Mousse Cake Pracitical Friday

Today was the LAST day of CUSTARD!! THANK YOU! I have never been so sick of cream and egg yolks in my entire life. Plus I no longer have Chef Anjali- a miracle. And even more of a miracle was that I got an A on my project!

The guidlines were pretty basic- atleast 2" mousse cake with one sponge, atleast one type of mousse, one glacage, and one other decorative design. In 3 hours- which may seem like a long time. But when you are working with gelatin, its pretty risky. I got all of my components made in the first hour and it took the other 2 hours just to set up entirely!

I only had 1 point taken off of my whole practical and it was worth 200 points!!

Next week I start cakes ( YAAAY!) with Chef Erica ( FINALLY!). She is definately my favorite chef.

So I made a Black Currant Mousse with Vanilla Sponge Cake and a Passion Fruit and Black Currant Glacage with tempered chocolate as a garnish.

Sarah Beth was having a cocktail after getting an A on her practical too......

David freaked out about his project but it went really well......

Mila celebrated by making some ice cream....

I tempered some chocolate, did some filigree, and dipped some candied orange slices....

Jamie made some Cake components....

and me... well as you can see... I nearly freaked out in front of the sugar show pieces!! All together a great practical.
