Hello everyone! I hope you had a delicious holiday season!

I know this is a little late, but the last class I completed was Advanced Baking and Pastries. I really loved the first week of it! The next two weeks were ok, but making truffles, marshmallows, and toffee is not the most exciting thing to do. This class confirmed that I definitely want to go into more pastries after school. So here are some photos from the class:

Banded Chocolate Mousse Cake

Charlotte Royale (looks like a brain to me)

Crepes Suzette

Frozen Souffle

Creme Brulee (my chocolate writing is not the greatest)

Chocolate Pot de Creme w/ Earthquake Cookies


Candy Platter

L'opera Cake

Sacher Torte

Reduced Sugar Apple Spice Cake

Making Truffles

Truffle and Toffee Platter

Flan w/ Sugar Cage

As with all my classes/dishes, there are triumphs and failures. I think my favorite part was plating the desserts and playing with the sauce designs. I learned that simple is better.

I'm currently in my Advanced Garde Manger class. I will let you guys know how that goes!

As for now, I have to look for a restaurant job to fulfill my externship requirement. I plan on staying at the restaurant I get hired into for a little while if all things go well. Wish me luck!
