Classical Cakes & Tarts - Day 7

It's day 7 of CC&T and we finally got around to putting together and finishing our Opera Cakes. We were beginning to run out of days to push it back haha. Glad it's finally done. Good thing since we'll have to make another one on Thursday as part of our practical along with a Black Forest Entremet. We also began prepping components for a couple of entremets that will be put together tomorrow. These should be really good. One is a Garnet Caramel Entremet and the other will be an Opel Passion Entremet. Tomorrow we will also be finishing the Black Forest Entremet that we did this past Thursday. Along with the Opera today, we also finished our Frasier cakes. The Frasier is made up of alternating layers of light almond sponge and diplomat cream with sliced strawberries lining the outside and a nice layer of chocolate glaze on top. The Opera cake is made up of alternating layers of pistachio biscuit, chocolate ganache and coffee buttercream and then glazed with chocolate.
