Delice with orange mousse. I used the jaconde sponge to line a small round mold and then filled it with an orange flavour mousse although I think it could have had more orange zest. So thinking of flavours for when we do the assessment....maybe lemon or chocolate orange says D. I will give it a think this week.
Hardest night at college yet. Very busy. Exhausted this morning. Opera cake with a jaconde sponge and daquoise and also small little orange mouse delices. We spent lots of time watching demos so I felt quite rushed. This meant the final product lacks a little finesse but overall I am happy. It tastes good and I know what I need to do to improve-basically to have more time layering it up!!
Distinction!!! 4 x 4 different danish pastries. All went well. Mum looked after the kids and has taken a small box home with her.
The kids were still up when I got home so we all shared some before bedtime and more still for breakfast!!
Made lots more Danish this evening but my triumph was the Pear and Almond ones shaped like a pear. Quick piccie for you now.
