Today we had to complete our entremet. It was our second and last try before the final is due next Tuesday. The first time I made mine, it wasn't the best it could be, the layers weren't divided correctly and didn't provide correct textures, so back to the drawing board. I replaced the brownie layer with a chocolate crumble/sable, which allowed for a crunch factor. My coulis also needed to be tweaked. The first time I placed fresh sliced strawberries on top of the frozen coulis, which hindered slicing the cake. So the second time I cooked the strawberries with the coulis, and allowed them to freeze together, also allowing the strawberries a better texture when slicing. My timing wasn't great on the first try, however with the second time, I was better prepared and knew my outline.

-Chocolate Crumble/Sable
-Vanilla Bavarian
-Chocolate Dacquoise
-Strawberry Coulis
-Vanilla Bavarian
-Glaze
My entremet was also poorly garnished at the first attempt, but I was able to execute my plan for garnish with the second attempt. I feel ready and able to successfully complete the final entremet next week.
