My baking class was one of my favorite classes in school, probably because I did so well in it, that I decided to give it it’s own iPhonetography post instead of lumping it together with other posts. I grew up helping my mom in the kitchen, but my earliest, and most clear, kitchen memories involve baking. My mother is a fantastic baker and I am pretty good, too, if I do say so myself. I already knew many baking basics and recipes, but I also learned a lot in this class. I earned the title “Number One” from my table group in baking because they always came to me with questions (for some reason they wouldn’t call me “captain” or “your majesty”). That worked out quite well since I had to ask them for help in our other classes.
My baking and pastry class tremendously furthered my baking skills, and I would love to go back and attend pastry school where I would spend even more time in each area. I would love to spend an entire class learning about cake decorating instead of the two or three days we got in culinary school. My cake decorating skills could definitely use some fine-tuning. The baking I can do, the decorating, especially piping words… not so much. My proudest moment in this class was mastering the souffle. Mine came out a mile high, beautiful, and delicious, and I have made many successful souffles since!
Brioche cinnamon rolls, chocolate souffles, eclairs, cream puffs, bread, chocolate truffles, and all manner of sweet treats?! It’s no wonder I loved this class so much.
Ha ha ha…the cake is a lie! That’s funny!
Looking forward to meeting you at Camp Blogaway!
You are amazing Sarah! These are all soooooo gourgeous! I am drooling at my computer, and that is generally frowned upon at work. Looking forward to see what you have decided on tomorrow. I woke up at 5:00am to bake this morning so I could get a jump start before work.
They all look amazing. I too love baking and watched my mum all the time when I was growing up. I love meringue and enjoyed the photo of tipping the bowl.
Fantastic looking souffle but those baguettes are my favorite!! I wanted to say hi at the bake sale but it got really crazy 🙁 I think your going to Camp Blogaway? I am too so we’ll catch up then!
Take care…
Yes, I will be there! Can’t wait to meet, thanks for stopping by! 🙂
everything looks wonderful 🙂 the cake writing reminds me of my first job, it’s so different than writing on paper, but I’m sure since you mastered all the others that you will master the writing VERY soon! See you at campblogaway this weekend!
Thank you! Camp is so close and I am getting so excited!
The cake is a lie. Awesome.
I don’t understand this reference.
Those are some awesome looking treats! Wow! I’m impressed.
