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.
