It's a bittersweet feeling now that I've come to the completion of my Patisserie course... Glad for what I've learnt during the year, of what I've managed to accomplish, for the people I've met along the way. My deepest gratitude to our amazing Chef instructors/tutors who made each class fun, interesting and so enjoyable! It was a little sad emptying out my locker, knowing I'd probably not be seeing our Patisserie kitchen again (unless of course I return for Year 2 to complete the Diploma ;) Hmmm).
Anyway, with all assessments behind us it was time to focus our efforts on our 'Festive Celebrations' themed Year End Buffet...
The Chinese New Year station:
My Lychee Mousse Gateau
My Celebration Cake :)
My Green Tea Swiss Rolls
The Easter station:
St. Patrick's Day station:
Matariki (Maori New Year) station:
The Christmas station:
The Halloween station:
Cute Gingerbread men doing the Haka for Matariki
Assorted hand-made chocolates
And that concludes my great Patisserie adventure for 2011!! Can't wait for many more to come :)
