Double Rosetta at last

In March, nearly five months ago, I posted an entry here with a five hearted cappuccino, well 1+4 heart chain. I was absolutely in love…not. Perhaps figuratively at least.

Now it is July, there is a week remaining in the holidays and I have worked at Michel’s roughly half the time. About 10 shifts in three weeks. Working that much really screws with you mind, and yesterday, after being woken by extremely heavy rain at 4:30am after only falling asleep at 1am, and needing to wake at 7:30am, I thought it would be a fantastic chance to see how mental I could go at work.

So let’s try and pour a double rosetta. Which i proclaimed in this blog entry, would possibly be too hard!

But here I managed to pull it off with a headache. Amazed at how much my skill had grown just by working consecutive days and several times in a few weeks, I showed all present at work and began a mission to pour it as many times throughout yesterday to consolidate this.

So yeah, probably poured another fifteen or so? Relatively consistent at it, unless someone is watching and they have asked me to do it, then I might screw up.

Now having poured this, the door to pouring all manner of other designs is well in my ballpark. I tried a triple rosetta as well yesterday, which looked slightly too frothy, but still came out. I’m thinking of heart and rosetta combinations now, like proper full-blown hearts flanked with rosettas etc. Will be an interesting and fun challenge, bearing in mind its utter uselessness. I am sort-of heading into latte-art competition territory here!!

But it costs too much to enter, and if you win you need to dedicate half your life to promoting the competition you won basically haha.
