Bread Adventure - Starbread

Practice makes it perfect is what we have been taught.  So, to make sure I will be prepared for the coming bread project, I made this Starbread.  It's suppose to use the straight white bread dough, but I was bit tight with the resources, so I used part of my baguette doughs for it.

Special Occasion Cake with Marzipan Pears

A few weeks ago, I made this marzipan pears at home for our ARC Clulinary class' cake project. It turned out quite beautifully. I love the Almond Paste that Gabi posted at her site - http://www.thefeastwithin.com/2009/11/04/almond-paste-easy-and-homemade/. It works much better and tastier than the ones I have tried.
Here is my photo journal of my Marzipan pears and how it looks like on a special occasion cake.
