I had been dying to make my own éclairs and choux à la crème!<br />
We learned how to make puff pastry. The key to the perfect balance between enough volume and enough color is to use half water half milk.<br />
And we made caramel with salted butter!!!!! Amazing!<br />
A beautiful dessert plate of caramel ice cream with crumble and apple salad.<br />
And of course the art of the perfect Crème Caramel.<br />

We made delicious creamy vanille ice cream.<br />
To accompany this, we made 3 different type of biscuits: tuile, kletskop and sesame biscuit.<br />

Not really worth taking a picture, but super interesting because these are the bases for a lot of pastry recipes.<br />
<br />
Lesson 2: we made 3 different little tartelettes.<br />
1/ Pâte sablé with almond cream and baked fruit<br />
2/ Pâte bretonne (yum yum) with crême royale and fresh fruit<br />
2/ Pâte aux amandes with crême royale and fresh fruit<br />

This is what I've made so far:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">1/ Tangerine Cake</span><br />
This is actually a pudding that you're supposed to steam in the oven. The tangerine sirup on top is delicious and the cake is super moist. A big hit at the office (my guinea pigs)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">2/ Lemon and Poppyseed Cake</span><br />
One of my colleagues is from Serbia and was telling me about the cakes with poppyseed he was eating as a child in his home country. So I decided to make one with lemon. As it turns out, he remembered a cake with poppyseed and chocolate, so I will have to try that some other time.<br />
This recipe comes from Rose Levy Beranbaum. The cake is also moistened by a lemon sirup. It is so fresh a delicious. Awesome.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">3/ Maple & Caramelized Pecan Cake</span><br />
A sweet recipe from Delia Smith, ideal for autumn and winter time.<br />
Two layers of cake with a delicious mascarpone frosting with maple sirup and caramelized pecans.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">5/ Really Really Dark Chocolate Cake</span><br />
Man, this one was awesome to make. A chocolate cake with a chocolate sirup to make it darker and more moist. Wham Bam!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">6/ White Chocolate Pound Cake</span><br />
I tried this recipe because one of my colleagues sent it, as a request. I was alright, but I think the white chocolate flavor didn't really come through.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">7/ Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Layered Cake</span><br />
Awesome!!!! Another recipe from Rose Levy Beranbaum. Four layers of thin chocolate cake, moistened with raspberry sirup and with raspberry chocolate ganache in between each layer and frosting. So delicate and powerful at the same time. The photo doesn't do the cake justice, because it really looked nice. I guess the lighting wasn't so good when I took the picture...<br />

