Last night, we started cakes. It was a lot more difficult than I thought. I am going to need to practice a lot! Chef just smiled as everyone's first attempt at making a genoise failed (we all had to remake our cake) and also as we attempted to mask a cake with buttercream for the first time. He knew it would be difficult, but he said we all did well for our first try. I was somewhat frustrated last night at how everything went, but it left me wanting to go home a practice. I think that is a good sign. :-)
Here are pictures of what I made:
Pound Cake
Genoise
The genoise cake was yummy. I only had half of a small slice, so I wouldn't completely ruin my workout earlier that day. :-)
