Pastillage Heart Shaped Box

This is a heart shaped box I made using Pastillage (sugar dough) and it looks like ceramic when it dries. I airbrushed the red color onto it.

Sugar Bowl

Here is a bowl that is made of colored sugar. I used three different colors and added them into hot sugar and cooked until they reached approximately 330 Degrees.

Strawberry Banana Cream Tart

This is a tart shell lined with melted chocolate then filled with a banana cream pudding topped with fresh strawberries and a raspberry glaze!

Danish Dough

This is a danish dough that we filled with an apple pie type filling.

Putting my sugar showpiece together

Here is a snapshot of my un-finished sugar showpiece.

Finished Sugar Showpiece

This was made as our first sugar showpiece for my Advanced Pastry Arts Class. It is a sea theme. Everything here is made of sugar and held together with only sugar.

Schnecken Kugen - German Pastry

This German pastry was one of my favorites! Boy do they know how to bake! It is a sheet of puff dough on the bottom that gets cooked first and then you place a thin layer of almond paste (frangipan). You top that with a danish roll that was filled with raisins and cinnamon and shmear. Then bake the whole thing off and finish it off with a nice glaze!

Cake Decorating night

This is a cake from my commercial baking class that I made. It is a white cake cut into 3 layers with raspberry jam in the middle and sealed with a Whip Cream frosting. The roses, lettering and top of the cake is all whipped cream and the ribbon border on the bottom is buttercream.
