The zombie cake got finished, pictures to follow, but suffice to say he looked awesome. I got DmentD to print off some of the photos so I could take them into school and show him off, impressing some of the instructors, including ones I don’t even know! *grins*

This week at school has been a week of croissants and danish pastries. Mid week we all made croissants with different fats in them so we could see how they compare, obviously the all butter one was the best, and the all shortening left a horrible feeling in your mouth, the one with half and half wasn’t too bad. There was even one with cream cheese, which was interesting, and tasty, though not a croissant at all in texture and taste.

Today all the classes are having a pumpkin competition, each class submitting one entry. We started ours last night, my first experience of pumpkin carving, we’re doing a totem pole of severed heads *grins*

Then when I got home last night DmentD and I set to carving our pumpkins so they could be out on display today. This took a lot more skill and effort than the freeforming it in class. I chose to do the Cheshire Cat and he did the freaky old guy! It was fun, and kinda messy, I did an okay job, he’s a bit fuzzy round the edges, but he looks good lit up.
