It's going to be an interesting 6 months here, and I can't wait to learn from some of best pastry chefs in this country! I am tired after waking up 6 something this morning and there's a 7 a.m class for the rest of the week! Arrgh.... I will leave you with a picture of my silly self and part of the tool kit that I brought home today.
With school starting, there will be some changes in this blog. This space will be a chronicle of my life as a pastry student and may or may not update as often as I'd love. No recipe from school will be provided.(school policy- I think it makes sense) But I will try to take some pictures of what I make. There's no guarantee on that as well, as I am a really shy person. :p Taking out a camera to take pictures during classes is just awkward to me. I am sure you will understand. :)
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you!! Don't do anything to get yourself into trouble, just keep us updated on the things you make!
ReplyDeleteHi, I drop by here once awhile to see your delicious cakes... to notice that you are now in Chicago... and then realize that you were the lady that went to a forum asking about apartments rental in chicago.. how's life in chicago so far? Do you like the weather and wind here?

ReplyDeleteOoh, and I wanted to add...at my school people are always pulling out their cameras and taking pictures of their creations, so maybe it's not so weird taking pictures during class :)
