Final Dessert Table Presentation

I chose a Casino Theme for my presentation. The chef thought it was very original. For my table I made Chocolate Meringue filled with Raspberry Jam. Also Banana Cream Pie, Chocolate Cake, Pecan Diamonds shaped like heart, diamond, spade and club. I made a Battenburg Cake with the colors Blue and Green and the last thing I made were Fruit Tartlets with Pastry Cream.

I am making my best friend Amy's wedding cake, she loves chocolate so it was a natural fit to make a chocolate cake for her. So a couple of weeks a ago i brought her this cake to test. She loved it! So the next step is making her cake for the wedding which is June 12.

Mousse Cake!

Chocolate Mousse Cake

This cake was so fun to make. The words could not describe what it tasted like, um Chocolate.

Meringue!

French Meringue

In class I got to experiment with 3 different types of Meringue, Italian, Swiss and French. I found the Italian Meringue to be very challenging, once I got to the Swiss and French I found I really like making these. My favorite was the Chocolate French Meringue tasted awesome.

Petit Four Glace

I know another bad picture, but these are actually a little difficult to make. I struggled with the poured Fondant over the top of them. Luckily I took at as a challenge and made them look pretty.

More Chocolate!

Chocolate Madelines

They reminded me of Twinkies, but I would never say that outright. These were actually a little difficult to make for me. In the end I pulled it out and they looked and tasted fantastic.

Not more than 2 bites!

Florentine's

Made with a sweet dough lots of sugar pistachio nuts, cranberries and walnuts. They were very yummy, the kids eat them up before I even had time to make dinner.

Pecan, Pecan and more Pecan!

Pecan Diamonds, my Husband todds favorite thing in the world. This is made with a sweet dough for the bottom baked on a cookie sheet. Once cooled cut into shapes of diamonds or any shape you desire. I like to use little bite size cut outs this way they can be package for movie night. I like to eat them instead of popcorn.

Chocolate Chiffon

I know bad picture! Chocolate Chiffon my new friend, this was by far the most challenging pie I have done to date in my class. Loved the design of this pie and scored a 100 on my test.

Pies!

Sweet Potato Pie





Squash Pie

Both of these pies are really good, my family knows that I am not a huge fan of sweet potato. I really liked it once I tried it. Squash has always been a huge fan of mine, just now in pie form.

Fresh Fruit Anyone!

Fresh Fruit Tart with Pastry Cream as filling. If anyone knows me I love pastry cream, this tart did not last very long once it got home.

More yummy Tarts!

Maple Walnut Tart! I am finally starting get a hand of this class. I am having so much fun being introduced to all these awesome desserts. My Final project at the end of this class is going to be a Dessert Table Presentation. Hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do.

Tart Time! Yummy

Apple Custard Tart, this is one of my husbands favorite tarts that I have made. The only difficult thing for me making this tart was the dough roll out, for some reason the dough was being mean to me. In the end it turned out wonderfully.

Yummy Dessert Table!
