Jazz Cabaret - Bruschetta

Bruschetta is an toasted Italian bread drenched in olive oil and is usually served topped with garlic or tomatoes. Every year, our school jazz band would have a show in our school with a theme and they would make it like a actually jazz show with food and drinks. This year theme was "The Panorama Roof Ballroom". All the food the food classes made for this event tried to incorporate that theme in and most of them involved stars.

 This was a simple bruschetta recipe with Roma tomatoes, chopped onions, fresh cilantro leaves, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. We used really small star shaped cookie cutters to cut out little star shaped cheese. It was really cute and delicious!

Cake pop

What are cake pops? Cake pops are bit-sized morsel of cake coated in chocolate and stuck on a lollipop stick, that's what. They are really simple to make and eat! You can make an array of different patterns with a simple recipe of cake pops!

Since there was a sale of cake mix, we used cake mix because it was cheaper than using our ingredients and making our own cake.

Before and after we baked our cake.

So the first simple in making cake pops is to crumble the cake!

 

After you deem the crumbles to be small enough, you add frosting. You add a little at a time until the cake sticks together and you are able to roll it into balls.

We had white candy melt to make Hello Kitty!

We only made 4 Hello Kitties and the rest we just rolled into balls.

We also had some pink candy melt.

 The sprinkles we had.

This pink one was one of the ones I made. I was pretty proud of it!

This one fell off the stick so we put it in a custard cup to decorate...

Hello Kitty! The bow was made from 2 heart sprinkles and 1 circle one.

Carrot Cake - Easter Style

In this lab we made carrot cake in the form of Easter eggs! It was really fun to decorate and tasty too.

 

This is the mold we used; there were two different patterns, one was an Easter egg, the other was an chick in an egg. Both were really cute!

The ingredients and the the steps for the cake

My group is always indecisive so we could choose between using walnuts and raisins, so we halved the batter and used both. 

I put the raisins in water to make them plump and hydrated.

Our finished baked cake! 

My cake didn't end up how I wanted to look >.< But it still tasted good (the buttercream a little too sweet though)!
