Pastry School Diary: Week 30

Week 30 of pastry school was pretty full on. After returning from our trip to Italy, we had two projects to complete during the week, including one practical demonstration and one presentation that made up two parts of our supervision unit. On Monday, we got back in the kitchen for the first time since week […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 29

Week 29 of pastry school might have been my most favorite week of the entire course. One of the units in the Higher Culinary Diploma is a gastronomy unit and as part of that unit, our class took a trip to Sorrento, Italy. Our itinerary included a lemoncello factory tour, visiting a buffalo mozzarella farm and […]

Pastry School Diary: Weeks 27-28

I’m clearly a bit behind on the blog as we’ve flown through the whole month of April without a pastry school diary update. Since I ‘graduated’ in week 24 with my Pastry Diploma, we had two weeks off before beginning the work towards the City & Guilds IVQ Level 3 qualification and Higher International Culinary Diploma. Technically these […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 24

Well, we’ve done it. Pastry school is half way over and I’ve graduated from the International Patisserie Diploma portion of the course. We now have two weeks off before starting the higher culinary diploma portion of the course. It’s going to feel weird once we go back not to be in the kitchen with the […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 23

I know I keep saying this, but ever since we came back from Christmas, pastry school has been flyyyyying by. This is our second to last week of the International Pastry Diploma portion. It included soufflés, tarts, an exam and lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Tuesday: Lemon Pudding Soufflé, Raspberry Soufflé and Pistachio Soufflé On […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 22

I cannot believe how fast the second half of the pastry portion of pastry school is going! Ever since our return after Christmas the time has been flying by. It’s going to be weird not to see these ladies so much every week (although a couple of them are part of the second half of […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 21

Pastry school week 21 was all about cakes. We made four of them. I arrived back in London Tuesday morning at the start of the school week after an amazing weekend in Charleston; visiting with college friends, family and the wedding celebrations of one of my dearest friends from high school. I even got a […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 20

I can’t believe it’s week 20! Only one month left of the pastry part of my course. I was only in the kitchen one day this week as we got the opportunity on Wednesday to go to the World Chocolate Masters UK/Ireland pre-selection finals because it was held at my school, Westminster Kingsway College. Thursday and Friday […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 19

Week 19 of pastry school was a bit of a weird one. We started out on Tuesday with our croquembouche centerpiece designs, but there was a problem with the Thames water supply in the local area, so school was closed on Wednesday. Friday was a teacher development day, so we only had two days in class. […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 18

Week 18 of pastry school was a really up and down week. The week started with an exam, included a mild nervous breakdown in class, afternoon tea at The Ritz and delicious cookies. The week ended on a high note with great news that some of my best friends from college booked their flights to London […]
