I have now been in class for just over 2 weeks and so far it has been amazing! All the Chef's seem like awesome teachers and it's great to be learning alongside people who are as passionate about baking and cake decorating as I am! So far we have covered Sanitation, Baking History and Technology and Basic Skills. This week we started celebration cakes. What we've done so far is fairly basic but I know things will soon be getting much more complicated and involved, and I can't wait!
Here's me looking super snazzy in my brand new FPS uniform! As one of my Chef's put it "You're gonna look stupid in the hat, just accept it and move on".
This is the kitchen I will get to work in for the next 4 months. It is absolutely gorgeous and has everything a baker could possibly want!
This was our first decorating project of the program. A Birthday cake for a man with a fondant bow. It was fairly straightforward but fun to make! Unfortunately it was a dummy cake so I didn't have anything to take home for my roommates. Sorry guys!
This is un-related to anything we were doing in class right now but I felt I had to include it. One of the Chef's was working on a chocolate showpiece in the kitchen and was using a chocolate tempering machine, which I have never seen or used before. I have never craved chocolate so much in my life, what with the steady stream of chocolate poring out of it and the amazing chocolaty smell the permeated the entire room. I hope we'll get to use one at some point!
Well guys thanks for reading! I'll be updating regularly to let you all know how things are going at the French Pastry School. Until next time!
Happy baking,
Kayla
