Macarons from Paris!! Gift from aunt(: They are really really good, a assortment of different flavours (vanilla bean, dark chocolate, matcha, red bean, citrus, strawberry, coffee and some I cant identify). They look rustic, not like those with specimen types that are baked just for photoshoots. But they taste a million times better.

Raspberry chocolate cake. Chocolate genoise layers filled with mascarpone cream embedded with fresh raspberries, glazed with chocolate ganache and wrapped in a ruffled chocolate band and topped with some raspberries. Led to an once in a life time opportunity(:

Fresh mint ice cream with homemade fudgy chocolate chunks. Not like those neon green frozen confections, but infused with chopped mint leaves not flavouring. Very herbal, different taste sensation from after eights. Homemade chunks untempers the chocolate, so melts quicker in the mouth.

Hazelnut vanilla bean cheesecake with hazelnut shortbread crust. I found hazelnut butter(:

Honey oatmeal bread. I find this is the only bread that I keep making over and over again.

A million disasters this week, from uneven chocolate bands, cracked roulades, unset charlottes, thick sorbets. Inexperience plagues everything that I do.
