Here are a couple of more pictures of when we worked with sugar:

I made the fish and my partner Jenny made the owl. They're made using the same template.

Our sugar basket. It took us a little while to get the hang of this, but once we got it, we did really well.

We handed in our Menu Project this past Tuesday. Friday in class half of us presented our menu's to the class and received constructive criticism from the Chef and our peers. It's so interesting to see what everyone came up with as far as desserts and everyone's different menu designs.


This Tuesday-Thursday is our practical for the menu project. The Chef's chose two different desserts from everyone's menu's and we each have two days to prep everything and plate up at the end of the second day. I'll be working on this on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then Thursday and Friday is all devoted to review for our final exam.

Next week, Monday-Wednesday is devoted to making a 3-tier wedding cake, then Thursday is the first day of our final exam. Our final is a four day practical ending on Tuesday and then we graduate on Wednesday, June 18th.

The next two weeks are going to be pure hell and are going to fly by so fast!!!
