Frozen Desert Showdown - Sorbet

June 4, 2013

As the school year comes to an end, it's also the beginning of summer.
What's better than to have a cook off with frozen desert?
Our first battle was Sorbet
Luckily, after the class has voted, I won by one vote.
I probably just got lucky, but it gives me more motivation to make even better frozen desert for Round 2
For Sorbet, I chose to use Lychee
Though it was canned, you can still smell the aroma of this tropical lovely fruit.
(Fresh versions are a pain to eat due to the rough spiky skin)

Tiered Cake

June 4, 2013

The Cake Unit comes to an end, finishing off with our own individual Tiered Cake
I decided to make a natural waterfall, using icing and fondant to finish off.
Though I was rushed, the final product turned out to be fine.
I really love my waterfall.
(Again, I apologize for the single photo post)

Up next is the Pavlova, pretty much pure egg whites, no flour.

Which is a combination of Pavlova, Ice Cream, and More Cake
Unfortunately, I do not have photos for the lab.
Here, enjoy the only Pavlova Photo I have =P

After the delicious Cheesy labs,
We've started to make higher level cakes.

Grilled Cheese Lab

June 4, 2013

After February, we went on a field trip to buy Cheese!
I love cheese.
I love the taste, the smell, the texture, and how it mixes with other food when heated.
For this lab, we each chose a cheese and made grilled cheese sandwiches.
Most people voted the cheese I used as the most suitable cheese for Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.

Roasted Chicken

June 4, 2013

Anyone up for Thanksgiving Dinner? =D
It's a full Roasted Chicken.
Took a while but it was totally worth it.
The gravy and the juice of the chicken matched amazingly.
