Favorite Dessert Class - Sur La Table

For my birthday, I got a discount coupon from SLT and a gift card for my birthday, so it was cool to go take a dessert class for a deep discount.
So, here we have a molton lava chocolate cake, which is a very nice way of saying unfinished-baking cake.  It does come out beautiful and taste super yummy.  Some might say rich but it was awesome.
Next, we have Apple Pie:
We were talked into doing it rustic style and I think ideally, in all of our heads, it would've been lovely like the ones you get at Grand Lux.  But as you can see, they didn't quite came out like that, as a matter of fact, it looks pretty sad.  Luckily, that doesn't effect the taste.
The creme' brulee was a tad of disappointment, I actually really wanted to learn how to do this, because it's not easy to make them right.  And there was a teacher in training that took over, and while that is their job to train, they are also trained chefs before walking in those doors.  So we did have great tips of how to make this.  The disappointment was that the time management of the class, and it wasn't baked firmly enough for us to put the sugar on top to make the class.  So, wish they coordinated it better.
Another dish I was looking forward to was a dessert souffle'.  I love the idea of using meringue on something else.  They raised up nice and pretty, see!  When you dig in, it does taste good.  This one is lemon, and it does have the zest and the zing.
