Last Quarter - Week 2

Wow, the time is really flying.  I am enjoying this last quarter, even though it has been very fast paced and there isn't much time for anything else.  Here are some of the things that I have done for week two.  :)

This is a fresh fruit charlotte - it was VERY good.  Everyone loved it. :)
 This is called a Dobos Torte. Very rich torte, but so far was a favorite of several.  :)
 Fondant covering

 Royal icing work - practicing





 Plated desserts - strawberry bavarian with almond lace cookies and a chocolate rum sauce. This was one of the better plated desserts that I have ever made up to this point :)
 Biscotti
 Peanut Butter bread - this was a tester recipe and it turned out pretty good.
 Blackberry coffee cake and apple cinnamon coffee cake.
 Regular Coffee cake.
 Fruited bread pudding
 Bostoc - done wrong, but oh so good, mmmm...
 Blueberry, blackberry, and apple cinnamon muffins

A LOT to catch up on - hope you enjoy the pics

There are a bunch of pics that I need to catch up on.  I hope you enjoy the newest pics of cakes and stuff that I have made.  :)  Some I am happier with than others, lol.

This was for my nephew, Tyler's, birthday. He plays little league and so this was very fitting.
 Baby Shower #1
 I loved making this cake.  This one was for my husband, Josh, who loves golf. :)
 Baby Buggy Cookies from Shower #2
 Josh's uncle takes pics for the Indy 500 every year so I made him this for his birthday.
 Baby Shower #2 - my best friend here in Indy is expecting and the baby's name is going to be JB.  I am so excited for her!!! She loved this cake. :)
 I absolutely LOVE the daisys on this cake.
 This is the production from my bread class final exam.  There is ciabatta, challah, baguette, and croissants.
 I made cupcakes for my bestie to do a food photo shoot for her class.
 First cake done in Advanced Patisserie class this quarter.  I did orange because my daughter LOVES orange, and the reason I put welcome Katy is because she is moving up here in a few days and I am excited to have her finally here.
 I was practicing for a wedding cake that I am going to be doing in October.  She wanted the brown and burnt orange, with ribbon and dots.  The daisies were a surprise, and the surprise is on me, because now she wants them on her wedding cake, lol.

 I was part of a demo at Michaels for a Wilton class and I made and decorated this cake.  I fell in love with the fondant/gumpaste calla lilies. :)

 This was my chocolates class final exam application layout. :)
 Raspberry Ganache Marshmallow Puffs, Chocolate Dipped Pralines, and Turtle Truffles
 Chocolate dipped pralines
 Raspberry ganache marshmallow puffs
 Turtle truffles
 Cupcakes (regular and LARGE) for a birthday party for a beautiful 1 year old boy.
 Grandma Rose's 80th Birthday - Cake #1
 Grandma Rose's cake #2
 This is my first cake from European Cakes and Tortes class this quarter: Sacher Torte
 This one looks a little "busy" in my opinion, but it was for a demo on how to do all those decorations, lol.
