Today we learned how to make these really nice cakes filled with a caramel mousse and flavored with coffee and cocoa. The bottom part is a light cake line-decorated with chocolate.

Charlotte aux Poires
My first attempt at this kind of cake/fruit tart… It tasted delicious but I still need to work on my decorative skills @_@.
Sakura Cheesecake
Last night in keeping with the season I made a sakura cheesecake in class today. It’s actually 2 types of cheesecake; the first one is enclosed inside the second, and has pickled sakura flower petals mixed in along with some sakura liqueur (kind of strong, but very good!). This cake also has NO FLOUR in it. At all. Just a spoonful of corn starch.
Strawberry Shortcake
Today I learned how to make Japanese-style strawberry shortcake. In Japan, shortcake = strawberry shortcake. There is no other kind, and it’s my family’s favorite so that suits me just fine!
The cake itself is extremely easy to make. It’s the frosting styling that’s tricky as it’s made of fresh cream and can easily be ruined.
Roll Cake
Today the teacher had us make a roll cake, a favorite of young women in Japan.
Mont Blanc
I tried making a mont blanc cake for the first time in class today. Using the marron cream to create the “mountain” effect was pretty challenging.
