Plated Dessert Workshop

I honestly don't know what this day was supposed to be. I know that what it ended up being was all of us having no idea what to do or how to do it with a chef that speaks no english, left to our own devices to make 2 random plated desserts. Who knows? I made these. Pretty, no?

The first one is some kind of millefeuille with a weird crispy batter sandwiching cream and fruit.

The second, a poorly made macaroon (chef's fault, everyone's were crap because he kept macaroni-ing the batter too much until it was soupy).


My neighbour broke my chocolate decorations while they were in my fridge, so they aren't as pretty as they could be. I was pissed. What she was doing in my fridge all day, I have no idea, but she couldn't keep her shit straight and kept putting things in my fridge until she finally pulled out my baking tray with my choco decoration squeezed in between and CRASH. They hit the floor. Then the chef told me later that if I had put the choco decoration on that I would have received a 4.0 instead of a 3.5 for marks. Greeeeat.
