week 9- we made butter cream. The butter cream was very easy to make and it is something that I will continue to make. I do prefer chantilly cream, but the butter cream is easier to work with when decorating cakes. Everyone only added vanilla for flavoring, but I added vanilla and cinnamon and it gave it a little twist to it but not too much. Chef Mark showed us that when you place your spatula in hot water and then wipe it, it helps smooth out the icing A LOT!! Since I had a bright color. all the cracks were noticeable. After I used a hot spatula it looked almost perfect.
