Little pies

Hi Dears,
I brought a new recipe for pies, and great personal news!
 I am the chosen cook of the week on the biggest Hungarian recipe sharing site - at Nosalty.hu! Yay! A whole article is about me, with my cakes... http://www.nosalty.hu/ajanlo/het-szakacsa-habcsok-mezi

But this recipe of the pies is only Yours, it's not on that site, yet. :D 
I baked them in muffin trays, but You can bake it in one big tart form, if you prefer those. I used fresh fruits for the filling, and the result was really tasty.

Practising for the Baking exam & Mother's Day


Hello Dears,
I hope You all right, and didn't get any flu like me during these extremely hot days. I can only wonder how I managed to get this, when every other normal people enjoyed the sun, and they got tanned and I got a cold instead... :( 

Anyway I am recovering, I have some days off from my trainee program, so I am at home, reading books, and when I feel a little bit better I am baking of course. I have my first baking exam next week, with 5 types of pastries.

Wedding Cupcakes with decorated cookies

Hello Dears, 
Last weekend, we were at a beautiful wedding ceremony, and party! 
(It was my second time to attend to one, and this time I was one of the bridesmaids, too! :) ) 
So as I am a pastry cook to be, what else could have been my gift, than some kind of desserts? 
The main color theme of the wedding was green with orange, that's why I've chosen the green cupcake liners, and even the cupcakes top were covered with green frosting.

Isler Cake

Hi Dears!
It's the end of March already? 
So much had happened since I last wrote here...
For example we had 3 birthday and 4 namedays to celebrate, for which I had to bake of course... :D 
I have 8-10, I don't really know for sure, how much, but I have a lot recipes to share with You! :) 
Another big happening in my life was to finish my internship in the Caffé I was trained for 5 months. Normally people would have a small break now, but me? Why would I? I'm starting tomorrow my extra internship in the hotel I was working before, as a receptionist, only now I will be confectioner trainee. :) 
But let's get back to this cake. This is my own idea, a revolutionary, to use the Isler pastry to make a cake.

Visiting the Ice cream Exhibition

Hello! 
Spring is finally here, that means ice cream season starts as well. :) 
And to start it in a glamorous way the biggest ice cream exhibition was held for 3 days in Budapest. 
As a confectioner trainee I felt it's my duty to be there.
(And let's face it who wouldn't have gone to taste the new ice cream creations of the year? :D )  So I visited it with my fiancé. 
I brought You my little review of the event and more than 30 tasteful pictures of it!

Pathés

Hi Dears, 
Do You know what's your nightmare cookie?
The pathé... It's so delicious, and moist, and it's only one bite right? You always want another one... So bye bye diet, it will kill that all...
But it worth it, I promise.
The best about them is the technique, as we can create dozens of different styles and forms, I studied this at school, so the recipe is their invention. :)
Let's see how to bake them...

Macaron challenge


 Hi Dears!
As You might know, I am not a macaron expert. 
I tried it a few times, the first became something totally different from a real macaron (pictures here), and the next was kind of a disaster (story here). 
But I found an easy-looking recipe on a Hungarian blog StreetKitchen. 
She makes it in a so easy way, I had to try it once more. I wanted to bake it for Valentine's Day for my fiancé.
The only question is, will I manage this challenge now? :D

Confectionery studies - 13-14th week

Hello! 
Long time, no see, right?
But I try to navigate you in my past few weeks of pastry chef studies. We learnt so many goodies... As I didn't write about the last 4 or 5 ? courses, now I combine two lessons, which were quite similar to each other.
