Culinary School

as some of you may or may not know, i am currently attending culinary school for a degree in baking and patisserie. I decided a while back that i wanted to hone what skill i have acquired and learn the ins and outs too all that is baking and pastry making. I'm currently in my second class at school, but my first class in the kitchen. every week i will be posting photos of my weeks worth of baked deliciousness. If you guys wants some, let me know i'll get them to you.

These are in chronological order:

Chocolate chip macademia nut - 24 cookies

Peanut Butter - 24 cookies

Spritz - 22 cookies, these are whats left

OK! so all of these were made from scratch and with love! jk. not so much love as much as pressure, stress, and sweat.

I hope you enjoyed this! next week, week 2 posts! =]

Another Mother's Day cake. 3 different sized gifts =]

My friend's birthday cake =) he's in lighting and this is a C47 - better known as a clothes pin. Only the film ppl knew what it was.

East Lion Mother's Day

This is a shoe cake i made as a mother's day gift to East Lion - a shoe company. Their subbrands are shoes like Qupid and Splash. I was asked to make this cake monday, for friday morning and it was BY FAR the most difficult cake i've made. Sorry about the poor picture quality but Jason's camera died so i had to take it on my blackberry.



He's a fat lion from all the cake!
