On today's lesson we were in the classroom and did theory. We've finished the activities for our cupcakes assignment. We also completed the order form where we had to write what icing, decorations we are going to use for the assignment.
As I've decided before, I'm going to do cupcakes with fresh berries decoration such as cherries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
I also chose three colours for icing- green, pink and white(with no colour)

On last lesson we cooked cupcakes using different cooking techniques-beating, melting and mixing, quick mixing and creaming. In our groups of four we had to choose one technique each and then start cooking. After we cooked all the cupcakes, we had to cut-open one cupcake cooked using each of four techniques and decided which technique is more suitable for the cooking cupcakes and which one should be use for the assignment.
Here are all the cupcakes cooked with different techniques.

On today's lesson we were on classroom doing theory. We were watching clip on decorating cupcakes for our assignment. We had to do some research and find pictures of the cupcakes and their decorations. After we've done that, we had to complete a sheet with couple of activities which will help us to choose what sort of cupcake we are going to do.
At the beginning of the lesson,in our groups of 4 we had to choose which technique of mixing the ingredients we are going to do. We had to choose out of "melt and mix","quick mix", "beating" and "creaming". I chose "quick mix". We will cook 12 cupcakes each by the way we've just chosen. And we will look at all the cupcakes and choose which technique is more suitable for cooking cupcakes and this will be the way we will cook cupcakes for the assignment.
I did some research and decided that I'm going to cook two flours of the cupcakes: vanilla and chocolate. For the decorations, I've decided that I'm going to use icing of different colours such as pink, plain colour and probably green.
Here are some pictures of the cupcakes similar to ones that I want to make.
We also had to choose an event that we are going to cook our cupcakes for, I've decided that my cupcakes are going to be for my mom's birthday party. I'm doing cupcakes with berries because my mom loves different berries and they don't look really messy which is good. They are also not that hard to make, so that means that they won't take much time which is also an important aspect of doing this assignment.

On today's lesson we were cooking lemon cheesecake tarts and caramel tarts. We worked in a group of four. Two of us cooked lemon cheesecake tarts and other two cooked caramel tarts. My partner and I cooked caramel ones.
We had some trouble when mixing the ingredients. We had cheese on our tray and in the recipe it said to mix all the ingredients. We did so, but then we found out that the cheese should not be on the tray and we had to take the cheese out of the sauce pan.
Despite this problem, we cooked really good tarts and they looked really good.
We had to do 12 caramel tarts and other two girls cooked 12 cheesecake tarts. So, at the end we each got 3 caramel tarts and 3 cheesecake tarts.

Term 2. 1st post
PIZZA SCROLLS.
On the last lesson which was on Tuesday, we cooked pizza scrolls.
My partner and I didn't have any problems with cooking. I think we've done really well. But we should improve our skills on mixing all the ingredients together.
And next time we should probably leave pizza scrolls for couple more minutes in the oven.
All the other things went well and we got 6 tasty pizza scrolls. They looked really nice and tasted so too.
