I started off my Sophomore Year with the dreaded Cakes class! Many Baking & Pastry Majors look forward to Cakes class because for some ungodly reason, they have an aspiration to become the next "Cake Boss" and open a fancy cake shop. That's awesome for you "cake" people (yes, for you non-bakers a "cake person" is a category of baker) however, I at the start of this class... trembled in fear at the sight of icing spatulas and butter-cream. I will note that following this class, I felt much stronger in my cake-skills... but I also think that is apparent if you look at my progress from the first to last day. So... without further adieu... let me take you on a cake walk! (Wow...that was cheesy.)
First Cake of Class- Hazelnut Torte- Gluten Free
Second Cake of Class- Animal Cake Day- Chocolate Genoise with Rasp. Filling and Italian Buttercream
Third Cake of Class- Present-Box Cake- Vanilla Cake with Rasp. Jam, Italian Buttercream, & Fondant
Fourth Cake of Class- Wedding Cake- Vanilla cake, filled with French buttercream and raspberry jam, topped with Italian buttercream and Marzipan Roses.
Fifth Cake of Class- Winter Wonderland Competiton- Vanilla Poundcake with rum simple syrup, and Italian buttercream. Covered in fondant and topped with marzipan creatures aka "Marzipanimals."
