We get two weeks off for chirstmas and new years <3
So im currently in the airport waiting for my flight so i figured why not update you guys!
Advanced has gotten way better! The first day was very scary but everyday gets a little bit better.
So far i have been on the Confection Station, Production station, and Plated Desserts.
On the Confection Station i made and packaged Macarons, Marshmellow and Pate Du Fruits!
Then Production station
These days i made Sacher Tortes, a Strawberry White Chocolate Cheesecake, and mini apple pies
I find the swirl a very interesting way to make the layers between the cakes but its very smart as well!
Then plated Desserts. I find this the most challenging station but at the same time the more thrilling station. You get to design your own dessert.
I feel like you also learn the most in this station, just because the other stations is doing what we have learnt in basic but plated desserts is putting it all together and adding other elements to take it to the next level.
The two days i was on this station we had christmas party's so the dessert was already chosen for me but i had to think of garnishes and how to present it.
First day was Pasuwa's.
So i made cigarette tuiles, curled them around the handle of wooden spoons. Also took Gooseberrys and dipped them in sugar and then let it drip to make a string of sugar, and then sat then in a raised cooling rack to harden.
The next day the dessert was Puff pastry with Frangipane and then sliced apple, Caramel Creme Anglaise, Lace nut Tuille, Strawberry sorbet and a Sugar nest
To make the sugar nests you make cotton candy almost! It was so fun to do! I really enjoy doing sugar work but know very little about it so far.
I also played around with coolis art. Its a little bit of throwback to the 70s but still fun. I love all the old tricks! like lava cakes and baked alaska lol
Well thats its for now!
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! and a Happy New Year!
