15.5 oz coconut- 6.75 separate
18.75 oz chocolate
3.4 oz - with chocolate
3 eggs

36 oz sugar

********************
I always have trouble finding the right ratio of crust to cheesecake in this recipe. Each time I make it the crust must turn out being a different thickness. This time I made two and a half sheet trays. I tried making it thinner so the topping could be thicker. In turn, the topping I made following the double recipe was not enough, and I had to make double that to have enough to fill my trays. I sprinkled coconut and some extra crumbs on top because I had no almonds. I added some vanilla to the cheesecake part to make it taste a little less “eggy.”

*******************
There is a problem with the ovens when it gets busy in the kitchen; people put things in and change the temperatures without asking or letting people know. That causes items of mine to either burn or take forever to bake, and this tart was no exception. The oven temperature was too high and when I switched to the lower oven, someone pulled out the tray by accident and the tart slid half way off. The tart was saved, for the most part, just not servable to guests. Luckily Scott, who caught the falling tart with his wrist, was not burned too badly. It made for a nice staff dessert.

I was really excited to decorate these cupcakes for the wedding shower. The party sheet had no information about anything specific like the bride’s colors or and flavored cake they wanted, so I didn’t have much to go on. I browsed the Martha Stewart website for some ideas and thought the piped flowers were really cute. I was happy with the way they turned out, for the first time doing it. I finished early and was able to help bring them out to the dining room as they were setting up for the shower. We set one at each place setting on the tables, alternating colors and mixing in the 25 red velvets. It was really special to hear the mother and family’s reaction when seeing them, I could tell they were happy with them and glad that I made something special for them. The party also requested a dessert buffet with lemon squares, brownies, cookies, and fresh fruit. For a ladies lunch of 75, I thought there was a lot of dessert; proof being the full plates that were left when the party was over.

Chef wanted me to play around to come up with a recipe for a cinnamon ice cream soufflé that a party requested for a dessert. He said it was basically cinnamon ice cream and cream, whipped and frozen, in an oreo crumb crust. I also tried it in a graham crust. I made the crust and baked it in soup cups then piped the whipped up cream and ice cream. I added a little more cinnamon to enhance the flavor.

1 ¾ oz melted butter
8 oz oreo crumbs
1 oz melted butter
24 oz cinnamon ice cream
18.75 oz cream
