Every experience has its high points and its low points, but never is it without value. And I have learned so much from this experience on JET that I cannot even begin to fully explain it. It was a wonderful surprise receiving a goodbye gift from my teachers (and that my panda-loving nature left such an impression).
さようなら、東高校！
Today we worked on making two kinds of wagashi, mizu-yokan (the jelly-like substance in the bamboo cups) and waka-ayu (the fish). The waka-ayu were hard to fold and wrap… But they somehow managed to come out nicely in the end!
Both challenging and yet fun to assemble ^_^.
This rollcake is one of my favorites. It was my first time using yogurt cream to frost the outside of one, too, and it was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be.
A two-tone chocolate butter cake with ganache frosting. It’s a lot easier to assemble than it looks!
