Cakes

My plan for my midterm cake. It will be done on tuesday. I'm painting on fondant to achieve the stained glass effect.

our first rolled fondant cake. We made the fondant ourselves, which was fun. I now have a better recipe than the one I've used before. We did royal icing string work on it, as you can see. This is a chocolate roulade cake with pistachio cream.

This was the teacher, Chef Dianne's cake, which she cut into to show us how cool it looks.
As I said, our midterm is tuesday. We each picked a kind of cake, filling, and covering out of a hat. My cake will be the same sponge that lady fingers are made from and a bavarian filling, with plain buttercream and fondant. I can't believe I'm halfway done with the program!
