big cake, lemon cake, mini cakes

Of course first up ... a classic demo by our dear chef... a lovely pound cake with dried fruits: Cake aux Fruits



my version of the fruit cake..didn't exactly have cherries but true to form tried to drench mine in much Grand Marnier syrup
very happily ambushed another LCB student to accept my extra fruit cake
the rest will be heading to London on Mon ..a little contribution to my friend's office pantry


my little Madelines.... such pretty little things....
a little 'histoire' :
The madeleine or petite madeleine is a traditional small cake from Commercy, a commune of the Meuse département in northeastern France.
tasted mostly of honey cos my class ran out of lemon peels.. but guess i like them better that way
am inspired to make earl grey tea ones today during tea eating Aoki Sadharu macaroons
chef also made some refreshing lemony cakes... known as Weekend... hmmm
does that mean eating it would make u feel as good as the weekend?
managed to get some shots of top pastry shop Dalloyau's version of them too..
