Creme Brulee

The creme brulee turned out awesome-- it is just that the picture didn't turn out..... maybe I'll make some this weekend and post it!!!

Floating islands with creme anglaise

This was actually the most fun I've had so far. I like making creams-- and the floating islands were really easy. The creeme anglaise was good-- but it needs to be more nappe

week 5 flan!

This flan turned out pretty good. It is a little too rich for my blood. The only problem was that the caramel didn't turn out too well- most of it hardened. So hopefully next time-- it will turn out

My first apple pie. Yes it is my first!-- no lattices-- because I'm really slow- Crust was awesome. The pie filling was very runny and had too much sugar

My first Tart!

this was definitely the prettiest of week three. The crust was a little underdone-- but it was still edible!

Banana Cream Pie

This was a little difficult. The pastry cream turned out ok but the crust and the meringue were a disaster. Oh well! better days ahead. I hope

Sticky Bunzz!

Foccacia!!!!

Lecture week 2

Lecture and lab in week 2 were interesting because I didn't realize how tempermental yeast was--It's alive!!!!! It is good if it is bubbly! Bad if it is not. I was a bit overwhelmed about the sticky buns because the recipe was very detailed. Once the yeast started rising I was a bit relieved. The filling and topping were pretty simple. They turned out awesome. At least I think. My whole family like them-- they're all gone now! Hopefully lab in week three goes well too. a little nervous about pies and pastries-- never made them before
