C’est Fini

Today, we clean; tomorrow, we graduate. 15 weeks gone just like that at NWCAV! For the exam, which lasted 2 days, we had to produce:

1 lemon sabayon tart with meringue

1 florentine torte

12 bread rolls in 4 different shapes

12 molded chocolates in a “unique” truffle flavour

1 marzipan rose

1 batch of cookies (we drew the type out of a hat; I pulled “kipferli)

There’s room for improvement, but I’m also quite pleased with my efforts. The 5-spice chocolates were very popular at home. I got the ganache recipe from Kate Zuckerman’s “Sweet Life: desserts from Chanterelle”.
