Cake Technique

We worked in a group of 4 and we all tried different types of techniques: melt & mix, quick mix,  beating and the creaming method. I did the creaming but they didn't turn out how i thought they would, quick mix was the best one because it had a great taste and texture.

Theory!!

We had a theory lesson today and we worked on what we will be doing for our cupcake assignment ! Sammy found these great tea cup cupcakes that look great, and i hope she does them ! I am going to be decorating my vanilla cupcakes will white paper cups to put them in and half of them with pink icing and sugar lollies and 3/6 will have O's and the other 3/6 with have X's and this will be called Hugs & Kisses. The other half of my batch of cupcakes will be decorated with a baby purple coloured icing with white paper cups and little flowers~ this design will be appropriate for a young girls birthday party.

Lemon & Caramel Tarts

At the start of the lesson we had to get into a group of 4- Sammy, Bronte, Zooha & myself. One group would make the lemon and the other would make the caramel, Bronte & Zooha made the lemon and Sammy & I made the caramel ones. They were very delicious and the caramels were my personal favourite.

Pizza Scrolls

Pizza Scrolls were really good! We made them today and I will be making them in the near future. There was not many ingredients that were needed and it was very simple and a great snack to have when you're feeling peckish !

Meringues!

We made meringues and they were a nice treat but i didn't enjoy them that much as they are full of sugar and made me feel a bit sick. They were easy to make and it helped me gain knowledge on how bakeries etc make them because i have also wondered.

Brownies

We made brownies today, they tasted great! They were easy to make and i'm sure i will be making them at home soon...they were crispy on the outside and warm and moist in the middle from the oven.They were amazing.

Theory

This lesson was possibly the best lesson, we found out that next lesson we will be cooking waffles! In the next lesson we prepared our waffles and gathered our ingredients then when the mix was ready we added it to the waffle maker and when they were finished we added strawberries, maypole syrup and ice cream! It was delicious.
