happy bastille day eve.....

July 14 is Bastille Day. The school is celebrating by seeing who can make the most crepes in 10 minutes.  The happy news is that we get to eat all of the crepes.  Viva la France.
Today was bavarian day and it wasn't your everyday bavarian.  The bottom half is a sponge cake that is a about 1/2 inch thick and it went inside a small ring mold.  We stenciled a polka dot pattern on it to give it some character.  The bavarian cream was flavored with blood orange puree and poured in and allowed to set.  It was topped off with a thin layer of blood orange glacage (jello - giggle).  The hardest part was getting it out of the ring mold.  It was a lot of work for a little dessert but it sure was good.
