So today was probably the most entertaining demo i have ever been in . We had Chef Christian for the first time in a demo and he is very funny. He made a St honore Chiboust (the one with the ball on top) and a Paris- brest cake. Tomorow i will be making hte St. Honore Chiboust cake but maybe not with the ball on top. Anywho they are both tasty.

Soooo today was also my demo assist which is when we have to assist in a demo for superior or intermediate pastry. Mine was a superior pastry class and they were doing ice sculpture so i didn’t have to assist much. Just sat outside and watched chef Armando do his thing and got him a cup of tea at the end. Also a bonus was it only took him like 20 min to do the sculpture so i had my afternoon off and got all my laundry done. For a sculpture that size the ice is about 100$ and you charge about 250-300 for the product.
