Day 24: Celebration!

You know you're in France when, at the end of your final demonstration class, your chef tells you good luck on your final exam and then cracks open 6 bottles of champagne to celebrate the end of your program!

Today at 12:30pm we gathered to have our last demonstration class.  Chef Cotte had finally returned from his vacation and showed us a demonstration on how to make Chocolate-Bergamot Mousse Cake with Orange Crisp.  It was a really fun class and the cake looked like a double chocolate mousse cake from Filomena inside and was covered with a chocolate ganache glaze outside.

After the demonstration our Chef cut up the cakes and we all enjoyed cake and champagne as an afternoon snack.  The cake was delicious and the champagne hit the spot too!



Until next time Au Revoir and Bon Appetit!
