Almond sponge cake with Swiss meringue buttercream and short dough cookies
Basically, this cake was designed as practice. It was an exercise in slicing layers, preparing sponges, making buttercream and assembly. I will not lie, I shed a few tears. It was difficult, emotional, and took FOREVER! Worth documenting because in a few months this will be child's play.
Speaking of play...

More caramel decorationsWe got to play with molten hot lava caramel! This was so much fun! For some reason, I have wanted to make a globe since I got my fancy pastry book and saw all the sculptural decorations. The chocolate globe will be better, and oh yeah my second attempt at this will be better but for a first time at this stuff I think it turned out well.
I really cannot wait to make beautiful items that are also tasty. These are all pretty good but I know that more exciting things are up ahead.

Huh? A cake that's TOO sweet? I find that hard to imagine, but hey, you're the professional. It did look gorgeous, though?
