BUTTER CREAM LAB

OMG!!! IT WASN'T SO BAD.... FINALLY.... MAKING BUTTER CREAM WAS PRETTY EASY... NOW I HATE HOW MUCH BUTTER REALLY GOES INTO MAKING BUTTER CREAM.. I CAN GET SICK JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.... OMG!!!!MAJOR CALORIES.... IT FEELS LIKE I'VE GAINED 50 POUNDS IN LAB...... MAKING THE SIMPLE SYRUP WAS A LITTLE STRESSFUL. IT TOOK FOREVER FOR THE TEMP TO REACH 240.... THERE HAS TO BE A FASTER WAY... BUT OVER ALL I LOVE THAT I LEARNED HOW TO DECORATE MY CAKE... I TRIED BUTTONS AND ROSES... I'M EXCITED.... MY CAKE WAS A LITTLE SLANTED... BUT ITS REALLY GOOD

CAN IT BE

FOR THANKSGIVING I WANT TO TRY A BREAD PUDDING WITH A WHITE WHISKY SAUCE....I HAD IT A THE WILD FIRE RESTAURANT IN OAK BROOK, AND IT WAS SO DELICIOUS .. ANOTHER THING ON MY LIST IS A GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE. OVER THE HOLIDAY I REALLY WANT TO PLAY WITH ABOUT 3 TO 4 DESSERTS. BAKING AND PASTRY KINDA LEFT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH, BECAUSE MY DESSERTS NEVER NEVER CAME OUT LIKE I WANTED THEM TO ... SO OVER THE HOLIDAY I MUST REDEEM MYSELF...

COOKING AT MY INTERN

AT THE HOLIDAY INN THIS WEEK I REALLY GOT A CHANGE TO MAKE A CHANGE. THE FOOD IS SO BLAND. THE ASKED ME TO MAKE THE BANANA PUDDING ... OMG..... I JUMPED TO THIS , THIS IS MY SIGNITURE DISH.. EVERYTING MY FAMILY GET TOGETHER THEY INSIST ON ME MAKE BANANA PUDDING.... SO AT THE HOLIDAY INN I HADE TO MAKE A HUGE PAN OF BANANA PUDDING AND IT WAS A HIT... THE CHEF WAS REALLY TAKING BACK.. HE KNOW MY BAKING AN PASTRY CLASS IS MY DEATH. BUT I GUESS IF YOU DO ANYTHING A THOUSAND TIME, YOU WILL ONLY GET BETTER AT IT... I MUST PRACTICE ON MY OTHER DESSERTS TO MAKE THEM BETTER...

AND THE BEAT GOES ON

I'M HOPING THIS WEEKEND TO GET A LOT OF EXTRA PRACTICE FOR MY FINAL.... I FIGURE IT I MAKE WHAT ON THE FINAL A COUPLE OF TIME EVERYTHING WILL GO SMOOTH NEXT WED.... I'M REALLY NERVES ABOUT THOSE DARN SWANS ...... A PASTRY CHEF TOLD ME TO TRY TO MAKE TEAR DROPS SHAPES FOR THAT DARN BIRD WINGS, AND IT WILL LOOK SO MUCH BETTER, THEN WHAT I WAS DOING ..MY SWAN CAME OUT LOOKING LIKE A RAT.. SO WE WILL SEE....

BUTTERCREAM

I CAN'T WAIT FOR LAB ON WED. I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT MAKING BUTTER CREAM.... ITS SO YUMMY..... AT MY INTERN AT THE COUNTRY CLUB, THAT'S WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO IS THE WEDDING CAKE. EACH NIGHT AROUND 8PM THE BRIDE CUTS THE CAKE, THEN THEY BRING IT TO THE BACK FOR US TO CUT UP FOR THERE GUEST, AND OF COARSE ITS ALWAYS EXTRA CAKE FOR US. MY FINGERS ARE ALWAYS CROSS HOPING THE BRIDE PICK BUTTER CREAM ICING ... CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE HOW THING TURN OUT.....HMMMMMMM

CAKES.... LAB

On wed it was interesting. That butter cake was so good. making it wasn't as bad as i thought. i couldn't stop licking the bowl. i made a mistake i had it sitting upside down to cool. and the second one ended up falling...... chef mark misunderstood what i was asking. but it was all good... my lemon curb is a little runny, i'm hopeing it can be fix and saved next wed... when i got to class i was a little stressed because i was the last one to come to class due to traffic. i wasn't late but every one had a jump start on me so i was feeling a little rushed putting everything together.... i'm hopeing chef mark helps me when it come to decorating my cake.... lord knows i need major help.............
