United We Enjoy Pie

I saw a video of someone who made this pie so I recreated one myself!

Third Times A Charm

While I was studying abroad one of our assignments was to create the perfect entrmet. It could be any flavor you chose, and any design you wanted. I had never been given so much freedom on an assignment before, and I was absolutely thrilled to create my masterpiece! I decide to make a banana, chocolate, hazelnut flavored entrmet with toasted hazelnut and tempered chocolate as decoration. By the third attempt, I had perfected my flavor and design!

Study Abroad France Part 4: Breads

Hard to beat fresh baked breads on a daily basis! The French are famous for their baked goods, especially the baguette: a long, narrow French bread known for its crisp crust.

Study Abroad France Part 1: Entremets

 I spent my Spring Trimester Sophomore year studying abroad in a small town in the south of France! It was the best experience of my life! I highly suggest any aspiring pastry chef to at least visit France, their pastries are out of this world and so elegant. Here are some pictures of the sweets I made at Ecole Nationale Superieure de Patisserie. 

An entremet literally translates to " between servings" but is often reffered to as the dessert: a mousse bassed cake with many layers. For the final I had to create my own flavor and design. I made a banana hazelnut pictured directly below.

These chocolate cupcakes are topped with peanut butter frosting, drizzled in ganache, and have an Oreo baked inside!
