"CAKES by LILY"

The Lord has finally blessed me to be able to go to Patisserie & Baking Course at Le Cordon Bleu Seattle, located at 360, Corporate Drive, Tukwila, WA. My wonderful husband told me to go ahead & do the course & that it was his way of showing his appreciation for me & also it'll be his Birthday gift to me.

I started School beginning of January, 2010 & have been enjoying every minute of it. It is a 9 month course, & hope to graduate in September, 2010. Our Chef Instructor Kim has been wonderful to all of us. We are going to miss him as our Instructor as we move on to another class and Instructor.

Everyday is an exciting day filled with anticipation of what we are baking or cooking. So far we've made .......... Chocolate Chip Cookies, Muffins, Cup Cakes , Creme Patisserie, Pavlova, Creme Anglaise, Shortbread, Black Forest Cake, Spritz Cookies, Genoise decorated with Italian Buttercream, French Macaroons, Baked Meringues, Creme Brulee, Creme Caramel, Swiss Meringue, Cream Chantilly, Icebox Cookies, Checkerboard Cookies, Petit Fours and Poured Fondant for the Petit Fours.

I also had the honor & opportunity to demonstrate to the class on  how to make our own fondant. That was really exciting. 

Soon we'll be going on to working with another Chef Instructor Moore, working on Breads of all kinds.

I will keep updating this page as I get more information about what I do at school. The 11th of February was our last day of our 6 week Term. From the 15th of February we start with baking all kinds of breads, puff pastry, croissants etc, for our 2nd Term.
