I have totally been a party animal and thought I would share. I went to Boulder CO June 28-July 2. I attended the Culinary School of the Rockies pastry vacation. It was wonderful. Day 1- we made a lot of pastry doughs and got things ready to make tarts, pies, and quiche crusts.
Day 2 Cake
We finished a lot from day one then made our cakes to decorate on day 3. We learned not to overmix the batter. Our cake still turned out yummy. It was the Chocolate one.
Day 3-
Icecream- We made all the bases for our icecream. We let them Ripen overnight it makes them tastier and creamier.
Day 4-
Puff Pastry, Baked custards, etc.
I was so proud of the Creme Brulee we made it was so much fun. Our fruit Chaussons were yummy but sadly I did not get a picture of them.
Day 5-
This was one of my proudest days. We made Souffles. Ours turned out so good. We were broken up in groups and our cake had been a little of a flop so to have such beautiful souffles was great. We also made mousse and truffles. The whole vacation was a total treat literally.
