A Couple Pictures

So, I had my final project in pastry last Monday. My project did not go AT ALL how I wanted - the chocolate garnishes kept crumbling - but luckily he scored me more on effort. Besides, he saw that my garnishes were good, the kitchen was just too hot to let them harden.

Here's a pate a choux swan with white chocolate mousse sitting on a glassy blue simple syrup. You can see my broken Boston on the back of the plate. I also had a chocolate tree garnish - again, they kept breaking.

This picture was sent to me by my Eng. 450 teacher, Bro. Keller. He took it Saturday evening and just wanted to share it with his students. I was pretty impressed.

I can almost see the swan swimming in the Common! Really cool--what is it made out of? (I know you've explained it to me before, but I can't remember.)
Is that the Rexburg temple? Beautiful...

Yes it is the Rexburg temple and the swan is made out of pate a choux.

That looks so incredibly edible. I love cream puffs, they are my favorite pastry. I wish you were going to be here for Christmas.
