First Exam

At the beginning of the second week of class we had a practical piping exam and a written test on the recipes we'd been learning and the techniques we'd been using to bake and decorate our cakes.  At the end of the 10th day of class we received our grades for both tests as well as a break down of our marks in the class.  I was very pleased and surprised to have earned some of the highest marks in my class.

Here is a picture of my exam cake.  It was a 3 layer genoise sponge cake filled with raspberry jam and covered with a pate a bombe buttercream.






I was pleased with my borders, but need to work on giving my rosettes more height.
Bon Appetit!
