Conclusion
02.21 / We made chocolate frosting. They gave us cinnamon rolls, we had to turn them and spread with the frosting and sprinkle with colourful sugar sprinkles.
We helped to roll the baguettes. We did special danish tea cake called almond-horns. / There was not really stress. / It is worthy to have 40 minutes REAL break to have breakfast. After we could concentrate more on the jobs.
02.23 / We were getting better with rolling the baguettes. We made danish „Napoleon hats”. As you can see on the picture we put marcipan balls on short pastry and formed it with our hands. We made lemon cake and cakes which were look like walnut-roses. / They are trying to teach every day something new danish speciality. / Even if they have a lot to do, they are caring about us. We could see that they were always prepared with a new receipe for us.
02.24 / We made coconut tops. It was interesting that because of the lemon-concentrate the colour and also the taste was really intensive. We made little pizzas, dipped the „Napoleon-hats” into chocolate. They have a special carneval-pastry filled with vanilla puding or chocolate. / They gave us some cookies in our break, it was interesting that there were sunflower seeds in it (even if the cookie was sweet with chocolate inside). / They formed the coconut tops from the pastry bag but it was really hard for us. At home we would do it by hand bacuse the dough was so hard. It is interesting that they don’t really use just their hands but always use some tools.

Conclusion
02.27 / We started today early at 01.30. At first we helped to make a lot of kind of breads and buns. Then we made cinnamonn-roll, walnut rolls and decorated some kind of carneval-pastries with icing. We made chocolate and sunflower-seeds cookies and dipped the coconut tops into chocolate. / You can do a lot of kind of breads, buns, baguettes etc. from the same dough. / We are not early birds. It was hard for us to concentrate ont he tasks because we are not used to work at night.
02.28 / We started again at 4 am. We made the baguettes and the icing for the cakes. They have asked us to make a special cake, so we started to make Charlotte-cake. We made 5 big sponge-roll. From 9-12 we helped in the school’s kitchen for the chefs. / They are always there to help us (when we made our sponge-rolls they were checking on us if they can help). / You have to wear gloves when you are peeling a lot of onions.
You have to make sure that the baking tin for the sponge is flat enough. So it will be a sooth sponge.
03.01 / We finished the Charlotte-cake for 70 people than they told us there was a misunderstanding and they need it just for 10 people. We were a bit disappointed also because the women didn’t try it. But they liked how it looked like. / They were more afraid of the cake than interested because they don’t really make cakes with a lot of cream in it. / After we took out the cake from the bowls it slowly started to drop. So we realised we should have checked before if they have a shocking freezer.
03.02 / We started at 01.30 am. We helped a bit the shape the breads. In the rest of the day we made Rákóczi túrós because they asked us to make something hungarian. / Again the cake started to drop after we cut it into pieces. Than we realised the problem was on both days that the cottage cream is different here it has too much liquid in it. / If you are in an other country you should check at first the ingredients if they are different bacuse it can cause a lot of trouble.
03.03 / First we shaped the bread doughs. Than we made chocolate and walnut cookies, almond-sponge, pear-pie. And we covered the sides of a walnut-cake slices with chocolate. / They trust in us and letus to do things just by ourself. (D.)I learnt how to use the dough rolling machine. (A.) / We can learn more here because they let us to try new things which we couln’t try before. We can improve ourself here.

03.09 / I covered the corners of a green cake with chocolate. Than I made florentine. It was interesting that here they fill this with butter cream. Than I made „stykker kage”.

Conclusion
03.20 / They asked us to do hungarian cakes in this week. On Monday we started to make Dobos cake. We made the sponge and the chocolate filling and put the cake together. / They don’t have cake-rings so we made tins of sponges but that is why we miscounted the amount of them. / The boss said the cream had too much butter in the filling and he prefers the double cream fillings.
03.21 / We finished the Dobos cake (cream and walnut on the sides). We made the Dobos-toppings. We started to make Rákóczi-túrós so we made the short-pastry for that. / It was our first time making a whole Dobos-cake and the next day we realised we shouldn’t put the toppings into the fridge. / We needed more time for the toppings than we expected.
03.22 / We made the walnut-sponges and the filling for the Eszterházy-cake. For the half of them we made white-chocolate cream (because the boss wanted to try that). / They do not really use walnuts so they were a bit shocked when we asked fro the right amounts. / The cream was not the same as the original because their ingredients are a bit different.
03.23 / We put together the other half of the cakes with white chocolate cream. We spread the sides with the cream and covered with chocolate sprinkles and spread the tops with apricot jam. Than we made the Eszterházy-tops. / We had to use icing for the tops because they doon’t have fondan. / Because of the icing it wasn’t that nice to make the tops with the chocolate.
03.24 / We finished at first the Rákóczi-túrós. Than we had to sell our hungarian cakes for the customers. / We used more bread crumbs between the pastry and the filling so we got nice pieces at the end (not as like in our first week). / They were always surprised but they liked how special and nice is the decoration on our cakes.
