Yesterday we learned just a little bit about knife skills and made a sweet dough. Today we made our sweet dough into cookies and made pastry cream. The pastry cream is amazing! Every time Chef Jon said something that could go wrong I knew what he was talking about because it described my old pastry cream. And people liked my old pastry cream; I guess they just didn't know any better. Chef Pierre showed us how to pipe chocolate and we get to try that out tomorrow. His demonstration was super impressive, especially when I had a hard time just making the piping tip.
I think my partner and I work really well together and I'm having fun. I'm excited for the first time I get to really wow someone. People like the things I make now but I've always known it could be better, I just didn't know how. One thing I do know is that no matter what happens, pastry school is the best decision I ever made. I am still ridiculously quiet but it's starting to feel like home.
