"You Are Cordially Invited"

Final exams are over. We had to bake and prepare quite a bunch of things - About 10 different categories (including eatable table decorations) and three different variations within some of the categories. A day and a half at our disposal. Here are the results of my efforts:

The "theme" of my table was a fancy tea party.

The menu:
Bread - "50-50" Rolls
Yeast dough (folded) - Swedish Wienerbröd, Cinnamon-Coffee Danish Cluster, Cinnamon Danish
Puff pastry - Jam&Nut filled Combs, Voul-a-Vent with Compote, Fruit of the Season-length
Center Piece - Orange-Chocolate Cake
Choux dough - Paris Brest, Éclairs, Swedish Maria Balls
Petit Fours - Filled Chocolate Cups, Mini Tartlets, Ganash-Marmalade Sweets (Pineapple & Red Wine)
"Cut" cake - Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Desert - Wine Poched Pear Baked in Marzipan Shell
Signs - White Chocolate writing on Dark Chocolate signs
Decorations - Cookie lollipops

Now - Reality!
