One more day and we will be done with our 6 week Basic Techniques course. I can't wait to get to the next class and take it up a level. We did learn a lot in this class. Every day we learned to create something new, something some of us didn't even know existed! I learned that something as basic as a cookie ISN'T easy to make if you don't do it in the right order and using thte correct method. Baking really is a science, a lot goes on behind the scenes. ;) Each ingredient has its intended use. If you dont mix them correctly or in the right order, your results could be disastrous.
Today was a good day though. I nailed my little IceBox cookies. Those are really detail oriented cookies and I can not imagine anyone making these at a bakery every day. But if you want to practice something that requires many a step, make these little guys! Just have patience :-). Mine expanded in the oven and I wasnt too crazy about that, but overall, they came out nice. Thank goodness my buddy Rhett mentioned it to me before going into the oven so that I could separate the cookies even more. All in all, everyone did an awesome job and tomorrow we have just a few finishing touches and decorations to do but we are ready to present our Sweet Table! Very exciting.
We had our final in techniques today and I honestly have no clue how I did on it. I didnt know a bunch of the answers so I will just wait and see. I did pass my State Exam for our Safety and Sanitation class. I was mega nervous, it wasnt the easiest exam either. It just goes to show, you think you know something and then you take a test! laughing... but isnt that just life? I am happy I passed and I am now ready to turn in our Techniques Notebook! Our last piece of the puzzle.
I will catch you back here tomorrow everyone! I hope you had a beautiful day.
Ta Ta for now..
Yeah! Celebration day is here!! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and what a wonderful time you'll be having!! I'm thrilled that you passed your State Exam and I know you have aced your final! Have a blast tomorrow and say hi to your sweetie for me!! xoxo :)
ReplyDeleteI can vouch that cookies are super hard.... something so easy... ok, they are not like a souffle but difficult in a different way! I am so proud of you!! I wish I knew what I was doing, wish I knew the science behind certain things so I could correct my mistakes... can't wait to see what's on the next level!!! xooxoxx
