Pastry Classes In Boulder

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.

Cake Class Withdrawals

Ok so I am a foodie. I know I am and happily admit it. I have been trying to be good because I am on a summer slim down for work. So I haven't baked anything in a few weeks. I am going through withdrawals. When I had my cake class they helped me do baking, but then I was able to give it away. Now I am ready to bake something, but know if I do I'll eat it. Maybe that's part of the appeal also. I have hence started looking at food blogs on the Internet. I don't think that was too good of an idea, I want to bake more than ever. I miss teaching my classes. I do get to go to pastry class vacation in two weeks and am very excited. I am thinking of doing a summer class with some summer cupcakes and decorations. I was thinking July 6th any takers? The class would be from 6-8pm $10. Happy Baking.

Goodbye last beginning class

Parting is such sweet sorrow. Summer seems to be the most busy time for people and I am no exception. Because of the craziness of June and July my next classes aren't until the end of July. I am posting pictures of the final projects of my classes. The last class is my favorite. I feel like it is a wonderful time when all goes together.

Here's what my class had to say-
