Class 3- Entremets

After my initial fear of cakes wore off in the cakes class... moving over to entremets was exciting. It was also slightly terrifying. But, after the first shaky day which you will see below... I actually got the hang of things! This was probably the first class that I felt truly talented in. 

Entremets 1- Chocolate Mousse Entremets-Flavored it "Chunky Monkey". The bottom layer is a short dough crust with banana jam, followed by rum soaked chocolate sponge cake, whipped peanut butter, another layer of rum soaked chocolate sponge cake, and chocolate mousse. Glazed with chocolate glaze and topped with modeling chocolate roses and chocolate piping.

Entremets 2-I flavored mine pistachio raspberry with a hint of orange-pekoe tea. The layers are: a shortbread crust spread with pistachio jam, followed by a checkerboard of chocolate and vanilla rum-soaked sponge cake spread with pistachio jam, raspberry Bavarian cream, and orange-pekoe tea glaze. The entremets is wrapped in a pistachio-raspberry jocande and garnished with a tuille cookie, chocolate piping, crushed pistachio, and glazed fruit.

Entremets 3- Baumkuchen entremets. The outer layer is baumkuchen cake filled with a Greek yogurt filling, raspberry mousse, chocolate ganache, and strawberries. Garnished with fresh fruit, chocolate twists, and shortbread cookies.
Entremets 4- Petit Gateaux-Japonaise disks layered with chocolate mousse disks, rum-soaked chocolate sponge cake, and raspberry. Filled with a white chocolate mousse and cocoa-sprayed. Topped with chocolate and Japonaise garnish.
