Always grateful for another week. I hope you had a nice weekend and Monday. It was a bit chilly this morning but then those rays came out to make it mighty beautiful. Very thankful =)
We had a pretty good day in class today. Not super stressed but we worked the entire day on the creation of the Devil's food cakes. We each made two of them along with a big batch of Swiss Buttercream. We were going to use that to decorate, fill and take home our Chiffon cakes, but time did not allow. I give that a BIG thumbs down. Boo!! Actually, double boo since now I will have to carry around 4 cake containers tomorrow! Ay yayay. 4 cakes isn't a bad thing, it just means my peeps will be taking these to work. Cake tasting for everyone! Yippeee! I remember the days of sitting at a desk for 8 hours with a computer screen in my face. All day EVERY day. Cake always made for a brighter afternoon. :) All I had to do was walk over to Epicure. Loved it!
So no cute pictures to portray today, sorry. Tomorrow I will hopefully photograph a few cakes for you. It's spirit week too! We are allowed to wear a crazy hat tomorrow if we choose. I choose! :) I have a few so hopefully I will remember to grab it on my way out. I don't enjoy the hats we wear now, I cant imagine enjoying a crazy one either. ;) but it will be nice to see a splash of color for a change. Sheesh, cant they give a girl just a LITTLE bit of cute fashion in this outfit? Just a little, that's all I ask....( dreaming, wishing and crossing all my fingers and toes).
At the end of class, we received our instructions for the pastry buffet we will be putting out the end of next week. Its hard to believe we are 4 weeks into the program. We have learned a lot and all of those skills will be showcased next week. We are to work in groups of 5 which were randomly selected by the Chef. It will be quite a challenge to create a dozen or more of 12 different pastries, plate them and pray that they come out delicious. Yes, things can and will go wrong but I am confident we will have an excellent table displayed. The Chef did mention that guests could come in for it. I will double check for ya to make sure and get back to you with a date and time!
Ok darlings, off I go to study for yet another quiz. They are never ending. I hope to see you back here tomorrow! Have a nice relaxing night!
See you very soon,
Me :)
SOLUTIONS! SOLUTIONS! SOLUTIONS!
