Fruits of my labor this week....
I finally got around to taking pics of some stuff I make in class. Still need to work on my piping skills (my hand keeps shaking!), but overall, not bad for a novice… Sorry I didn’t get a chance to resize the pics yet.
This is a Chocolate Passion Mousse cake on a layer of Jaconde with a passion fruit mirror center and chocolate spray coating.
This is the same as the above, except it’s on a Chocolate Hazelnut Daquoise, no filling and with a dark chocolate glacage (I decorated this one…kinda looks like a Hostess cupcake.)
This is a 2-layer mousse cake: Raspberry & Cream Cheese Bavarian cake on a layer of almond cake with a raspberry mirror center, topped with a raspberry glaze.
This is the same as the above, except the layers are reversed, no mirror and it’s coated with white chocolate spray (I did this one, too!).
Ok, I think I’m ready to take on my nephew’s first birthday cake!

Do you call your teacher "chef?" That reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when Kramer's friend insisted that people call him Maestro.

You've got some good looking cakes. Nice work TuRbULeNt! :beret: < there is artist in you .
I hired this guy 3 months ago, and just made him manager. I think it was because he was an executive chef before. Once a week he cooks on sundays and we pork out! you're gonna make a guy lucky someday.

Bleah...that's where you're wrong, my friend....I've nto a single creative bone when it comes to decorating or plating....my skills stink and I'm always so nervous....nice to know I created a nice illusion though. =) Just need more practice. A LOT more practice...

Hm, we call our professors by their first names. To be honest, I've never heard a professor insist otherwise. I guess it just depends on the person.
