Made an entremet for a get together/baby announcement over the weekend .

 

Mirror Glaze

White chocolate mousse

Strawberry confit

Strawberry cremeux

Raspberry Madeleine 

 

I'll probably switch out the Madeleine for something else next time. Still delicious 😋 445260593_20220611_1748422.thumb.jpg.91a721ddc70dec6d2dd1394b583daa1a.jpg

Nicely done! I find that madeleine and other buttery sponge layers freeze badly. Maybe try a financier next time? They're fairly forgiving.

Dried apricot pieces

This one was the most successful - I love my chocolate orange curd recipe 😍

Thank you!

Yes I usually do but wanted to try something different. It wasn't bad just too thick for my liking. I might try a less thicker version next time or just go back to my usual

Chocolate orange curd sounds heavenly. Care to share your recipe?

Blintzes filled with farmers cheese, lemon zest, vanilla and raisins.

I wanted to brulee it, but couldn't find the torch I'm sure is laying somewhere.  So I ended up grilling them. Not exactly the same result, but still tasty.

Come on down. I got leftovers. And lots of ice cream. Pie warms well in the microwave.

Y’know, it’d be awright. I went to church this morning. Was getting ready, brushed my hair, and looked to grab makeup. Thought, “Nah, I can’t be bothered.”

 

Went ahead on.

Pound cake. Tried a new recipe that starts in a cold oven. Came out very nice.

That is a beautiful looking cake!  Pound cake is one of my very favorite cakes and I sometimes have trouble with it - specifically I have tended in the past to get a crust that rises up off the cake and has to be pulled off.  Not a huge deal when  that becomes the bottom, but looks bad in a loaf cake.  Many years ago (2006) @shaloop gave me a recipe that helped alleviate that - partially by not preheating the oven.  The theory was that not getting that initial "lift" helped avoid the raised up crust.  Does that make sense to you?

There was a little bit of that on one side. Not sure why one side, could be from the convection oven. But, I thought it was from a little bit of over creaming. My butter was really soft when I got around to making it, and I use a scraper paddle. While it needs to be very light and fluffy to help with the texture and lift, mine may have been beaten a little too long. I've not had that problem though with a loaf or pound cake before. Weird.
