Busy week...

Another week at ESCF has flown by; we've been here for almost two months now...craziness! We started off the week making several type of sponge cakes to complete more complex cakes during the end of the week. Tuesday was our first wine tasting (interesting) and Wednesday we had service which went MUCH better than last time. We made authentic Austrian apfelstrudel, thanks to Désirée, and a spice bread with citrus slices and a red wine citrus gélée, both of which were delicious and turned out very well. We completed some time-intensive cakes like Moka, Charlottes, and a Griottines Roulade and today we're headed to a flour mill to learn the wonders of an essential base of pastry. I'm going to Nantes for the weekend to Josh and Philippe and can hardly contain my excitement! I'll update more in detail and add pictures when I get back.
