I did some lemon swirl cookies. Before baking the cookies, I add some sugar on the tops of the cookies because I ate some lemon swirl cookies I expect them to be a little bit sweet and they weren't. I sprinkled some granulated sugar to make them a little bit sweet after being baked and garnished them with confectioners' sugar. I guess I use personal preference for the cookies to taste better, only a little.

Mrs Russell's Fruit Tarts

 

An EA from GVC; Mrs. Russell did a few fruit tarts today and I helped her with a good design which a flower design on one of the tarts. Also she added some simple syrup onto her tarts because we ran out of apricot glaze, but her fruit tarts look pretty as food and a dessert and culinary design. I just hope that this design might be in great influence and to Mrs. Russell as well. :)

Three Chocolate Souffles

 

 

I did a few chocolate soufflés today, but one of them did overflow when baking in the oven. It took me some time for me to make them, luckily I got them finished and ate one for dessert with the quiche pie and chocolate milk (small). Maybe I can do a little bit more once the soufflés are cooled down mostly or are they okay just the way they are? Perhaps they're okay just the way they are. :)

Surprise Quiche!

Yesterday at 1:30 in the afternoon, Chef Lindhorst came and told all of us in the bake shop that he needed 30 quiches for a takeout order the next day. So immediately Emily F and Caitlyn went to work on the pie crust. I got started on the filling for the quiche. We decided on a filling of bacon, cheese and green onion. We made 30 small pies crusts and the filling ready and in the fridge one hour later! So this morning all we needed to do was fill and bake the quiche! They turned out great!

Cakes, Cookies, and EXAM!?!?!

A few weeks ago I made a couple of cakes, pies, and even some cookies. I have decorated a cake for mothers day, made a small pink cake for my uncle who has come to visit Canada, and I have made a fruit pie and fruit tart lately. They all turned out great, and tasted amazing. I cant believe that a new school has this amazing equipment for us to use, and such a amazing teachers to teach us cool and useful things that can help us in the future. It has been a great 4 months in this vocational program and I will try to take it again next year. The final exam is coming up really quick, and we all need to study a little or a lot for it. But in general I think I am going to do great on the exam, I did on the mid-term. It has been an amazing 2nd semester for me, even the best one yet, I hope that next year will be as fun as this one.

Much Fun Indeed xD

This is my 4th month in the bake shop and I really love it. the class mates are really friendly :D and the Chef teaches amazing methods of baking items. I have been making Crepes, bagels, Olive Focaccia, and also much more cookies and cake pops. I really love how nice the kitchen looks like, and I get amazed by it every time I see it. it is a great opportunity to be in the bake shop and have such fun baking amazing products. I have been doing more products lately, and they have turned out amazing, good, and some even not too great, but everything will turn out great with lots of practice, and patience.

Field Trip to Steinbach

Last week we went in a field trip to Natures Farms in Steinbach. They sell eggs and pasta. We got to walk through the area where they make all the noodles and the owner explained a lot of it to us. They do it very differently than most places. Its very organic and they don't add all kinds of preservatives. Afterwards, we ordered pizza for lunch and then drove back to the school.
