Pastry School Diary: Week 17

Pastry School Diary: Week 17

I can’t believe I just finished week 17 of pastry school. It really seems like the month of January flew by. The week was filled with tarts, ice cream experiments, cookies, chocolate motifs and an exam. Tuesday: Dark Chocolate Coffee Caramel & Walnut Tart, French Apple Tart and Lime & Raspberry Tart On Tuesday we had a […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 15

Week 15 in pastry school went pretty well. Our schedule in the classroom (kitchen) is becoming more packed leaving less time for breaks, but it’s really good for us to be pushed a little harder and learn more skills. I had my first meeting this week with the culinary international students (myself and a couple of […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 14

We just finished our first week back in pastry school since the holiday break. It’s the start of a new year, a new chef and new skills. Excited to start focusing on the more advanced and technical parts of the course. After our first week together, I think Chef Ian is going to fit in very nicely with […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 12

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been in pastry school for three months! Crazy. We’ve been in the intermediate part of our course since our last exams week six and this week we had our practical exams based on those skills. Pavlova and panna cotta for the patisserie exam and croissants and Guinness bread for our bakery […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 11

I can’t believe I’ve almost completed a quarter of pastry school. Week 11 was a pretty good week consisting of our first try at some items that will be on the practical exam in week 12, a group outing to Borough Market, mulled wine and lots and lots of Christmas music! 🙂 Tuesday: Meringue Pavlova, Floating […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 10

Week ten went pretty well. We took our first try at a couple of items that will be on our exam in two weeks time and presented our past masters chef project which we’ve been working on for a few weeks. We also got some pretty big news about some upcoming changes, but more on […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 9

Week nine started out a bit rough. I accidentally left my nice wool peacoat in the girls changing room at work experience and someone took it. Despite the fact that it was a nice (and somewhat expensive coat), I spent weeks and weeks last fall trying to find the perfect coat and now I need […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 8

Week eight of pastry school went well. We made some delicious treats that I look forward to trying again at home! Tuesday: Bakewell Tart & Lemon Tart On Tuesday, we made two tarts and used a different kind of sweet paste which I liked much better. It was a bit shorter (more butter). We used both […]
