Not everyone may know of the movie "Sabrina" at least not the 1954 version with Humprey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn but it is one of my favorite Movies! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047437/
In the first few scenes of the movie Sabrina (Hepburn) goes off to Paris to cooking school. While she is learning to make Souffle she forgets to turn on the oven and her Souffle ends up as flat as a pancake.
Souffles can be tricky and it has not been something we have learned in class. But since I finished a class on European Style cakes, which tend to be egg foam meaning their leavening agent is typically a stiff Egg white mixture that is folded into the batter. So I figured I would venture out to try and make a Souffle.
I found on foodnetwork.com an Ina Garten recipe for "Spinach and Cheddar Souffle" This actually turned out really simple compared to some of the sponge cake recipes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/spinach-and-cheddar-souffle-recipe/index.html
And It didn't fall!! I was careful not to look at the product while it was baking and the oven was hot so I did not pull a "Sabrina" It came out a tad bit dry but it may have been the cheese that I used since I used a very sharp cheddar cheese. But it went well with the rotisserie chicken that we made on the Grill spit.
Experiences from Pastry school and beyond as I find out what it takes to make it in the industry. As well as share recipes and tips with my readers.

Another Quarter in the books
So this last quarter was pretty hard on me and hence why I could not post. But today is your update! :D
So I aced all my classes this last quarter and finished with flying colors! and I got to graduate this quarter with Honors at the moment I have a 3.94GPA!
For my Final for European cakes I invented my own European style cake, a raspberry lemonade torte.

This torte is made with raspberry mousse and lemon mousse with a golden chiffon cake and raspberry gelee.

It was fun to do and to make up!
For the other part of that final I had to work with a partner and we made another cake together the Le Frazie torte.
This is one of my favorites it has moussilien cream and strawberries.
Yumm!!
For Breads class we made bagels, croissants, Baguettes, and Rustic bread. I got a 95% on the test for my shaping, scoring, and taste!
Such a great Quarter and met great people!!
Next quarter is my last quarter I have Advanced patisserie and display cakes and my Internship! All of this starts In July! so I will enjoy the break and vacation.
