Two months down

And one more month left before my Basic Pastry course at the Ottawa Cordon Bleu is done. They just posted the list of recipes for the final exam and I'll have to get started studying those ASAP. Most of them were ones I did quite well on but a few do worry me, and hopefully those aren't the ones I wind up having to do. Considering I'm always surprised with how well my dishes turn out, so long as I study properly, things should be alright.

crème brulée gateau basque crème caramel renversée

From the top, here is the crème brulée, a gateau basque (filled with pastry cream and cherries) and a crème caramel renversée. I surprised myself with both the crèmes, and somehow actually managed to be done before anybody else in class that day which is unusual for me. The crème caramel is quite small but so rich, with all that sugar and egg in it. I just wanted to roll over and die after eating it and the crème brulée in class haha...

Anyhow, I have errands to run, crickets to acquire, and things to clean. I hope you are having a good Monday and that you had a groovy weekend. Cheers!
