DONE!!!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything but I thought tonight would be appropriate to post something... I GRADUATED today. I'm so happy to be done and to be able to move on and maybe get some rest. I will have to post pictures next week when I get the pictures from my moms camera.

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Well I am finally done with my internship and have started my last quarter of school. I have two classes that will be challenging. The first on is running the restaurant in the school. As students we are in charge of cooking and serving the meals. We pretty much run it with the help of one of the chefs. My other class is a Capstone class. We make a business plan and present it in the end. It is going to be a lot of work and I really don't know how I am going to have time between work and the gym. I guess I won't have a life for another 11 weeks. Here are some pictures of things I did my last week.

And I also made this one...

This is a white chocolate curl cake. Every curl is made by had out of a mixture of white chocolate and a small amount of gum paste. I was pretty proud of this one. I had help from on of the other girls at Carries but the other day I made curls from milk chocolate for another cake and it took 5 hours straight by myself... very time consuming.

I made this...

So this is the cake I made on Saturday. I did everything except put the fondant on the cake. I even painted the little branches. Carrie and Brooke(Carries Daughter in law) loved it!! Carrie told me to just follow a picture and do what I wanted to do. And this is what turned out. I loved it and it became a favorite for everyone.

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.
