Spring Break

Most people go to some tropical place to get away fro spring break. I however already live by the beach and decided to do what I love, bake! I took orders from friends and family and made some delicious treats.

Death By Chocolate Cake

Peach Pie

Peanut Brittle

Cheese Danish

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.

I made this adorable snowman cake at a Christmas themed skills class. I based the snowman off of the popular movie Frozen! Olaf wants to give you warm hugs!
