Day 51 - Cat's Tongue & Feuilles D'Automne

Above is the Cat's Tongue Cookies that I finished today. I thought this tasted good and it was easy to make.
Below is the Feuilles D'Automne. Working with sheet of chocolate wasn't easy. It was made with chocolate and a little oil, then spread in a thin layer on a sheet pan. Then I had to scrap it up with a spatula, which mine wasn't flexible enough, so I used a plastic bowl scraper. Then the chocolate would melt to the touch. But I got it done. Fortunately I only had to make four. Inside of the chocolate is three layers of almond meringue disk and chocolate mouse between each disk.

Day 50 - Opera Cake

Yesterday and today I baked an Opera Cake. The Chef told me that if this would have been my practical, I would have made a 100 on it. I didn't take a picture of the whole cake. Here is just one slice and all the slices look exactly the same.

I'll tell you what the layers are from top to bottom:

- Opera Chocolate Glaze

- Coffee French Butter Cream

- Syrup (coffee & rum) soaked Joconde

- Ganache

- Syrup soaked Joconde

- Coffee French Butter Cream

- Syrup soaked Joconde

- Chablon (thin footing)

I plan to make this at home this coming weekend for my family.

Today, I also worked on Feuilles D'Automne. I started by making Chocolate Mouse and Almond Meringue Disk. Tomorrow I'll complete it. Also I started making Cat's Tongue Cookies (which is kind like a Milano cookie. I'll also finish this tomorrow.
