Intermediate Pastry Exam Recipe List

The following are recipes we have to memorise for our practical exam. The chefs will choose 3 or 4 from the list for exam day (and different groups will get different recipes). For each group, there will be a few students making one particular cake, and another few making another cake, and the remainder yet another cake. Depends on the luck of the draw. I think this is to ensure the exam judges are not faced with 12 identical cakes during the judging session. They will see and taste 4 of one type of cake, 4 of another, and 4 of a third kind... which is OK, I guess.
