Today, actually yesterday, i had the most chocolate making in one day. I make 2 chocolate cakes and i have to say it's so fun and tiring.

Making chocolate cake is not a big deal but making the decoration it's the hardest one. I almost spend 2 hours just doing the decoration thing. I hope my chef assistant don't hate me for choosing that tow cake. 

The first Cake is Paradise. 

Paradise is a dark chocolate mousse cake consists of:

Chocolate Sponge Cake

Dark Chocolate Mousse

Strawberry jam

Dark Chocolate Mousse

Dark Chocolate Ganache 

You don't have to ask me if it's deliciou or not bcs chocolate cake is never goes wrong. Trust me. Add chocolate to you cake, and it's become so delicious you can't resits. But of course, eating chocolate cake comes with a great price : sinful fat oh sinful fat.

.

.

For the decoration, i make some rectangle chocolate and chocolate flowers. The hardest thing to do is how you arrange the chocolate flower petal. Once you already put it, you cannot change again bcs the ganache layer will be destroyed. So, each time i have to put the chocolate flower petal on the cake, i can't help but keep whispering; don't mess up. 

The second Cake is 

Ambroise

Ambrose is pretty much the same with Paradise. The only different is that Paradise use dark chocolate and Ambroise use milk chocolate lol

Ambroise cake consists of:

Chocolate Sponge Cake

Milk Chocolate Mousse

Dark Chocolate Mousse

Dark Chocolate Ganache 

Trust me i have to give an A for this cake bus it's so delicious.

So that's it. Bye bye from the two chocolate cake.

Day 2 of Mousse Creating lesson

Mousse again?

Why not?

Today, my chef decide to teach me Mount Fuji Cake. With the shape resembling mt. fuji, this cake is a killer. I'm actually quite impressed with the chef. Even though he already live in Indonesia, he still remember his country and proud of it. Some of the menu selection at the school is Japanese. Starting from sweets till main dish, there are some menu that reflect his country.

Out of all japanese themed sweet, I fall in love with this cake. 

Seeing this cake actually quite motivate me. If Japanese people can made their food loved by all people in this world, why Indonesia can't? I hope there is some people out there who see Indonesia food as a potential and try to sell it to other country. 

If yesterday, our founding father fights the bad people away from this place, today our job is to represent and develop our country. I think if we can develop our food to be liked by more people at another country, we can help our country economy to grow, and many more.

So back to the topic, this cake consists of :

Chocolate Sponge Cake as the base

Cream Cheese Mousse with almond chunk 

Strawberry and Chocolate sauce as decoration

I'm super happy with the results

So that's it

Bye guys

 Thank you for reading and see you again when I bake again

Finally!

After months of dreaded science torture i have, i finally come to the most awaited time of the year: semester break.

I'm so happy because finally i can cook again and create what my mind always imagine while sitting on the class.

I know, some of you might think i choose this cake because this cake is so hard to make or anything, but no, i judge a cake by it's looks not by how hard to make it. I hate cakes that are so hard to make but taste bad. I prefer easy cake but the taste worth it. For example: Mille Crepes. I hate make this a lot. If any of my friends, sister, or my niece asks me to make mille crepe for them, i would rather take some money and buy them. i'm not kind of patient person HAHA

The Chef's assistant who assists me on class also tell me how they hate making mille crepe and i can only laugh at that, saying that i also hate it. I wonder do all pastry chef in this world also think the same about mille crepe?

Back to the topic, I'm in love with this cakes. Not only the looks,  I'm in love with this because it's my first ever Mousse Cake. I always love mousse but never decided to make some by myself. Why? Because mousse it a tricky thing to make. One step wrong, you can make other and your stomach ache. Delicious but kind of dangerous at the same time. 

Some of you may wonder what truly myrtus consists of right? It's simple.

On the base we have Pate Biscuitti 

 a spread of whipping cream made from fresh cream

and then Blueberry mousse for the rest the cake 

The combination of how pate biscuitti taste and the blueberry mousse is perfect and i love it. It's my new most favorite cake. 

For decoration, i finally got the permission to make it myself(of course with the help of the chef assistant). I decorated it with a whoop of whipping cream, almond chunks, and pink chocolate pyramid. 

It's so pretty.

So that's it. Thank you for reading my post and see you again.
