Used canned marron creme....tasted like kaya though. However the base fits well with the marron creme.

Fieullette... egg tart and sweet potato pie


Pate Fieullette not sweet. Therefore when combined with the sweet potato that is not made too sweet, pie became very tasteless..
>>>> Mix the sweet potato paste with cream nx time and make a sweet potato tart instead.Pate fieullette base is also fine.





















Egg tart also not sweet enough. the skin is a bit too tasteless.

POINT
-Use pate fieullette for more watery filling eg. cooked fruits, or meat filling

Petite Opera



Mistakes
-forgot to apply coffe syrup for base layer
-Coffee syrup not thick enough
-butter for butter creme not at room temperature
-sugar solution too hard for italian meringue
-jaconde biscuit not brown enough....not baked enough
-ganache a bit to runny....(boil the heavy cream more)
>>> combine egg and sugar. beat on low to blend.
then beat on medium until thick and pale yellow
when syrup reaches 116C, pour into egg mixture
beat for a few min until mixture is smooth
Add softened butter which had been beaten to creamy form
-the fillings in each layers are not thick enough
