Yep that's right I'm Moving AGAIN!!!

Here's some more pictures from school. Also as you notice from the pictures I am finally moving. Yes that is right. My mom is happy I am getting out of Mini Tiawana as she calls it. I have been here for about a month by myself and it is nice to think I will have roomates again. So bring on the moving once again!!!

Life as Allyson Gillette!!!!

So I have a way of bringing drama into my life. Monday I got to work from school and ran up to get changed. I had put my cell phone in the pocket of my sweatshirt. I bent over to grab something and somehow my phone fell out of my pocket and yes into the toilet. So as I was once again being laughed at (geez I was just barely living down my nacho spill with my ankle and now this) I have lost all phone numbers. Thankfully my dad overnighted the package and I was once again able to communicate. I know life as Allyson Gillette couldn't get any funnier.
People have been asking lately what I have been doing in school so I thought I would show you some things. This first pic is a swan made out of eclair paste and whipping cream. The second is a crocomboosh which is the french traditional wedding cake. I have blisters from the carmel on it. Righ now I am in a class for display cakes. Yes that means wedding cakes!!! For our final we will have to make a three teir wedding cake. It is exciting but scary at the same time. I have about a year left or three quarters (sounds better like that because it doesn't seem so long).



These are pictures of my final in American Regional last quarter. We made a Cream of Garlic Soup, Pear and Hazelnut salad, Ginger tamerin chicken, potato croquet, sauted veggies, pinapple fritters (which were amazing) with a mago sauce and coconut icecream.






Our appitizers that our chef was a little worried when we told her our plating idea but she ended up really liking it.

Alpine Loop

So Friday I had a mission reunion and my old companion Janae Niebaur came and stayed with me. On Saturday we went to the Alpine Loop to see what it was all about. This is what I found. It was raining but it was so worth it. I have photoshoped some of these pictures but they are all natural other than a little brightening and sharpening. Enjoy the fall colors!!!!!

More from work

Since my ankle has been out of comission and I haven't been able to stand on it at work all day, the managers decided that I would do items in the weddings that I could do without standing. I was able to do two bridal bouquets so here they are. I also sat for one day for 5 hours and wired and tapped flowers for flower girls head wreaths. My fingers were then out of comission!!!!
