Petit Fours - Week 6

                             

Tuesday-Thursday:

         This week we had Petit Fours.  It was a collection of cakes and cookies; very different from our petit fours class we had at JWU.  We made a variety of assorted petit fours and cookies, including pate sable, cremeux, mini tarts, a passion fruit-mango cake with passion fruit cream as garnish, macaroons, Speculoos, Madelines, and much more.  Each group of two made a different flavor of each to provide an extreme variety of tastes and colors for our final buffet.  It was a fun week, we knew the techniques for the recipes so we were able to complete more than the chef thought we could in three days.  

         My Thursday was even better as my package showed up earlier than expected.  It was supposed to arrive in the evening, and at that point I would have already left for Paris (a day earlier than originally planned).  It showed up in the morning, while I was in labs, and when the administrative came in to view our buffet, I asked if my package had arrived and it had.  The biggest smile ever, my cure had arrived, and I could start really feeling better.

         This evening we left for Paris.  We (a group of 8) will be there all weekend, Thursday evening through Sunday morning.  We all are going to Disney Paris on Friday.  Such an exciting weekend ahead; I can’t wait!
