My girlfriend asked me to make some cupcakes for her dinner party that would match her new decor. Just wanted to share these pudry little guys with you!! Enjoy!

Cake Fight!!

My soon to be hubby and myself wanted some original engagement photos… we aren’t really the type of people to sit in a park and stare into each others eyes so we did this instead….

Oh! I made the cake! (its done in our “wedding colours”)

Enjoy!

Cake on the fly…

Jacquie — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:36:57 +0000

General Manager came to me at 6, just as we were starting service and told me he needed a birthday cake for a VIP party of 16 sitting at 8pm. VIP was a friend of the chef’s and apparently a contestant on Top Chef so I wasn’t allowed to use my ” in the freezer on the fly back up cake(s)” for events such as these…. so I pulled this together in an hour and a half…

Layered cake: Chocolate sponge, roasted pistachio mouse, Alba truffle, ricotta cream and salted chocolate glaze.

Sweet 16 Cake: Blink 182

A friend of mine from work asked me to make a cake for her little sister’s sweet 16 birthday party. She loves Blink 182 so that was the theme.

Enjoy!

Summer Peas and Berries

Jacquie — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:56:53 +0000

This is the dessert course I served as part of a tasting menu we did for a fellow chef. It was a summer pea cremeux, with a strawberry sorbet. I also added dollops of creme fraiche for a bit of tang and garnished with compressed strawberry slices and pea-shoot frawns.

Peachy pre-dessert

Jacquie — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:50:10 +0000

We had a chef friend of ours coming in for the evening to dine tonight so we put together a nice 10 course original tasting for him. This is what I served him for a pre-dessert. Its a roasted peach sorbet, sitting on a small buttermilk biscuit and I finished it with some bee pollen. It turned out really lovely.

My interpretation of Babà Al Rum

Jacquie — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 05:29:08 +0000

I was playing around the other day with some dessert ideas and put together my interpretation of Baba al rum. I made the baba bread, soaked it in a rum syrup, and broke it. Underneath is lightly sweetened ricotta mousse (the syrup is very sweet), and fig puree. I served it with fresh fig, vanilla gelato and some chocolate cookie bits.

BUON APPETITO!

Plum+Rosewater+Parmesan

Jacquie — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 06:09:57 +0000

Summer is finally here and I’m starting to play around with some ideas. Here is one I came up with this week inspired by floating island dessert. Its a plum focused dessert with a rosewater poached meringue, white sponge, and parmesan cream. The parmesan cream is encapsulated inside the ball of white chocolate and the customer breaks the ball to allow to cream to flow out.

Red Velvet Cake

Jacquie — Tue, 24 May 2011 06:05:47 +0000

A colleague of mine approached me to make a large 16” red velvet cake for his in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. I was well into 15hr work day when I snapped this photo, so it not the best but it will do.
