Final Assignment All Done

June 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I never thought I’d say this but I need a break from the chocolate kitchen. I’ve been working on my final assignment for the past 3 weeks making fudge, candied peel, gianduja, nut brittle, caramel, fondant; coating in different chocolates; decorating with different techniques; flavouring ganaches. Oh I need a chocolate free weekend! But just to be clear, I will be eating chocolate just not cooking ;-)

I never thought I’d be making such confections during a chocolate course but now I plan to incorporate them into my creations. I’m planning an orange truffle with candied peel and a nut brittle truffle.

The course does not officially end until July and I’ve still got lots of lectures to read through.

The highlight of the course was my mint cream with fondant made from scratch. I will blog some more about this later though.
