Awhile back in bakeshop I made this fruit tart. I really liked the bright colors of the fruits.
I think cutting the fruits into the thin layer was one of the hardest thing to do. I was scared I would burn the pastry cream but it turned out pretty good. In my opinion the kiwi was a little sour. The raspberries were sweet, it kind of balanced the kiwi out. Overall I think the fruit tart was really good.

  Two weeks ago, I got to make my first Danish dough. It was a bit confusing at first, but the dough turned out really well. At first I was supposed to make Danishes, but then plans changed and I got to make Croissants. I had to take a whole day making the Croissants because I had to let the dough proof, and do the four/three folds. To make the final product, flaky and delicious I had to roll out some butter, and fold it in with the dough. Once I had finished the folds, I had to cut them into even triangles, and start rolling them up. I let them rise a little bit, and then baked them. I was really happy about the finished result, and how delicious they were. Next time I would want to add some kind of filling or glaze for the croissants. This week I made another Danish dough, and this time I made actual Danishes. After I cut them into squares and folded them, I added almond filling in the middle. Once I had baked the Danishes the filling had spread all over the Danish. Since that didn't work out I added a scoop of raspberry jam, and drizzled the Danish with icing. I am happy how they turned out but next time I would try to organize my time a bit more.
