Cakes, Day 9

Last day of cakes! This class was super fun, it was lots of detail work with very little downtime. The cakes themselves were not always pretty; some look a lot like grocery store cakes. But, they are fun to decorate and are very challenging to get perfectly smooth and uniform.

The first part of my practical was the "ten minute torte." This was having to ice a cake start to finish in ten minutes. This is WAY harder than it sounds!!! No one was able to get it done in that time. I finished 2nd at 13 min. and 45 sec. It was really stressful as you get to the last few minutes, and still have a ton of work to do. This was certainly the worst of my cakes, but it wasn't awful.


Here is the set up for the "ten minute torte"

Here is the speed rack with everyones tortes awaiting grading.