<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">8/ Cake with Passion Fruit Curd and White Chocolate Frosting</span><br />
Boy, do I love Rose Levy Beranbaum. Every recipe I try is just amazing!<br />
Two layers of cake, moistened by passion fruit sirup, with a passion fruit curd in between, with white chocolate frosting on top and a swirl of passion fruit curd.<br />
The bitterness of the passion fruit complimented very well with the sweetness of the white chocolate frosting. Very fresh.<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">1/ Chocolate Explosion M&M Fortress</span><br />
Awesome idea. Bake a double recipe of a quatre quart with some cocoa powder. Slice it in half.<br />
Spread some whipped cream with crushed M&M's on the first half.<br />
Put the second half on top. Then cover the whole cake with cocoa butter cream.<br />
Surround the cake with Kit Kat cookies. I used a cute little ribbon to tie the whole thing together, in case the buttercream would start to melt...<br />
And top with loads of M&M's.<br />
There you go. The Chocolate Explosion M&M Fortress.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7h09Yw0ZO30BUJ7CRN18c6XcrZQAUBb8a6aayvox3H3Dj19y7XR_y0QTxl3QkoVYCxYA3an_fQ2-bqE5LmPqTqKmodYksZjIS4GFqP3ED0BLUcRucibUFbkG7j9h3ewhJjYFdc-GxuU/s1600/m&ms+cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7h09Yw0ZO30BUJ7CRN18c6XcrZQAUBb8a6aayvox3H3Dj19y7XR_y0QTxl3QkoVYCxYA3an_fQ2-bqE5LmPqTqKmodYksZjIS4GFqP3ED0BLUcRucibUFbkG7j9h3ewhJjYFdc-GxuU/s1600/m&ms+cake.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">2/ Maltezer Sheep</span><br />
Bake a double recipe of a quatre quart with some cocoa powder. Slice it in half.<br />
Spread some whipped cream with crushed Maltezers on the first half.<br />
Put the second half on top. Then cover the whole cake with cocoa butter cream.<br />
Arrange Maltezers on top of it, to look like a sheep.<br />
Mold a sheep's head with marzipan or whatever is in your kitchen that could serve for this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJIk0CUkT6atkU7GCB-M1CDdFB6tKVPHEwA89Gq83wbeXzDD4pZpAw0dmv_0RojmkT3L76CFEZiMGygE4eui5j4Zu1ohH3B6bIl5btnHxsaxYfJ7NQ32jhyphenhyphenrREmkJEJQX1IkvQWTOW1U/s1600/maltezer+cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJIk0CUkT6atkU7GCB-M1CDdFB6tKVPHEwA89Gq83wbeXzDD4pZpAw0dmv_0RojmkT3L76CFEZiMGygE4eui5j4Zu1ohH3B6bIl5btnHxsaxYfJ7NQ32jhyphenhyphenrREmkJEJQX1IkvQWTOW1U/s1600/maltezer+cake.jpg" height="325" width="400" /></a></div>
You could try the same, but with a marshmallow cream and little marshmallows to create a white sheep.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">3/ Easter Bunny</span><br />
I found the idea for the shape of this bunny via <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.be/2013/03/easter-bunny-cake-continuing-grannys.html">Pinterest</a>. And the recipe for the cake on Martha Stewart's website.<br />
So bake the fabulous recipe of the <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/350178/hummingbird-cake?czone=food/cake-center/favorite-cake-recipes&gallery=274212&slide=350178&center=276954">Hummingbird Cake</a>. Next time, I will bake half the recipe because it was to big and my bunny turned out to be very fat :-(<br />
Then make some Orange & Ginger Buttercream to frost this baby.<br />
And use coconut flakes to get the fluffy coat of my Easter Bunny.<br />
Decorate with Easter colored pastel M&M's.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">4/ Bicycle Cupcakes</span><br />
As my colleagues and I would go on a team building activity together, a "wielertoerist" tour in the hilly Oudenaarde, I decided to make cute and energizing cupcakes for each team.<br />
The cupcakes are a variation on my apple & pecan muffins. They are filled with dried fruits and pecans. Topped with fondant, I drew a little bicycle on each one, with the color of every team.<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">1/ Gentse Mastellen</span><br />
This little sweet bun loaded with cinnamon is a traditional recipe from my home town, Ghent. My great grandmother loved to have her mastel on Sunday for breakfast.<br />
You can eat it as such, or cut it in half, spread some butter and brown sugar, and then put it under a hot iron! Sooooo jummie.<br />
I've tried the recipe from "Bloch" and it was a big flop. The ratios are not OK, the dough is to wet.<br />
But the recipe from "Ons Bakboek" (Boerinnenbond) is perfect.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8UdY58A-LAZao3KjQUOCuqCSQVmJbLfXWnOIYhm84rSUj2Ma0VxotpIBW7HJBxYMiqLHs50qz2zVYr6cL3ATOmaA0g-oOLMq__BaGVLR-NeLOggMVEzYDWn8XFhHm4hyphenhyphenEjenC_1VNHwA/s1600/mastellen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8UdY58A-LAZao3KjQUOCuqCSQVmJbLfXWnOIYhm84rSUj2Ma0VxotpIBW7HJBxYMiqLHs50qz2zVYr6cL3ATOmaA0g-oOLMq__BaGVLR-NeLOggMVEzYDWn8XFhHm4hyphenhyphenEjenC_1VNHwA/s1600/mastellen.jpg" height="321" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">2/ Scones</span><br />
The ultimate British scone! Jummie<br />
I tried the recipe from "Bloch" and again a flop. The ratios are good. But you should never ever top scones with an eggwash. And the baking time was to long.<br />
The recipe from Delia Smith "Cakes" however is perfect. Just double the amounts because it only bakes 6 scones...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">1/ The Ultimate Classic Cheesecake</span></div>
<div>
The ultimate cheesecake! It's a lot more work than the regular recipe where you whisk everything in a bowl and than bake everything for an hour. Nope, you have to make a curd and italian meringue. It's almost like a chemistry lab type of job. But it's soooo worth it!</div>
<div>
The cookie base is half digestives and half spekuloos.</div>
<div>
The cream cheese mixture is vanilla and lemon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia1L6Ly4xNz1IBKJPhoOYHpqcYc-h5w_KLo0ysIzeRlueILNWE2kErdpzEw7aA6qG_jtl9Uijy8Gwc3DWPGbcJYu7jqBGkgJ7JquYKkhnpwfWfp9BjoHr2gcRwd70sBg-NC8yt2Fv_Q74/s1600/classic+cheesecake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia1L6Ly4xNz1IBKJPhoOYHpqcYc-h5w_KLo0ysIzeRlueILNWE2kErdpzEw7aA6qG_jtl9Uijy8Gwc3DWPGbcJYu7jqBGkgJ7JquYKkhnpwfWfp9BjoHr2gcRwd70sBg-NC8yt2Fv_Q74/s1600/classic+cheesecake.jpg" height="223" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">2/ Pumpkin Cheesecake</span></div>
<div>
Soo jummie! A variation on the Ultimate Classic Cheesecake</div>
<div>
The cookie base is with gingersnaps.</div>
<div>
The filling is with pumpkin and cinnamon.</div>
<div>
Can be topped with roasted pecans.</div>
<div>
I'm dying to try the same recipe, but with a crême brulée type topping (caramelized crust)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">3/ Nutella Cheesecake</span></div>
<div>
Same thing, but different. The Nutella flavor is very subtle and next time I will add a little bit of salt...</div>
<div>
The cookie base is with mikado cookies.</div>
<div>
The filling is Nutella of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">4/ Ispahan Cheesecake</span></div>
<div>
The best recipe so far!</div>
<div>
Inspired by Pierre Hermé, the French patissier, who combined raspberries, lychees and rose flavor, and called it Ispahan. This cheesecake is soooo fresh and refined! It's a winner!</div>
<div>
The cookie base is biscuits de Reims.</div>
<div>
The filling is with 40% raspberries 60% lychee and rose sirup.</div>

But I'm going to give it a shot.<br />
In november last year, a friend of mine challenged me to make the best cheesecake ever (it should be at least as good as the one from Julie's House in Ghent). After a long search on internet, I found the ultimate recipe! Julie tasted it, loved it and asked if we couldn't work together on developing new recipes. That's how I decided on the 1st of January 2014, as a New Year's resolution, to 1/ try a new recipe every week and 2/ enroll for a Patisserie class.<br />
Every Sunday, I try a least one new recipe and every Thursday I take an amazing class in the CVO, called "Desserts". My teacher, Mia Ackaert, is absolutely amazing. She is so passionate and explains everything like it's a science class. I love it!!!<br />
For inspiration, I took a trip to Paris, to the fabulous shop of Ladurée and bought these...<br />
