Terrific Tuesday :) Corny, I know...but what is a girl to do if she's always in a jovial mood :)
This little German beauty was a production!! I learned today that Black Forest Torte comes from Germany. So I hope I did the German's justice. :) To create it, we used the Devil's Food Cake from the other day, we brushed it with Cherry syrup, filled it with Chantilly Cream and cherries and then topped it off with more cream and chocolate flakes on the side as decoration. We each had two to make and I was successful in finishing both while running out of time! Again!! If I haven't figured out yet that cakes are time consuming, then sheesh, bring on the third! It would sink right on in :)
Quick Tip: To make Chantilly Cream for your cakes, simply take a quart of heavy cream and 4-5 oz of sugar and whip until ready! When using whipped cream like this, try to eat your creation within a day or two as it tends to not hold up as well and absorbs odors quickly.
We will be half way through the week come tomorrow. I don't want the week to end! Tomorrow we will be creating Petit Fours and my partner and I will be creating Madeleine cookies since time did not allow today. I am unfortunately going to cut the blog short tonight as I have some major studying to do! We have a quiz in Techniques tomorrow and then a 14 chapter test come Friday for our sanitation class. Lots and lots to cover, plus I must get a little work out in. All this cakes means EXTRA work outs :) I don't mind, I have two partners in crime that come along with me, so it makes for an outing! Looove outings, especially if we get to wear cute outfits!
Good night everyone! Enjoy your evening. I leave you with my original creation :)
