POUND CAKE

    This week we also baked pound cake. This cake was simple but took a long time to bake.  It was a dense and moist cake that looked like a loaf of bread. It was semi sweet and buttery. It tasted really good!

POSTRE CHAJÁ

   Today we made a dessert from Uruguay. We made a peach meringue cake called Postre Chajá. It is made up of two layers of angel food cake, soaked in peach syrup, with frosting, peach slices, and crushed meringue pieces in between the two layers. It was really time consuming to make because of the many processes, but it was not really difficult.

EGG TARTS

   This time we made egg tarts. They are traditional Chinese tarts. The tart itself had to be molded and shaped first then the egg mixture had to be poured it. Later after its all done, I baked it in the oven. The egg mixture was easier to make but all in all it turned out great.

CUPCAKES

    Last week we made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. This is a typical American dessert. This cupcakes turned out well as it is familiar to the both of us but it was my first time making it from scratch. The frosting was a little hard to put and and make it look professional but overall I think it turned out great!

Next Time

   We did not make anything this week, but we decided on some things to make next. We are going to try to make Bienestich, a German cake, and Budapestbakelse, a Swedish cake roll. We also plan to attempt to make macarons again when we meet up as it did not turn out as good as we hoped for it to be.

BANH QUY

    This week, nhi and I made a veitnamese dish. Nhi's mom was a great help for this dish. It was complex and took a bit of time but with her help it came out close to perfection.

TIRAMISU

   We made tiramisu,  a complex, delicious Italian cake.
