i was physically not nervous but mentally, yes i am nervous =x i didnt sleep well at all even though i went to bed at 2230. when i woke up my eyes were still red from the lack of sleep :(
anyhow, i got to school and i wasn't feeling at all nervous and hoping to get what cake etc..i just wanna get it over and done with. I am so glad my class was the first to have the exam instead of having to wait as long as next tuesday for the exam.
As usual when we were in the kitchen we had to pick a number and i got Fraisier (which in everyone's opinion is the easiest to bake). I wasnt expecting myself to get that. i had been practising hard on Opera and Sabrina. Oh well, thank you Lord for the blessings :) It all went smoothly. All my classmates were awesome as all of us finished on time. During the exam, people are stress and rushing here and there. As for me, because i have got Fraisier (the less time consuming cake) i just did it in a calm and steady manner. =x I wasnt very satisfied with my cake as it is nowhere near perfection.
Why do I think the cake is nowhere near perfection:
#1 Slicing of sponge was not straight.
#2 I not not have enough sponge for the centre of my cake (hmm does it mean that my sponge did not rise? but my batter didn't collapse and the air bubbles in the sponge were perfect)
#3 I forgot to chill my cake with the cream filled before placing the top sponge.
#4 I placed my top sponge upside down -.-
#5 My royal icing was watery when i piped on the marzipan (it was perfect texture on the parchment paper when i tested it. I swear it was!!!)
Anyway, we shall see what chef says during the debriefing on the 8 Sep. i will update the result then :) Chances of failing will be low. But chances of getting good grade will be low as well. I will think my Practical result will be 65/100 maximum :( oh well at least it's a pass.
