I want to be a pâtissier with the sweet smell and take the risk of becoming a fat girl

Strawberries parfait with Fig balsamic syrup

我叫金三顺(Sam Soon)is my favorite Korean show,  she is not skinny , not pretty, but she is so adorable and lovely with all kinds of nice characters, if I was a guy, I would love her. She is a talented pâtissier, so she always smells sweet and she is sweet. She said the she likes to make cake in the early morning when she is unhappy, which is the sweetest way to heal in the world. I love this, and I believe she is right, so I want to be a pâtissier like her !(*Reason No 1*)
(BTW: she also said " my job is to make chocolate and cake , how could I not be fat?!" > <)

And my name is gaogao(糕糕), it's cakecake, so I have to be able to make cake, I am supposed to.  (*Reason No2*)
It is said  " when you look at a cupcake, you are supposed to smile', so being  a pâtissier  means people always smile at her, how lovely!  So it's so tempting to be a pâtissier.(*Reason No 3)

I know it will take a while to be able to make the best cake, but I can still smell the sweet during the whole process even if my cake doesn't come out well. I hope one day all the world will smile at me because I can make best cake  : D

Strawberries parfait with Fig balsamic syrup
Making whipping Cream:
Mascarpone Cheese (8oz)
Whipping Cream
Lemon Juice(2 tsp)
Sugar 4TBS
vanilla extract(1tsp)

Making fig balsamic syrup:
black mission figs
a bottle of 750ml balsamic vinegar
honey(optional)


Boiling a bottle of 750ml balsamic vinegar, after about 15 mins add 4-5 dried black mission figs, keep reduce the liquid, use a spoon to test when the syrup can be coasted on a spoon, it's done. If the syrup is too thick, you will get trouble with pouring it out. and it will keep reducing when you move it away from the heat. When it gets cool(not too hot), put it into a blender, let it grinded
Use honey to adjust the sweetness.
** Balsamic syrup is the first professional thing I made , and it intrigued me about the cooking !

How to serve:
Mix strawberries with balsamic syrup about 30mins, then one layer of cream, one layer of strawberries, alternatively, there will be some juice in the mix of strawberries and balsamic syrup, drizzle it onto your parfait, at the end add some fig balsamic syrup on top, decorated with mint or basil leaves
