Making a croquembouche

Here's a challenge for you grade 12s!

READ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! YOU ARE ALL EXPERIENCED ENOUGH IN THIS CLASS TO DO THIS INDEPENDENTLY!

Please review the link below. You are about to try a more advanced choux pastry and caramel creation ... a croquembouche decorated with spun sugar.

Team 1: Micheal, Eugene, Husna and Sam. MICHEAL is the team leader. He will assign tasks.
Team 2: Gachelle, Kath, Arlet, Alex. ARLET is the team leader. She will assign tasks.



1. TOGETHER, RESEARCH how to make/form a croquembouche. You will use MY choux paste and pastry cream recipes. SINGLE RECIPE will be enough.

2. You're going to use the IPADS to make a video of the process and the results of your project to post on your blog! Choose a videographer who will be responsible for taking photos and video during the next three days. They should keep their hands on IPAD and not FOOD!

Day 1 (Friday April 25). Make cream puffs. PREP pastry cream. Take video or photos during the process to show it.

Day 2 (Wednesday April 30) Make pastry cream. Take pictures or video. Test out spun sugar. Plan how to decorate your croquembouche.

Day 3 (Thursday May 1) Fill, dip and put together your croquembouche! Take video and photos throughout. Next week you will edit your video and post on your blogs :)
