have i told you lately...

…well, anything? i’m sorry for the long gap in posts! you know how life goes, and the second that you think you’re ahead, you fall ten paces behind. i’ve experienced this in class, at work, all over the place. is there anything i can do to make it up to you?

(caution, after the jump, picture heavy!)

oh! i know. cake makes everything better!

genoise with vanilla buttercream, almond base, marzipan roses and plaque

…it’s not your birthday? i couldn’t remember how much i missed. how about something more glam?

chocolate genoise with chocolate glaze and chocolate dipped rose petals

but based on that look, i’m gathering that chocolate isn’t your thing. let’s see. almonds are good, right?

 

dacquoise 

or how about caramel?

 

dobos torte

but maybe all of this cake is too rich and too sweet. i’m not trying to put you into a sugar coma to make up for my absence!

kugelhopf

it is sort of cake like, but i promise it’s from our viennoiseries unit, so it’s in-between cake and bread. still too sweet?

challah

holler at me.

mini brioche

those brioche made quite a lovely breakfast...but i digress. still not enough?

brioche nanterre 

instead of one mini loaf, that was made up of eight. eight heavenly pieces of delicious brioche.


but i feel like all of these are not really expressing how i’ve missed you, and missed sharing all of the wild and wacky kitchen adventures of the past few weeks. and so, i have for you…this.

can you possibly forgive me?

more regular posting will resume asap. i have a few back logged pieces to share, and another exam post to fill you in on. until then, eat on mes chers.
