In this weeks Sweet Indulgence I made  panna cotta and a selection of coulis and other item that the students could then be creative with in designing a stylish plate to present their dessert. The Star bakers had a eye for detail and were all very different. So well done Nelly, Emma and Elena     

Choux Pastry Week – Star baker Paige Willis

This week was probably the hardest yet, with the choux pastry challenge and the results varied in success.

Star baker goes to Paige Willis though as her profiteroles were creative with raspberry ream and raspberry floured white chocolate coating, as well as being all perfectly uniform.
