Fudgy chocolate chip cookies.

Awhile ago I helped my sister make cookies for a school project. She decided on fudgy chocolate chip cookies. They turned out good and tasted great!

ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT

       I can't believe we only have one month left. I don't want this to be over. I've loved working in a bakeshop and learning so many new things. Who knew that working all day long could be fun!!!!

      These past few weeks the desserts I've been making have become slightly more difficult technique wise, but they don't seem like they have become any harder to make!

      My favorite things I've made in the last 2-3 weeks would have to be a pie, some cheesecakes, a raspberry mousse, and cheese soufflés.

     We had an event order last week and they needed a certain amount of desserts, including a cheesecake.

Then, we had a practical test on pies. I decided that I was going to make a chocolate cream pie. The procedure wasn't hard at all, its was actually quite fun!

Raspberry Mousse

       The  raspberry mousse was a check list item. There is a list of things that we need to learn how to make by the end of the semester, and mousse's were one of the items. Making the mousse was easy and a lot of fun. Its probably one of my favorite items I've made in the bakeshop!!

     The cheese soufflés were the hardest things that I've made in the last 3 weeks. They had a long procedure and if they didn't get baked properly, they wouldn't turn out. I used a Swiss cheese for the soufflé, and I'm glad I did, because they tasted amazing!

 I'm defiantly going to miss being in the bakeshop. Only about 15 days left! Can't wait until next year to come back. Its defiantly been the best semester I've ever had :)

 

 

Hello There

 I've been in the bakeshop for almost a whole semester and so far I'm loving it.
My favorite station is definitely cakes and custards because baking cakes is pretty easy and I also really enjoy decorating cakes. Yeast is a fun station too. It is probably more tiring then the rest of the stations but still its fun. Pie station is pretty good too and also pretty easy if you know what you're doing. I also like trying different fillings for pies. Cookie station is one of the easiest station but still very enjoyable. And finally there is Muffin And Manager. Making muffins isn't to hard just the manager work in the beginning wasn't the most fun but its getting better by time.

Cakes and Desserts :)

It was mothers day a week ago, and I have made a 2 layer cake, filled with cream cheese icing, and glazed with chocolate cream cheese icing. I topped it of with Chantilly cream, and raspberry sauce. I have also added sliced almonds to the cake to make it look a little bit better.
This program is very interesting, and very cool. I get the chance to create amazing desserts everyday, and also bread products too. :) My classmates and I get along very good, and help each other out when we need to.
We had our mid term exams a while ago, and I made a loaf of bread, 6 soup buns, 5 raspberry scones, and 6 muffins. it was a very easy exam, and I had a lot of fun doing it. this is my first time having a practical exam and it was very different, because Mrs. Nikkel marked us on the texture of the product, the taste of the product, and the look of the final product, as well as working at our stations, cleanliness, and how fast and accurate we were working.

Meringues of Power, Courage and Wisdom
Hi :D I'm trying to master all three meringues which a the common or French meringues (Wisdom), the Swiss meringues (Courage) and the Italian meringues (Power). I already did both the common (which are on the pictures) and the Swiss meringues. Even though it's messy, but it fun as well when you use your creativity for different shapes with your meringues no matter which kind you make. As long as you have creative mind with you, you might have making those products. :)

  These shapes with the common (French) meringues is a good example of that you can be creative with this product. Even a heart is something to make as well and I saw someone else's meringues, which had food colour which means that you could be creative with more than just shape and like with food and baked items it's a work of art that certain people would like.

Pear almond tarts

Yesterday I made 3 pear almond tarts. The base is just sweet tart dough with an almond cream filling topped with pears. They turned out and hopefully tasted good!
