Ok so today was a busy day and it all started with cheese cake. First we took our graham crackers to a food processor and processed the crap out of them, then we mixed them with butter and sugar and molded out crust into a baking ring. Then it was as simple as mixing all the ingredients in a kitchen aid and pouring in. chef took a blow torch to his kitchen aid bowl while he creamed his cream cheese. He said it makes it cream better, I believed him so I did the same thing. Those cooked for like a hour, low and slow is what it takes to cook a cheesecake.
Then we moved on to our cookies from the week before, if you don’t remember I prepped some madaleines and some financiers. Those got piped into some silicone molds and baked as well. Then we prepped some almond tuiles and coconut tuiles, tuiles are a type of French cookie. We mixed them up but didn’t cook them; they await me in the fridge this minute. After that it was time to make some muffins. We made a basic muffin recipe, but it called for berries, but we had no berries. Chef said we could flavor them with what ever we wanted, the hunt was on. Moe, who is my partner this week, she and I talked it over and decided to do a marble muffin. She made the muffins and I set up a double boiler and melted some dark chocolate. Then we split our dough in half and we mixed the chocolate into one of the halves. Each muffin cup got a little of both and when the cooked they looked super cool. Not that I think back the other half really wasn’t flavored and I wish I had put some vanilla in them.
After that we took out inverted puff pastry dough to the sheeter in preparation for Thursday, and then chef graded our cakes we made last week. Then it was time to have dinner (super good) and go home. I took my left over cake to
