Man I need more time in a day!!

So this week I have spent most of my time being sick. Just a cold but still it has wiped me out. I even missed school one day and I have only missed one other day for Ainslie's Graduation. I have gotten some orders for candy and they are coming. I just haven't had the energy or the chance of getting anyone sick so for that fact I haven't made them yet. But they will be on their way shortly. I only have two more weeks of school left for the year!!! Yea!!!! In my display cake class I have to make a three teir wedding cake so here are some of my ideas. In the first cake I am going to do the way the cake is set on top of each other kinda off set and the second pic is what I am actually going to do for the piping. Wish me good luck. We also have to do buffet desserts so I am doing chocolate cup creme brulee and small key lime pies.

Simply Sweeter Candies

Here is my newest adventure. At the floral shop they buy toffee from this lady. The other day Robert was complaining about the way she packaged them so I brought up the option of me making toffee and candies for them and selling them to them. Well today I pitched these ideas to Robert and he loved it. So now we just have to get Pam on board. This is Almond Toffee and some is dipped in chocolate. I am going to start a small business right now and see where it goes. I have to get a business licence so I have to have a name. I've come up with Simply Sweeter Candies. If anyone is interested in Christmas candy let me know.

Finally Pictures!!!

Here are some pictures of my new place and my cake that I made. This first picture is my friend and her cake. Also my Halloween costume turned out so cute I was Mrs. Potato Head.

Still Moving!!!

So I am still in the moving process. My lease ends this saturday on my apartment. I still have to clean the kitchen but it will get done hopefully tommorrow before work. I love my new place. I have a pretty big room and my own bathroom so it makes things nice. I am living with two other girls and things are going good. Anyways I made a golfing groomscake today for my midterm I will have to get pictures on when my internet is working at home. My Halloween costume was pretty cute this year. Ains gave me the idea of Mrs. Potato Head.

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.
