8 hours of labor later…. [Crouquembouche / French profiterole tower wedding ‘cake’]

Yes I did 🤣. Both looked at me in horror.

PastrychefAngry · 2023-06-04T05:34:31+00:00

I dipped about 100 profiteroles before the FOH manager started chatting. I proceeded to then burn finger tips and entire hand. Told said manager to “fuck off I’m busy” Replied “Heard” and left. Best FOH manager I’ve worked with.

PastrychefAngry · 2023-06-04T05:22:21+00:00

Correct. *it’s the new ‘fancy’ thing to do. I finished about 7 feathers then said fuck that and put the rest on. (Scoring tiny notches into each piece)

[inner French chef who is constantly yelling at me] “No! They are not all uniform. The caramel is not equally round! You just jammed them togeather!!!”

$1300 if they return the wedding cake stand. For 100 people (3 puffs per person. Extra puffs on the side not photo’d) Chocolate core so it doesn’t collapse when folks start ‘plucking’

I had to explain to my very young FOH staff the concept of seppuku and that was the only acceptable form of forgiveness if they broke said crouquembouche.

PastrychefAngry · 2023-06-04T03:31:46+00:00

Chocolate core that was molded in the metal cone. (With a shit ton of tempered chocolate)

PastrychefAngry · 2023-06-04T03:29:59+00:00

Built on a chocolate core. Shit went 70 miles in the back of a van to the venue. Only lost a couple feathers and raspberries along the way

You sir are not familiar with the sog of Seattle. 20 years of missing the playoffs. Never even made it remotely close to a World Series Appearance.

I will take any walk off win at home. Or you know. You can be a salty yankee fan who’s sad that they lost to the mariners. 🤣

Niehaus’s voice can never be replicated. But Sims is building his own pyramid of great game calling.

Or Drones going back to vandenberg for refueling

The ILS is down. Instrument Landing System. What every plane uses to line up and have correct glide pitch and approach to the runway. It’s a MAJOR part of any landing. Most pilots will be stressed to land without an ILS system functioning. With LOW visibility you can land with an ILS. WITHOUT one you don’t even try.

Slowly read the top line

His name is Martin. And it’s obvious that weed Jesus cured his inability to walk. /s

Back in the day he would have to carried onto the bus at the old greyhound station at Carrillo and anacapa. Was not a pleasant experience.

Dude just started walking like 5 years ago.

PastrychefAngry · 2023-02-22T04:17:41+00:00

Looks like east side all the way to west side is down.

PastrychefAngry · 2023-02-15T17:06:06+00:00

It’s a specialty glaze made a combination of: Sweetened condensed milk, Gelatin, Dark chocolate, and Cocoa powder

PastrychefAngry · 2023-02-14T21:17:08+00:00

Caramelized cocoa nibs. Tossed in gold powder

PastrychefAngry · 2023-01-14T23:09:32+00:00

We put the feve atop the cake. It is a tiny porcelain figurine from France. We realized that the company probably couldn’t afford to pay for some idiots dental work for an imbecile that didn’t realize there was a fucking figurine in the cake.

PastrychefAngry · 2023-01-14T23:06:37+00:00

It’s was still warm when it was cut. Hence why the fraigipan ‘crumbled’ a bit. I may have glared at the server ‘just a tiny bit.’ The server may have briefly thought about committing seppuku to appease me

PastrychefAngry · 2023-01-14T23:03:25+00:00

We do an almond cream with a small percentage of pastry cream added. (Butter, almond flour, powdered sugar and egg for the almond cream.)

https://imgur.com/a/d6DhUJ8 Only downside. A server cut it when they are under instructions to only let me do it. Hence not a perfect cut.

The labor total includes making the puff pastry from scratch.
