I forgot...

I am moving out on my own. I have decided that I am tired of the roomate situations I am always put in and decided I want a place of my own. Between work, school and the gym I am never home. I am excited to move on with my life.

Updates...

Wow I have really slacked in the past six weeks. Here are some things I have been up to. I have been in my internship for 5 weeks now (halfway done). We have been pretty busy the past few weekends with wedding season. The past two weeks each week we have been putting out 16 cakes. It's crazy busy but I'm learning so much and have already learned more than I have in school.

I stacked this cake and put the dowels in it which isn't that easy to make sure the space is the same height and make sure it's level.

This is just the bottom of a five tier cake. All the dark pink is done in royal icing but was stenciled on. Yes stenciled on sounds easy... It's not!!!! Five tiers, 2 hours, and 3-4 people helping later it was finished.

The summer is here...

And the last 11 weeks have been busy. I have finished my third to last quarter and only have two more left. I have been busy with school, work and with extra little things. I made a photo bouquet for my roommate that just got married. These pictures were taken at the Great Salt Lake I think they turned out awesome.

These are some things I have been doing at work. We are keeping busy with weddings and we are short an employee so I have been picking up full shifts now that I am on break for two more weeks.

This is my Chocolate and Confections final. There is quite a story to this final. We had mad the refrigerator and the stove out of chocolate the week before it was due which was a Friday. On Monday at 6:45 AM I got a voice message from my chef telling me that they had turned off the fans in the kitchens and the chocolate melted. On Wednesday we were able to work on it while everyone else cleaned. Luckily we were able to finish it on time and it turned out really good.

This is my final for Restaurant desserts. This is a key lime raspberry frozen souffle with a raspberry and key lime sauce.

I start my internship with Carrie's Cakes in two weeks and I am really excited. Work isn't too happy because they are short handed but I think we will be able to work it out.

Wedding cake...

This is the wedding cake that Jenae from school and I did for one of our teachers daughters.

The Last Month of my Life..

has been soooo busy. I started one of the last quarters of school that I have. I did find out that I will be graduating in December instead of September due to one class. I am in a chocolate and confections class where we make a lot of candies and chocolates. I am also in a Restaurant Desserts class so we do a lot of fancy plated desserts. This lst weeek I did my cousin Jessica's wedding flowers and also a wedding cake for one of our teacher's daughters but I don't have those pictures yet for that one. Here is some of what I have been doing.

What I do to keep myself awake during Conference...

So I decided that I needed a project to stay awake during General Conference so I decided to paint my dresser I that I bought in July and never painted. Here is the finished product. I also decided to rearrange my room it gave me more room. So if anyone needs any furniture painted I would love to do it for a cheap price and it would have to be after September!!

Where is Spring?

All I can think of is how we woke up on my birthday back in 98 or 99 to 5 feet snow drifts. I really hope spring will come soon. The other day I didn't realize my alarm clock was on PM and I woke up 15 minutes before I was supposed to be at work. I walk out of my room to see snow out the window. The roads were slick and it was coming down pretty hard. I was 30 minutes late to work. I'm tired of the snow and ready for everything to bloom. Spring please come soon before I go crazy!!!
