Wedding Cake



My first try at a "Wedding Cake". The roses and the getting the buttercream frosting on as seemless as possible was the hardest part.

Wedding Cake # 1



This is my first tiered "wedding cake" that we made in class. The frosting and the piping is buttercream. The roses I handmade out of Marzipan.

Bun Dough



This is similar to a hot cross bun recipe minus the citrus and it has craisins in it.

French Epi



This is a traditional French bread dough which is rolled out and shaped like a baguette and then cut and shaped before proofing.

Foccaccia - Sun Dried Tomatoe & Basil



This flatbread can incorporate your favorite flavors. This particular one my group chose to use Sun Dried Tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh chopped basil and topped with Parmesan Cheese.

Fresh Rolls



These rolls are made from a traditional white bread lean dough. The variations are scored, knots & braided rolls.

Apple Pear Crumble



This tasty version of apple crumble incorporates Bosc Pears and whatever type of apple you would like to use as well as dried cranberries that plump up really nice. There is a nice hint of citrus from fresh orange and lemon juice and zest! The topping is oh so crisp and brown! Thanks for sharing this recipe Ina (Barefoot Contessa).
