Pastilliage Chef

Pastilliage is like a clay but made out of sugar. It dried out very quickly and becomes very fragile. When in Competition, the thinner you make your pastilliage, the more of an expert you are thought to be. But the stuff breaks so easy!

We painted our peices with food coloring

Advanced pastry flowers

We made flowers out of fondant and laid them to dry on plastic wrap circles.

Peanut butter and chocolate cake

This is the cake I made on a very snowy day. It was an amazing chocolate cake that turned out great! I made it from the Fannie Farmer Cook book (unknown edition). It was so moist and the perfect amount of chocolate. I then topped it with Peanut butter, butter cream. So it was peanut buttery but not overwhelming.


I pipped the top with melted chocolate to make it look prettier.


This was the finished product. The cake was super moist and still a bit warm when i cut into it so it turned a little crumbly but it was soo good!!
