Back Again

It feels so good to be baking again. The first few days were a little slow as we were all getting back into the routine. I have really enjoyed making level two items. I have made angel food cake, chocolate mousse, 5 minute artisan bread and mousselie buttercream. My angel food cake didn't turn out very well because I didn't cool it off upside down, so it collapsed back into the pan. My mousse didn't turn out the first time because I cooled off the chocolate too much before I added the whipping cream, so there was hard chunks of chocolate in there. it was a lot of fun making chocolate cages for my mousse. it is so hard keeping the mousse frozen but not letting the chocolate set to much that it can't be molded. I also made white velvet cupcakes and added mousselie buttercream for the frosting. I also made roses using Russian piping tips. They didn't turn out as well as I wanted them to but it still worked.
