Tuesday: Mille Feuille, Palmiers & Cheese Straws Tuesday we used our puff pastry to make mille feuille, palmiers and cheese straws. We used half of […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 6

Our sixth week of pastry school began with our first round of practical exams. It was a veryyy long week. Looking back, there were some really good lessons in learning to be okay with making mistakes and making the most of those mistakes. Not always the easiest concept to master, and likely something that will […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 5

Starting into our second month of pastry school we’re all finally settling into our rhythm. Albiet some days a better rhythm than others. And some days a completely different rhythm all together when we’re jamming out in the chocolate lab; this week was a medley of John Williams movie scores which involved a bit of rolling […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 4

Week four was the busiest week yet. I’ve been doing some freelance work on the side over the past month for a friend. I’ve been planning their company awards dinner and the event was on Friday. I also started doing work experience in the production kitchen of two of my London fave’s SushiSamba/Duck & Waffle (more […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 3

Week three of pastry school seemed to fly by! By the end of the week my body hurt from all the kneading and creaming done by hand. We do everything by hand and I have a MUCH greater appreciation for all the hard work my KitchenAid mixer takes care of for me. 🙂 But things […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 2

Week two was a lot more smooth than week one. I think we’ve gotten into our rhythm as a class and are becoming more efficient. We’re also getting to know each other a bit better and thankfully, we all get along really well. Before I started, I was nervous everyone would dislike how much I […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 1

Week one of pastry school is in the books! We had orientation on Monday and began class on Tuesday. Our schedule will be Tuesday through Friday at various hours depending on the day. The biggest take aways from week one are: time management and my uniform. Normally, I try and arrive 5-10 minutes early for […]

Back to School

Yesterday I had college orientation and today is my first day of pastry school. I’m beginning classes for the first time in a decade (geez!). The last time I started a new school (Georgia Tech) was at the beginning of the Millennium. Saying it like that almost makes me feel as old as saying, at the […]
