Well today was VERY exciting, I got to meet Celebrity Chef Aaron McCargo, Jr. from the Food Network. He is the host of "Big Daddy's House". He did a demo of Spaghetti and Asparagus Carbonara. Chef McCargo is full of energy. He talked to us about how important is was for us to follow our dreams and that we have to put in our dues.He also spoke to us about the special diets of people with kidney disease and Diabetes. This was very interesting to know what people on dialysis are able to eat to make their life easier.
On Wednesday we made carrot cake. This was another learning experience. We learned how to make parchment piping bags, and how to pipe leaves out of them. This cake was much easier to make since it has a cream cheese icing. This was the first cake we made that had alot of piping of something other than shell.
Today was a Lemon Torte. This is made different than any other cake I have every made. This cake you layer into a round mold, which makes it easier to have straight sides and a even top. The Lemon Curd we made for this cake was FABULOUS. It has the right amount of sweet and tartness. On this cake we used Italian butter cream which is made by adding a sugar syrup to whipped egg whites and then you add TONS of BUTTER!!! it is amazing!!!
Until My next Culinary Adventure,
Marti
