This cake was gross. Why are so many of the cakes we make so gross?? So it's that dry old genoise sponge cake imbibed (or in my case, under-imbibed) with kirsch syrup, pastry cream, orange slices, pineapple, then covered in Italian meringue. Blah.I made my sponge cake and I guess I didn't fill the mold enough and it came out half height. It really is a mystery because my neighbor saw it and thought it looked as full as I did. Anywho, I had to remake my sponge, but I totally had time to do it and STILL I finish before 4 or 5 people. And then he thought my piping needed work and I need to learn to SOAK these dry cakes in syrup...
Not my best day, but again, more good than bad. I've been off my game because of the sickness. I'm heading to Toronto this weekend to visit friends and when I return next week I'll bring my A-game and get back to kicking ass.
