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.
