Although we made some very good mignardise, I couldn’t think of a better way to finish off a meal than with my very own very little cake (or maybe two. Just two). And yes, all the piping homework has influenced me — I just couldn’t resist the dominoes. [...] [...] I also thought about the mignardise we made in our class.

I liked this format. It made me feel more like I was at work — getting stuff out and preparing things for the next day. Of course, the peril was that if you didn’t get something done on the first day, you had to scramble to fit it in early the second day, if at all. Luckily, I fit everything in, and aside from the requisite bizarre mishap (see the pastry cream part below), everything went pretty smoothly. I even finished about 15 minutes early the first day, but with only 1 minute on the second day. I can’t figure out why I didn’t finished earlier on the second day; I didn’t get stuck on anything and even used the microwave to heat a couple things that I’d usually heat on a burner (we have a microwave that allows for metal bowls)… I guess I just need to generally work more efficiently and faster. I got a 91% in all, so that was nice. [...] [...] For this block, we had a two day practical — on Day One we made Mignardise plus prep items for Day Two, which was focused on Individual Pastries.

I was so happy to make a truffle recipe that just relies on the fruit itself for flavor, rather than liqueurs, oils, or infusions. I've been hoarding some in my apartment... Only two left! :) Thanks, Susan. I was so happy to make a truffle recipe that just relies on the fruit itself for flavor, rather than liqueurs, oils, or infusions.

It's not a good thing to read this before I've had breakfast. I think I might do just about anything for a banana chocolate truffle…sigh!
