It was actually cold enough to require a coat today – down to 10C in the a.m. and the news is complaining it’s unseasonably cold. By lunch though it is very pleasant sitting outside.
We have started tart week, and are learning different techniques to perfect good tart shapes and forms. We had several practice rounds with paté brisée, filling our shells with almond paste and they are currently resting in the freezer waiting for filling tomorrow. Learned how to pipe meringue into cool designs for Pavlova. We made several fillings, banana bread, pecan topping, and getting ready for puff pastry tomorrow – both regular and inverted.
Pictures to come tomorrow….
