/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Okay.
So. Here is my ultimate worst. Its so god damn embarrassing. Ill fully admit that I SUCKED in culinary school, was in no way ready to go and didnt have enough experience in the industry. Luckily that was quite a while ago and I've definitely progressed a lot since then. but. I digress:

Green text for simplicity.

>Go to Culinary school for pastry
>Spend months there, each class preparing for our practical exam.
>flew through the classes pretty easily
>did very well on my work, all is well, etc
>the weeks pass and we are learning more and more
>Chefs and instructors hyping us up for the practical, as HUGE 2 day long test that takes about 8 hours per day
> sponge cake, pastry cream, butter cream, tempering chocolate, puff pastry dough, pate a choux, ganache and fondant. We have to assemble a cake, fill, frost, decorate it with tempered chocolate, cut it perfectly. Make eclairs, fill, frost. Make apple strip. Put 1/2 of puff dough,a scoop of pastry cream and a scoop of butter cream aside to be graded alone.
