Carnival Time

After class on Friday we packed everything up, loaded the car and set off to New Orleans! Arriving at 8 in the morning I napped though no one else did. I definitely needed it having stayed awake all night to help keep DmentD awake as he was driving. We met up with some people for […]

On Monday I had my work test at one of the bakeries I had interview at. It went alright, I cut and filled and masked two chocolate cakes with a rich fudgy icing, and then I made a dozen key lime pies. I was done in a hour and a half and I set off […]

Sweets
