich cookies with a chocolate caramel filling as well as some toffee bites dipped in chocolate and almonds in the back there. So exciting!

Oops, almost forgot to post this week! This week we made Penuche (tastes like praline fudge), passionfruit mango caramels, and jasmine and rose flavored bon bons. The bon bons failed unfortunately but the caramels and fudge came out nice. Yum!

We made another mousse cake this week, with white chocolate, blackberry curd, and chestnuts. We also made a lil orange flavored marble cake with espresso ganache and candied mandarin orange slices. Very tasty things this week.

We made Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse cake with Hazelnut Brittle, and some small Chocolate Orange Vienne cups with Chocolate Hazelnut streusel cubes. I'm so happy with how the smear came out. My first time doing chocolate leaves and feathers too!

Episode 2 was unfortunately cancelled because I was very ill last week so my apologies. However, this week we made a lovely vanilla bean raspberry tart, and blackberry macaron cakes. Macaron batter is very hard to get perfect and needs practice.

First, we have a very fancy éclair with rose, matcha, lychee, and almond flavors. Next, we have lemon poppy twists. And finally we made a few almond Pithivier, which is puff pastry with an almond paste mixture inside. First week was a success!

On this weeks menu, we have Apple Danish, Chocolate Babka, Poppy Seed Bagels, and a Falafel box with a lot of veggie salads and garlic sauce. Today was very tiring but MAN was it worth it for the Babka.
