Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Hot Apple Charlotte
This was the most amazing thing! The butter caramel sauce was nice and the vanilla ice cream was delicious, but that was nothing compared to the charlotte. These individual size charlottes are made with heavily buttered white bread around the outside and are filled with a buttery, chunky apple compote. When you bake them the butter basically fries the bread. Holy cow they were good! By the decoration on top is isomalt, a type of beet sugar, that has been melted and drizzled onto a silpat to make a pretty spiral.
