Patisserie and Confiserie Lesson 6: Blueberry, lemon and mint drizzle cake, Carrot and Courgette Cake and Sticky Gingerbread.

Hello,

Another baking lesson at the college. I must admit, today I was feeling very under the weather (and what weather we have: rain, rain, rain and more rain!).

The lesson today was: more cakes. We made Blueberry, lemon and mint drizzle cake, Carrot and Courgette Cake and Sticky Gingerbread.

We always start with 1 hour theory and after a break we go for 3 hours or so in the kitchen.

The teacher divided the class in groups of 2 and 3 to perform those 3 recipes. I helped weighing the gingerbread cake and made 2 carrot and courgette cakes.

  1. Oooh yum yum yum!!! Those cakes look gorgeous! I adore the little carrots you made - I've never seen a carrot cake so beautifully decorated!

    Congratulations to your teacher David for his award. He clearly deserves it!

    I see you've got another sensational blog background on here - very shabby-chic vintage and very appropriate! Love it.

    Hope you feel better soon!
