Cupcake Obsessed: Welcome to the (Sugar) Jungle
http://cupcakeobsessed.blogspot.com/2010/09/welcome-to-sugar-jungle.html
Sunday, September 26, 2010. Welcome to the (Sugar) Jungle. Doesn't my post title make you think of this? As much as I love Guns n' Roses, this post isn't about them (it's a baking blog! One of the more exciting units at school was definitely our Sugar 2 section. We finally got a chance to pull, blow, and pour sugar into really beautiful, delicate items. My sugar flowers I made. Labels: French Culinary Institute. That is all so beautiful! I cant believe its made out of sugar :). October 7, 2010 at 9:36 PM.

Cupcake Obsessed: February 2010

Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Week 7: Puff Pastry. 500 layers of butter? It is delicious. I can't even describe how delicious it is. I want to eat puff pastry wrapped around my every meal. Cheerios in puff pastry? Palmiers, also known as elephant ears. Links to this post. Sunday, February 21, 2010. As promised, I have dug up a picture of the Christmas Eve croquembouche disaster. Actually, my mom did. She wasn't able to come up with any photo of just the croquembouche. At the time she probably...If I hadn...

Cupcake Obsessed: March 2010
http://cupcakeobsessed.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. Week 11: Cakes I. The cakes portion of our program is divided into two portions, separated by the second half of the bread unit. Making cakes are really time consuming. One cake we made this week had seven different components that had to be made. I figure it probably took about 3 hours of actual working in order to make that cake. Thursday night I had a really rough night at class. One of those nights where I was just like "whyyyyy did I come? Links to this post. Thank God vienno...

Cupcake Obsessed: August 2010
http://cupcakeobsessed.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 26, 2010. Evening of Desserts at FCI. The Evening of Desserts is an event in the pastry program that we were all looking forward to. We had seen the Level 2s before us get to do it, and I know I was anxiously awaiting a chance to show off what I had learned for my friends and family. My team's dessert - chocolate hazelnut mendiant. Molly prepping the amuse bouche - a lemon scorpino. With my parents - you can tell my mom has spent more time at the beach than I have this summer! After ever...

Cupcake Obsessed: Chocolate Projects: Fairy Tales
http://cupcakeobsessed.blogspot.com/2010/08/chocolate-projects-fairy-tales.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Chocolate Projects: Fairy Tales. This week I posted on Food 2 about our final chocolate projects. You should check it out there. Our theme was fairy tales, and I chose my favorite fairy tale - Little Red Riding Hood. My piece weighed about two and a half pounds and was made entirely out of chocolate. There were some challenging moments during the course of the project, but overall, it came out pretty close to how I envisioned it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Cupcake Obsessed: Week 28-29 Chocolate II
http://cupcakeobsessed.blogspot.com/2010/08/week-28-29-chocolate-ii.html
Sunday, August 1, 2010. Week 28-29 Chocolate II. Week 28 brought the return of the dreaded chocolate unit. I did not enjoy the first chocolate unit - it was messy and tempering chocolate proved to be challenging. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed our second chocolate unit. I now have a feel for the tempering process, and the whole thing went much smoother. This unit we got to make a bunch of candies - both traditional and some not so much (beer ganache anyone? Peanut Butter Nougat - Soooooo good! Layla Bean...

Cupcake Obsessed: October 2010

Thursday, October 28, 2010. Last Weeks at FCI. Whew, this past month has been a total blur, which I guess explains why I've been MIA. In the past 4 weeks, I've completed many major end of class projects at FCI, graduated, quit my job, went to Disney World, and started a new job! So I'm sorry that I've been neglecting my blog, but hopefully I will have more time now to be updating. I'll get to all the explanations in a bit, but first let's start with the projects! Links to this post. Last Weeks at FCI.
