the long awaited post!

so sorry for not updating lately. this month had been a busy month. friends coming over from SG to visit, school and exam. finally i get to catch my breath :)

to cut long story short, i shall just post all the demos and practicals that i had gone through so far..hmm very very far as i had already ended my basic patisserie course. very fast right?!!!! i know! :( and the debriefing (result will be out this friday! 好可怕啊!

wahh my last post about sch is since wine tasting session... pai sei pai sei...

ok here goes. after wine tasting we learnt about bread making which was absolute fun! i enjoyed kneading the bread and doing designs out of them. This is practical 10! halfway through my basic course already (and yes i m only posting now)!

pretty right?!!! keke cant wait to make more of them at home :)

Next up Demo 11 -  Basic Cakes - Light Fruit Cake, Lemon Cake, Traditional Almond and Pistachio Cake, Madeleines

I love the lemon cake with lots of lemon drizzle..hmmm lemony crumbly cake..


Demo 12 - Patisserie Cake 1 - Gateau Alhambra (Moist chocolate and hazelnut sponge layered with chocolate ganache and enrobed in chocolate glaze)


our very 1st cake demo. This is obviously by chef with the pretty rose marzipan.

and my cabbage look a like 'rose' marzipan and wobbly 'alhambra' writing....

and i shouldn't have left the cake in the fridge. the chocolate glacage as well as ganache hardens hence the cake doesnt taste as nice in my opinion. Slightly too rich for my liking as well :)


Another cake lesson like the next day! haha all of us were so sick of cakes already (not making them but eating them) haha..


Demo 13 (Patisserie Cake 2) - Genoise a la Confiture de framboises (Genoise sponge layered with raspberry jam) Genoise a la Roulade (Genoise sponge roll)

my presentation was ermm horrible but the cake taste good. really like it much better than Alhambra. however just as fattening (coz it's buttercream!)

followed by a happening week with friends coming from SG consecutively..it was fun but super busy with meeting up friends followed by school and friends again...which i will post later..


ok now  Demo 14 (Patisserie Cakes III) Gateau chantilly aux fraises (Fresh strawberry and chantilly cream gateau) Gateau foret noire (Black forest gateau)


yes i know cakes AGAIN!

as mine is super ugly like SUPER so no pictures to save myself from embarrassment. 


Demo 15 (Bavarians & Mousses I) - Passion fruit Bavrian cream encased in light vanilla biscuit sponge


I do not really like mousse cakes but they are pretty i wouldnt deny.

here is mine which i left it outside instead of the fridge and it spoiled (too many cakes in the fridge) chef said i did well with the chocolate fan :)

 Demo 16 Charlotte aux Cassis / aux Fraises
