Level 1 Classic Pastry Arts
My Level 1 Pastry Arts class just finished our first bread and
vienoisserie unit, and I must say, it went out with a bang. We made one of the
greatest desserts I have ever seen - a beehive. This delicious dessert is
comprised of buttery brioche soaked in a honey and lavender syrup (made with
white wine, vanilla, and lemons), with pastry cream layered in between. The
brioche is then covered in a Swiss meringue that is torched to give it a
gorgeous golden color, and then topped with honey. If
this doesn’t sound perfect enough, we made little bees out of marzipan and even
added toasted almond slices as wings.

One of the things making this recipe taught me is to always
try what you make, even if it includes an ingredient you think you don’t like.
You might be pleasantly surprised. All in all, this dessert is amazing! Perhaps
more than anything, the presentation is adorable.
