Also Christmas is soon!
So excited to go back home and see my family! I know it has only been 3 months but i have learnt and grown so much that it seems like much longer.
Plus it seems weird to have christmas decorations and no snow!But that doesnt mean this City doesnt have christmas stuff everywhere!
Well I have some catching up to do! oops!
We moved onto frozen desserts, We made Ice cream, sorbet and granita !
Vanilla Ice Cream
Shocked to learn what the base is
Creme Anglaise Basically
Chocolate Sorbet
Lemon Granita
Delicious!
We then moved onto Confections!
I must admit that i love these.
We made Pate de fruits (pronouced Pat - Du- Fwee!)
I made Mango Pate De Fruit, and it was amazing!!
We also made Nougat.
Also Phenomenal!!
Although the first time my partner and i made it we did it wrong so it turned out bad. Second time around though it was dead on!
Then we moved onto Plating desserts.
This is something i need to improve on. First day i was thinking too much!
So Its the same components but just plated differently.
Buttermilk Panna Cotta, Raspberry Ganache, Macarons, Mango Agar Squilles Almonds with caramel Sugar strands and a berry coulis
The next day we plated pears.
This time i tried not to think much. And i was done in like 10 mins!
So this is a poached pear, with caramel sauce, chewy caramel twist, Nut Brittle, and Cherry Compote.
Last day of actual class in basic we made a bunch of cookies for the Childrens Hospital. We did individual cookies to go into baskets, some larger cookies with a backdrop and also decorated some rum soaked pound cakes to sell and raise money for the Childrens Hospital.
Well that has been my exciting life in Pastry School so far!
