tiny little bundles of yummy goodness!

I just want to do post a quick to show some pictures from Petits Fours last week. I've been slacking with the individual photos, but I did get some pictures of our "Tray's" showing what we had made every few days:

3.5.08: Cornmeal Shortbread Cookies

3.5.08

On Thursday of last week my partner Reesha was out so I partnered up with Corn for the day. Here are a couple of pictures of her pouring chocolate glaze over some "Sara Bernhardt's". They are named after the famous French actress. Actually, they are named after a famous part of her anatomy. :)

3.7.08: I forgot to take a photo of the full tray.
Friday was a wonderful day - George came to visit me at school! He had lunch with the class and then stayed for the remainder of the afternoon. The Chef's were all really nice to him and we all fed him well. Now he understands my pain of trying to not eat everything in class every day!

This Thursday we have a practical exam. It's pretty exciting because we each have to come up with a menu of 4 Petits Fours. We can use any of the recipe's we've made in class, but we have to put our own twist on the recipe to make it unique. It's actually our first opportunity to be creative. At the end of the day Reesha and I have to present our Petits Fours together on a tray for the Chef's to evaluate. I hope they all turn out ok. I'm not going to write what I'm planning on making until I see how everything turns out on exam day!
