ThePurpleSpatula

Its been so very boring this last week. We’re doing sugar work and I honestly couldn’t care less about it. Sure its a valuable skill that could set me apart, but still, it’s dead boring! I’ve realised that I’m really not into making showpieces at all. That said, they don’t look half bad.

Cast Sugar Showpiece

Pulled Sugar Showpiece

Next week: Blown sugar and Pastillage (ugh!)

Ok, the much awaited update. I’ll try not to overload everyone with pictures so I’ll try and keep it to one pic per product.

Feuille D'Automne

Savarin

Lemon Meringue Tartlette, Pistachio Ice Cream, Pistachio Nougatine and Raspberry Sauce

Gingerbread House

Olive and Basil Focaccia Ring

Chef Gert and my assessment Gateau (on the left!)

Strawberry and Grand Marnier Mousse Gateau (my assessment piece)

Chocolate Box (Assessment Part II)

Inside: Fork Dipped Marzipan

 So maybe I forgot to photograph my own chocolate box before wrapping it up and maybe I broke a bit off the edge while wrapping it up. But who’s to say really?

Till next week!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’m in the midst of exams right now so things are a little crazy. I promise I’ll update on the last few weeks once my exams are done. Wish me luck!
