We also had a recipe for a Neopolitano Cheese Cake, but we didn't get around to make it. I don't think I have ever had that kind of cheese cake before, but it sounds kind of interesting, except that it has raisins in the recipe. Yes, if you have been following my blog, you know that I'm not a big fan of raisins. Actually, my mother told me that I used to LOVE raisins as a child, but being the very impressionable child that I was, I followed my brother's lead with the raisin hating... He used to say things like, "Ewww... you like raisins?! YUCK!" and that was the end of my raisin eating days. Anyways, we also finished up our Chocolate Roulade with a Kirsch (cherry for those of you who may be wondering) soak and Pistachio butter cream filling. It was fun finishing it off with the fondant. Unfortunately, though, I didn't have time to decorate it at all. *sigh* Well, at least I think I did a pretty decent job actually putting the fondant on the cake. Fondant is kind of fun to work with... I was secretly reminiscing back to my younger days playing with Play Dough! Take a look at my handiwork. Then take a look at the cake itself - pretty cool, huh?
This one was definitely a fun cake. My husband liked this one a lot because the cake was not too sweet (though the fondant was extremely sweet).
Now, it's time to crack the books and start studying for my mid-term written test. We already started with the practical test by baking and building our cakes. I wanted to do a Kahlua soak, but I couldn't find any, so I went with an Amaretto soak with coffee butter cream. I was a little nervous about the combo, but when I actually tried it, it tasted pretty good! YEY! So, again, wish me luck and send all your happy and studious thoughts my way! =)
