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

One of my bestest buds ever, Axel, took an adventure to NYC and before he went, he made a bunch of clothes and put up a site.

http://axelkohler.com/main.html

So I thought I'd give him a shout out.

The site is not fully up yet, but check it out when it is, it should be up soon.

I'm looking forward to seeing his clothes he made and his pics.

A shout out to our friend, Hana Tran and her friend who took the photos .

(name unknown, sorry dude).

ByeBye Axel :( See you soon times.

Have an awesome adventure!

Semester 3, week 3, class 9

So we finished up our Mousse cakes last class.
Here they are.

Ze Cassis Chocorate



And ze Champagne Mousse cake with Cassis Jelly

mis placed posting

We actually did this I think in the third week or so.
We did cocoa paintings.
This was my first attempt. The final came out worse because I mixed the cocoa butter with oil and it was a disaster.

Semester 3, week 3, class 7 and 8

This week, we made mousse cakes.
My side of the class made champagne mousse.
The other side made cassis but we switch and get one each and decorate one each.
We did some prep day one and then some more on day two as well as put them together.
On day three we finished them up.
I don't have many pics but here are some of day one and two.

The side for the mousse cake.

Putting that shiz together.

It wasn't actual champagne.. Not gonna lie.. it was sparkling wine.

Mix that up.

The cake had a lining of black current puree in it.. mmm damn yeah it was guuud.


Top that shit off, make it nice and smooth, add some mirroir glaze (which I suck again, and didn't get a pic of... hey now, class gets busy... ) and your done for the day! w00t.

Annnnnd the left over mousse which was nasty as hell by itself. Barf.
I'll post pics of the finished cakes as soon as I get em off my homie Jess' cam.
