Skills Canada 2011 - Baking

Skills Canada 2011- Baking

This past year I was chosen by the Ministry of Universities and Colleges to compete in the Skills Canada Baking competition.

I accepted immediately. Why wouldn't I? :D

For the competition we had 5 hours to create,

• 10'' mousse cake


• puff pastries


• moulded bonbons


• dipped bonbons


• chocolate box


• pate choux


• pate sucree

I made a passionfruit mousse layered with vanilla sponge topped with fresh fruit and clear glaze finished with chocolate lattice.

Puff pastry napolean with raspberry jam and custard topped with a fresh raspberry. Mango and orange cream bonbon. Toasted pecan truffle, swans and classic lemon tart.

Skills competition is always a lot of pressure when competiting and preparing for it. I've done more than three competitions in the past year and have to say it isn't easy. I look forward in competiting more into the skills canada competitions when heading back to school.
