IPP- Week 3 May 24th These ginger cakes art topped with vanilla butter cream, a piece of white decortaive chocolate and a candied hazelnut. I’m sorry about the European measurements. These recipes are copied straight from my notes in my individual production pastry class. I’m putting them here on just a pinch for my own posterity. If you would like to convert the measurements, I recommended using this conversions calculator: http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/blconv.htm
