Laminated doughs

The last segment of our baking and pastry class was based on laminated doughs. In the past the bakery class took up more time in the week, meeting 3 times per week. Our class only met in the kitchen twice per week. Our teacher decided we would not have enough time to make certain doughs, such as danish dough, and just bought frozen sheets. Although we didn't get to make the dough, she wanted us to learn how to work with it and how it can be used.

This is just a small assortment of danishes. We had some fruit fillings, such as apricot and raspberry, and we also made cream cheese icings. We were given packets on different ways to fold, cut, and fill danishes. When they finished baking we also made a simple white icing to pour over the top. I don't like danishes much myself, I think they taste bland and cheap. But it was fun to experiment with folding and fillings. I can apply that to other foods as well.
