Hot And Cold Desserts


 This class was also known as the ice cream class! I churned fresh ice cream, sorbets, frozen yogurt, and gelato everyday. By the end I had made both a Bomb Glace and Baked Alaska, which are both ice cream cakes covered in chocolate glaze and toasted meringue, respectfully. The hot element came into play when I made cobblers, crisps, and crumbles.

Wedding Cakes

 I got the privilege to help make the wedding cake on the left and design one all by myself on the right. The four tiered cake is made with buttercream piping and a combination of many different flowers. The three tiered cake on the right uses fondant with royal icing design and gum paste orchids flowing down.

Vegan Cookies

 So I took a class called How Baking Works. And for the project we were asked to make a recipe with dietary restrictions. So I made vegan chocolate chip cookies with no white sugar or white flour. They actually turned out very well, most people liked them better than the original recipe. Can you tell the difference between the two?
