Babygirl friday pictures are coming later, I promise! For now, here’s one of my plated desserts I’ve never posted. Surprise, I’m also a pastry chef.

Chocolate and ginger custard layered with flourless chocolate cake and white chocolate coated dried crepe crunch. Topped with salted caramel sauce and vanilla bean whipped cream, top deco is a candied ginger slice, dark chocolate square, and caramelized sugar glass. Accompaniments include ginger beer caramel sauce, hokey pokey crumble, and a single piece of a Whittaker ginger beer block.

gluten free triple chocolate mousse cake

from bottom to top: flourless dark chocolate cake, milk chocolate mousse, white chocolate mousse

garnished with semisweet chocolate shavings and a black cocoa chocolate sauce

fun fact! black cocoa is what gives oreos both their distinct flavor AND dark color! use it in any recipe that calls for cocoa powder to instantly make that recipe taste like an oreo! :D

I was so delighted by this pomegranate and white chocolate focused dessert from the baking department at culinary school today

School update:

I got 100% on my plated dessert and a 96% on my final (i was, and i know how dumb it is, upset about it but only because school has always been hard for me and i was finally for the first time ever passing with flying colors) but then my 5 points of extra credit bumped me back up to 100% for the class!

The next 12 weeks i have my bread class and math so pray for me. Math is my actual enemy.
