Graduation, con't

Sheets and sheets of food...and this was nowhere near all of it.

Oops, I almost forgot to tell you about the food at graduation. Well, actually it's the food we baked for our final exam. I think it is slightly cheeky of them to make us cater our own graduation--we actually have to come in early to heat up and plate all the food. That said, it makes sense, we made a ton of food for our final and it was excellent! All our chocolates (peanut butter nougat and assorted bonbons), our viennoiserie (croissants, danish, and brioche rolls), petits fours (palmiers, macarons, bourbon pecan cookies, and pate de fruits), tarts (linzer tarts and jalousies), and cakes (genoise, lemon chiffon, and chocolate). Unfortunately the lemon curd tartlets and everything made with choux got too soggy in the refrigerator over the weekend.

You see that whole cake behind the tray?
That's my cake!

We had so much food that my cake ended up being used as decoration. On one hand, bummer I wanted to eat it; on the other, very cool that it was nice enough to be decorative!
