Hello everybody!
My name is CeiKar and I was today’s Chef. First of all, I would like to thank everybody that was on class today. I would also like to thank Chef Hoffman for sharing all her knowledge about chocolates and candies to this class this semester. Last, but not least, I would like to thank Maria for helping us get the necessary ingredients on the requisition for today’s production.
On today’s class, we were a little tight because there were three classmates that were absent. Although, we were able to complete today’s production list without a problem and get out on time for club hours. I would like to thank each classmate for its effort and focus on today’s production because without each of you, these chocolates creations would not have existed.
Thanks to Dao and Hannah, we are going to be able to make Mozartkuglen next week because they prepared successful chocolate nougat. Moreover, we were able to get adorable rocher treats.
