In my last entry, I mentioned we
had some great opportunities on our CSC assignment.
Our hotel, Radisson Blu Sharjah, has been great to us. One of our guilty pleasures while working in
the Chill Out Café has been indulging with the pastries.
On Thursday, we had a chance to meet the
executive chef and pasty chef of the hotel.
The pastry chef then spent three hours with us showing us how to make cakes
and mousse. We also had demonstrations
on how to work with chocolate, frost cakes, and create masterpieces.
Yes, we did get to taste the
final products! The best part is that we now have the recipes. (Start with two kg. of butter. Add 36 eggs....)
During my stay at the hotel, I
have run into two mystery fruits. Do you
know what they are?

Looks fantastic! Did they warn you to bring bigger clothes for the trip home after all those pastries? As for the fruits, the first one looks like a dragonfruit, and the second one is a rambutan. Did you enjoy them?
ReplyDeleteHi, Tracy. The workshop was fun! I picked up some great tips. The good news is that I started with bigger, flowing clothes so only I knew the true impact of those pastries :) I liked the rambuten. I never had the chance to get access to the dragonfruit again. I plan to see if I can find both in Austin.
