In the blink of an eye …
I am shocked that the year is nearly at an end!! It doesn't seem like it could be Thanksgiving yet, but it is. And so I sit here, after months of inactivity, and write about what I am thankful for this year. I am thankful that I am going to school. I love what I am learning, even if I never do anything more with it than be an excellent home baker. I am thankful for my husband. He is my other half. ...
Flower Basket
This is what I did last night. I made it for one of my co-workers and it was pretty good. I have had such fun making different flowers, but I like the roses the best. School has been good. I learned that I do not enjoy making fancy desserts, but I need to learn how to make them to be a well-rounded baker. Yay. I did learn how to make a pretty kick ass soufflé that I was able to make at home. They are far easier than I thought...
Fall 2007
Well, Fall 2007 has begun! This semester I am taking two classes. Hospitality Supervision and Advanced Pastry. I feel kind of cool at school this semester because I can tell who the new students are and I feel a sort of smug sense of "I know what you don't know, neener-neener." Wrong, I know, but honest. Last night was the first night of Advanced Pastry and I learned how to properly temper...
Cake Decorating and the Dentist

We have also started roses, but I am feeling pretty ok about those. Yesterday I had a teeth cleaning at my...
Nearly a year ago …
Wow … time really goes by fast!!! It is about one year ago this month that I made the decision to go to culinary school, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. There is so much I still have to do but I am still so excited, one year later, about where I am going and what I am learning. Has it been easy? No, but it has not been as hard as I thought either. The best part is learning, growing, and getting closer...
Over a month later …
To be honest with you, if you are even out there, I am not sure how many people really read this little blog of mine, so I have been bad about not posting. On the other side of that coin, how an I going to find more readers of my mundane little blog if I do not post more. *sigh* You will all be happy to know, if you are keeping score, that I passed Breads & Rolls with an A. *Hooray* I am now into my...
