Well folks, we’ve come to the end of another school block, so you know what that means. More culinary school snapshots!!
The cakes section was a ton of fun and incredibly informative (if not down right confusing sometimes – there are so many different kinds of cakes and icings, and each one is only a tiny bit different from the other).
Here are a few pics from my adventures in cake making. Enjoy!
Carrot cake with cream cheese icing and marzipan carrots
German chocolate cake
Traditional yule log with meringue mushrooms and marzipan holly
Chocolate peanut butter and Coconut cupcakes
Sacher torte
Chocolate mousse joconde cake
Tiramisu cake
Lime and black pepper rice pudding dacquoise cake
Espresso mousse joconde mini cake
Petit fours – carrot cake, red velvet cake and traditional raspberry
More petit fours – opera torte, dulce de leche and macarons
Great work, they all look and sound delicious! It took me a minute to realize the espresso mini cake was a cake, not a mug!
Hi Sweetie….
Very impressive work….. For the Yule Log, do you have a barking tool, or, was that all sculpted freehand? Loved the mushrooms!
WOW! You did fantastic! I bet that was an awesome experience too.
All of your hardwork looks delicious
Thanks all!
Daddy – actually we just use a plastic fork for the texture on the outside of the yule log. I’m sure you could use a fancy gadget, but a fork works quite well.
