This is Opera, a traditional French cake! So yammy!!! :))

This cake boasts of a wonderful harmony of layers of coffee cream, genoise and ganache moistened with liquor.

It is extremely complicated and difficult to bake this cake.

On top of a sheet of genoise moistened with syrup of liquor and coffee, you spread a layer of coffee cream and then another sheet of genoise and then spread ganache… you have to continuously repeat this procedure over and over to make this cake! And at the end, you coat it with chocolate! Now you know why operas are expensive. It’s a cake that requires incredible amount of time and attention. As tough as it was to make, it tasted amazing! It takes like a cake for grown-ups with a delicate flavor of coffee and liquor. Haha~ :]

This cake is made with a similar procedure to Opera. This time it was a nutty cake with lots of almonds and pistachios in it, hehe~. It felt a bit heavy because of the butter cream, but the pistachios and almond pieces that were mixed in the cream were so delicious.

Lovely , Maron pie <3<3

Apple pie

This is apple pie. Doesn’t it look like a cut-out piece of apple?

It’s filled with apple paste inside! I tried to taste it the minute it came out of the oven and I burnt the whole roof of my mouth. But still, pies are at their best right after they come out of the oven!

Cheese cake cut!!

Oh this day, we divided the class into groups and tasted and evaluated the different cheese cakes and cream puffs made by different bakeries.

Our group was in charge of cheese cake! With the money we got from the school, we had to buy 8 pieces of the same kind. I researched books and paid visit to a couple of famous bakeries, but maybe because it was too early in the morning, they were either short of the cakes or didn’t have them made yet. So I had to run around 7 different shops to get them. Tears tears. It was the hottest day of the year so I was running around sweating like a pig. The ones we bought were cassis cheese cake. Maybe because we worked so hard to buy the cake, our cake looked the prettiest and the tastiest.

The cakes are pricy so we weren’t able to afford many of them, but it was still very exciting to have the opportunity to compare cakes from different shops.

I wanted to take pictures of the shop interior, but too bad I couldn’t because it was prohibited.

Only got knows its taste. See ya~
