Slow News Day

Sweets

I know, I haven’t written in a while. I was putting it off last week, working on the wedding cake every day I had nothing new to say until it was finished. Then with yard work and being busy, and now I’m working on a scholarship application. Suddenly it’s been nearly two weeks! My doesn’t […]

Wedding Cakes

But before that, the rest of last week *grins* Not that I actually did a whole lot, I was mostly lazy. I made it to four miles cycling which made me happy. And on Friday I made a whole new cookie. I had found a recipe for ‘Cowboy Cookies’ cookies with pecans, oats and chocolate […]

Spring Break! Wooo!

I have a week off, and it is wonderful! *grins* First I better fill you in on last week, the week started with ‘Mass Production.’ Basically some of the employers that are in contact with the school commented that students finished the course having only ever made single items, having never baked in bulk which […]

Finals

Now they’re over, for me now at any rate, I can talk about them *grins* I didn’t want to jinx myself by telling the world that they were going well! Our menu’s had to be in last week, so we could say what we wanted ordered and most people had spent the previous week going […]

Time Is Flying By

Sweets

We had a very busy week this week and it flew by! The holiday plate up went mostly well. I had a few problems with the doughnuts. They’re made and then frozen (given no time to proof) so that they fry consistently, and in a restaurant situation you don’t have to keep an eye on […]

February Already

Sweets

We finished last week with fruit. First we had the fruit report, in partners we drew a fruit out of a hat (we got Kumquats) and then got an hour in the library to research that fruit so we could come back and give a report on it. I knew nothing about kumquats so it […]
