It’s been a busy few weeks. Somehow lesson 9 has jumped to 16 and with only a few classes left Basic Pastry is reaching its final stages. Last week we took the written exam, next week marks the end of classes, and the following week is the practical exam. Not everything I made has been perfect, lumpy ganache and deformed brioche heads, and not everything I made is a dish I enjoyed, raisin biscuits and mango charlotte, but I’ve been learning a lot, baking new pastries, and improving my meringue whipping skills! I leave you with a photo essay of everything I’ve made thus far. Enjoy!
Lesson 10: Batons de Marechaux and Palets aux Raisins
Lesson 11: Chocolate and Orange Tartelettes
Lesson 12: Moka
Lesson 13: Pain au Chocolats et Croissants
Lesson 14: Brioche et Pain aux Raisins
Lesson 15: Mango Charlotte
Lesson 16: Mogador, Chocolate Mousse Cake
