Pretty! - First plated dessert and fruit tarts

Bavarian Cream with Rapberry sauce and caramel decoration

Oh I love to play! I love to play with sauces, with fruit, with color, with making things look good. It is one of the main reasons I decided to get into pastry professionally. As a child I was infamous for spouting off the famous "it's all in the presentation"

Words that I still live by.

I put my caramel decorations on a dessert! A nice Bavarian cream with a very pretty deep red raspberry sauce. I was thinking of all the fun sculpture I have done in my life and am so happy that now it is in food form!

and another...

I just love color. Always have. Today we made fruit tartlettes which gave us another chance to work with color. We also got to work with knives which is always fun. I went a little overboard posting photos today...they are that pretty.



Tomorrow is the final for the fundamental section. Hooray!
