week four academia:
today we made two types of gateaus. i made the raspberry & white chocolate gateau and my partner made the milk chocolate gateau.
this is quite a simple cake, yet it takes alot of time to perfect it!
top layer: white chocolate mousse
inner layers: chocolate genoise sponge; fresh raspberries; and white chocolate mousse
outter layer: almond jaconde sponge
i never knew we could decorate a cake with the jaconde sponge. it makes the cakes look spimply amazing i reckon! now i finally knw how cake 'outside' do it =P yay!
it took me quite a while to do the pattern on the jaconde sponge. but i managed to fulfil it! it turned out pretty well surprisingly~ i was so scared it wouldnt come out and be visable. *pats chest* phew! heehee!!
it was difficult working with the chocolate too! i stood there for minutes jus thinking what design to do this week (i dont plan, i jus do it on the spot which frustrates me ahahha i should really think of a design next time i start XD) its really called 'homework' .. something im not very fond of .. hahahha =P
