Gingerbread Cake & Gateau Pithivier















This evening I participated in an excellent cooking class entitled "International Desserts" at a culinary institute in New England. It was a blast - and I came away with some new tricks up my sleeves. We prepared the Gingerbread Cake pictured here as well as a Gateau Pithivier (a lovely torte - also pictured here), Panna Cotta, and several other treats. The recipes were all traditional, but I plan to modify them each - and turn them Vegan, so stay tuned for International Vegan Desserts right here on the blog!
