Pastry Night Owls!

Welcome to my awesome new group of Professional Pastry students at Tante Marie's Cooking School. They're the "night owls" of the school... putting in a full day at work, then arriving at school ready for action at 6pm.

It's only the second week of school, but already they've baked some killer cookies (Cornmeal with Currant & Rosemary and Whole Wheat Cocoa Nib Sables were two of my favorites...), then they tackled Pate a Choux and Pastry Cream, then it was on to the scones!


On their second go-round, the students were already coming up with some beautiful flavor combinations for their scones, like orange-cardamom and lemon-raspberry. One student turned his ginger scone into a ginger-pear shortcake with softly whipped cream!
