Fruit Pizza

To start the fruit pizza off, we had to make a sugar cookie crust. First we creamed together butter and sugar until it was smooth. Creaming the butter and sugar together took awhile. After the butter and sugar was creamed together and all nice and smooth. Next, I added in the egg to the mix. I mixed the egg into the butter and the sugar until it was mixed together nicely. After that we started to add the flour, cream of tater, baking soda and salt. Now I mixed it all together until I couldn't see anymore of the whiteness of the flour in the bowl. I couldn't mix the mixture for too long because the flour would get tougher the longer it was mixing together. Now it was time to put the sugar cookie crust into the oven to bake. The cookie crust took about 15 minutes to get to be golden brown. After it came out of the oven we wrapped the sugar cookie and the pan with plastic wrap to work on the next day.

The next thing to do is to make the cream cheese frosting. This frosting is a mixture of cream cheese, powder sugar, and vanilla extract. I put the cream cheese into the mixer and mixed it until it was creamier than it was to start off. After it was nice and creamy I added in the sugar and mixed it for about 5-8 minutes. There was still some clumps of cream cheese and sugar. After that was mixed we added the vanilla and mixed that for about 2 minutes. When it was done I started to spread it onto the sugar cookie crust and it was kind of hard to spread and there were clumps of cream cheese and sugar still.

After getting the frosting done and the cookie baked the next thing to do is to cut up the fruit. I cut up pineapple, apples, oranges, and kiwis. The pineapple I bought was very big. It took awhile to cut up the pineapple. I used the gliding forward technique that was thought in class. The next thing i had to cut up was the apple. The apple was the easiest thing for me to cut. The next thing I cut was the kiwi. I had to feel off the fuzzy stuff on the outside of the kiwi and then started to cut the kiwi into half moon pieces. The oranges were not very simple. They were probably the hardest thing to cut.

Next thing to do was to put the fruit on the pizza. For me I organized it into different areas. I put the apples in one spot, kiwis and oranges into another spot, and for the pineapple I put it into its own area as I did for the rest of the fruit.

My fruit pizza looked very appealing. The colors made the fruit pizza stand out compared to other peoples. The flavor of the fruit pizza was delicious. The frosting was okay. I don't think the frosting got mixed all the way from when I tried it because it tasted too much like cream cheese. Otherwise I thought that the Fruit pizza was very delicious.
