Happy Birthday Hannah!

So yesterday I did Hannah's really cool birthday cake! She was so excited about it and announcing to all her friends that "my sister with all her amazing talent made this cake for me" it was cute :D




I was really proud of the fondant job on this one, i almost got it completely perfect! yea yea almost, i didn't take the time to roll it out in a actual circle, so there was a kinda bad part in the back, nothing a star couldn't cover up though :D I had to leave back to school after i dropped it off, so i couldn't stay long, but a house full of 14 yr olds.... i'll pass :D

Compitition Day!

This whole week at school we have been competing each other! Everyone has spent the past week planning a dish they they think will win.

I knew I was going to make my okonomiaki. this is a dish that me and steve used to make ALL the time, and I really wanted to do it as one of my tests last semester, but my chef told me not to. So now I get my chance! My new chef ( Chef Snider) thought the idea was very interesting and was excited to see how I made it turn out. So I planned my dish, Beef tenderloin, on a pancake made with cabbage, red and green onions. Okonomi Sauce with the beef and a cream sauce to even the flavors out. I made crispy onion straws with a slightly spicy flavor to add texture and flair! I had a side of baby bok choy with candied bacon and makademia nuts to add a little sweetness ( i wish i kept those seperate though to keep the crispiness, oh well) So here it is!
It turned out almost exactly how i planned it which i was quite happy about. It actually sold out. I made two whole beef tenderloins (which are quite large) and sold out! I don't know how the votes turned out yet, but I don't think the other girl even sold 5 dishes and I sold way more! It turned out great, and I hope i won! And thats basically it :D
