Three weeks left and guess who's a Pastry Chef?..

Yep! You guessed right! I didn't even think I'd make it into school and now

it is almost OVER! I am so blessed to have made it this far. I had so many

struggles along the way, but it is so close, I can taste it!! Even down to my

externship, I struggled with finding the right place. I had some people telling

me that I was wayyy too talented to work in a grocery store bakery decorating

cakes, and others that thought if they could go back, a grocery store bakery is

where they would extern. So, that is what I did. I turned down the pastry

position at a fancy country club and took a job as a cake decorator at a grocery

store. I LOVE MY JOB! I am so thankful that I took this job! I too turned

my nose up at grocery store bakeries, but I am learning SOOO much!

I still have a very long way to go, but oh my goodness have I improved since

the days in Chef Jeffs class where it took everything within me not to burst

into tears because I couldn't ice a cake and not even come close to writting

on one. Look at some of the sad writting on the cakes from past posts and

compare them to the new and improved and still needs practice cakes of

today.. Anywho, will be back later. There are soo many pictures that

I have to share.
