Lavender Pound Cake

I made lavender pound cake. my mom got some lavender from a farm in Maui. I really wanted to make lemon but this is what I made.

 I wore my new apron from Pineapple Grill that chef Isaac gave me

 Here's the lavender

Well I think it turned out good except I wish I  would have sifted out the lavender pieces. First I made a lavender sugar by grinding it with sugar. My mom found a recipe online and we changed it a little but we should have changed the part of the chunks of lavender because I didn't like it in there

My mom made some lavender whipped cream made from icing sugar infused with lavender and she made some strawberry coulis, (thats a strawberry sauce) and I tried to make this fancy but I messed up a little

Coconut candy, passion fruit butter and banana bread

We went to a stand in Maui called Julias Banana Bread and this is what we bought:

 I HATE coconut but my mom loves it. She said this was the best candy in the world and it is made by cooking fresh cocanut in water and sugar cane

 we dipped the banana bread in the passion fruit butter. YUM. My mom made some when we got home and its way better because she put a vanilla bean in it

 the lady named Julia uses strawberry bananas and no eggs in the banana bread

 the bread was perfectly baked and sooooo good

This is the really bad road we had to drive to get the banana bread and it was so scary.

Pineapple Grill in Maui

So we went to Pineapple Grill and its the same owner as my favorite restaurant in San Diego the prado.

I got a pineapple grill apron!!!!!

 This is Chef Issac. He's really super cool.

This is Chris and he knows Chef Jonathan at the prado. he is the owner of pineapple grill. He's really nice too. They have really good food too. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

homemade butter

my friend chef chris gave me a card for his new place and on it was a recipe for butter because his new place is called bread and butter. my mom finally got a butter churn and we made some butter tonight.

 good quality cream from jimbos

 churn is made in france

 its turning to butter in just a couple minutes

 a cool butter mold with a cow on it

 you have to squeeze out the liquid with cheese cloth

 this is the buttermilk we got and we will make either banana bread or shortcakes with it

YUM!!!!!

the best fudge sauce ever

I made this before school yesterday for my moms latte and it takes only like 3 minutes

 only 1 ounce chocolate, I used bittersweet valrhona and a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp valrhona cocoa powder

 weigh 100 grams glucose and heat it with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cream

pour over chocoate and let sit 1 minute then whisk it up. thats it. YUM

Fruity mellow crunch cookie

So we saw some leftover fruty pebbles crunch in the pantry and decided to make a new cookie.
Here it is. i made up the name because blackberry-fruity pebbles-marshmellow cookie was too long.

 we used the bluberries and cream cookie recipe from momofuku and left out the milk crumb and added little tiny marshmellow bites from kraft and the fruty pebbles crunch from momofuku and some freeze dryed blackberries.

well I picked out the blackberries because I dont like the seeds!

Pizzelle cookies

 we bought the iron pizelle iron on the internet.

 so cool

 This is where the recipe came from and the gelato too

 they wont stick but you have to use oil spray on the iron

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  vanilla ice cream and salted carmel gelato we made

white chocolate macadamia nut caramel popcorn

ok well my Mom made the caramel corn because I might burn myself. I piped the white chocolate on.

it was hard to pipe the choclate in little lines without it going everywhere.
The recipe came from David lebovitz blog and we changed it a little.

Bouchons

 Here I am measuring the ingrediants.

 I usually make Thomas Kellers bouchons but we tried these. Thomas Kellers are a lot better!!!

 I melted the chocolate.

 here I am using the pastry bag to make the bouchons. Its hard though.

thats homemade salted carmel gelato in the middle. YUM

my first baking demo Blueberries and Cream Crumb

so my brother got his games took away and so he did a magic show for everone. So I did a baking demo but I think it wasnt as popular as the magic but it was still good. Oh and I havent put many things I have been baking because our computer is broke and wont let me put the pictures on and my dad hasnt had time to fix it. I did this last Saturday and it was my first baking demo.

my mom helped me make these tickets for everone and the time was on the back

 here I am holding up the tickets for my show. I only did the milk crumb for this resipe because the whole thing would take too long maybe.My dad was suprised how complicated the resipe was. And the bluberry and cream is his favorte cookie from Momofuku milk Bar. Thats my new baking book
I showed everyone how to use the scale but my mom forgot to take a picture of that part. oh yeah, all the mess by the book is corn starch. That stuff is realy messy!!!!!!!!!!! I think there was some of the floor too

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Corn Cookies from momofuku milk bar

here are my new favorit cookies. WOW!

 my mom put the freeze dryed corn in the vitimix and made a powder.

You have to put the dough in the frige for a while

 we baked them less time and the corn flavor wasnt as good. These were baked a little more and they were so good.

 WOW!
