Fundamentals Final

Today was our last day in Fundamentals. For our final exam we had to make pastry cream, cream anglaise, cookies, diplomat cups, saute apples and julienne carrots. We accomplished all of this last Friday which was day eight, that way all we had left to do was build our tower out of royal icing. Our chef gave us a template of what the tower was supposed to look like. Throughout the week, we piped each piece out of royal icing and let them dry so that they were really hard. After all of the pieces were piped we used more icing to stick them together and to build our tower. These pieces are very fragile and will break very easily if you are too hard or clumsy with them. We eventually got out whole tower built and this is the final product.
