Semester 6, week 6, class 19

ChaChaCha.
Its a citrusy week..
Lemon snow, tri-citrus glaze....lemon butter...uhhmm..it was good actually..I swear..
Sooo,. day one, we actually just didn't do a whole lot, other than prep sauces, and pistachio brittle.

good stuffz.
We also made the shells for our tri citrus meringue tarts, and the bottoms of our soon to be lemon butter meringue.. or 'swiss meringue dessert' as its called.


Semester 6, week 6, class 18

Another end of the week plating ...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOonoot.

So, we plated the smaller mousse desserts...
As well as making one of the most ridik things.. and insanely lame to make, 'canals'.
Hey, take two spoons and pass this shit between them, and get angrier and angrier as each time passes that you do it and 90% of the time you fuck it up...
even the teacher doesn't do this stupid shit, he has a 'canal scoop'... cheater.
Anyways. Pics. Yes.
So got some uhm, mousse canals going on in a tuille basket there, and yeah.
Poached pear action on the side ... Oh under that basket some raspberry coullis...
Annnd then on the side over there got some.. I think.. I can't quite remember...ok, w/e doesn't matter, some white sauce, lol (how pro of me?..gimme a break too many sauces at once...) with passion fruit in it. And a lamo/orange puff pastry straw. Whew. Oh, cant forget... a slice of orange and stawburrz.


So, smaller mousse plated dessert.
More pears.
More puff pastry sticks.
More coullis.
More tuille... Same ol' shit. Diff day.

Oh yeah.. It was fucking good.

Semester 3, week 5, class 13

Did some insannnnely deeelish mooooozeeee cakes this week.
Two diff kinds, one a lime and one cheese mouse cake.
They both had a weird apple jelly in them that tasted like apple sauce with a weird ass consistency.

The base of the cake. Crushes up baked ginger dough.
Same as above. Just not crushed.
Cheeeeese!
Filling in the cheese mousse

Semester 3, week 4, class 10



Probably isn't in order AT ALL because my pics do NOT upload the way they should...
but whatever, pics of shit, it's all good, who gives a fuck?

Pretty sure when I came back from thanksgiving, we did...
Pithivier, which is basically just a shitload of almond cream under some pastry.

Roll dat shiz out


There's almond paste under thurrr

Bake it up, annnnd you're good to go. Nomnomnomnomnom

Made some badass tasting cookies, Palmier...
they might not look like it, but they were mighty tasty.

We also made this hideous thing. And yet again, it tasted good.
The school messed up the recipe and got us to use something we weren't, therefore not letting it set properly... Most likely why they look so weird?
FLIP IT
HUZZZUHHH
