Before we started, Mr. Ical divided us into few sections : cold kitchen, main kitchen, pastry and bakery, and butcher. These sections have their own responsibilities for each menu. Cold kitchen handle appetizer and sauce, main kitchen handle the main course, pastry and baker handle dessert and any bakery products, and butcher handle raw meat, fish, and poultry. And I’m in pastry and bakery section.

In my section there are 7 of us, so we divided up the dish, since there were 3 desserts, pizza dough and toast bread for cold kitchen that was made by pastry and bakery section. Me and 2 of my friends handle the sachertorte, 2 handle the bubuh injin and rice pudding, 1 handle the toast bread, and 1 handle the pizza dough. After divided our dish, we started doing right away. For the sachertorte, first, we prepared the ingredients. According to the recipe we needed butter, icing sugar, and egg yolk mixed together. 

After that, mixed white egg with icing sugar until turned into whip cream. Then, for the dry ingredients there were cocoa powder, flour, and chopped almond. 

Next, we mixed in the dry ingredients into the whipped cream and also pour in the mixed butter. 

Last, pour into the mould and bake in 160^O C for 45 minutes.

We only made one recipe at first just in case if the dough failed. Seeing the result wasn’t good so we made another 2 recipes but thankfully the others turned out pretty great

After finished baking, we made the jam for its filling. The jam was made from peach. We crushed it using blender, then boil in saucepan and mixed in sugar until the jam thicken. Finished with the jam, we kept the sachertorte and jam. After that, we started general cleaning right away. When general cleaning, there were only 4 of us in pastry, so it was really tiring plus we didn’t have a break today so to be honest I was kinda exhausted. We finished general cleaning at 7 P.M. after that we oneline and Mr. Jaya asked us about our preparation, after that we pray and we may go home.
