Fundamentals Of Baking Class

TASK: Bake a batch of muffins and scones

I would have added more chocolate chips, our Chef said only 8oz, which is nothing for a whole batch of muffins. Also, my teacher is British and wanted us to make the typical scones that they have in England, therefore they were very dry. I tend to make my scones full of sugar chunks.

A chocolate mousse cake I made for Easter.

A Birthday cake I had made under two hours for my sister's friend who was a DJ. Told her I would make the cake didn't know she meant right then and there. Think I did pretty good for being under pressure.
