Nine months, boys and girls, that how long I was in the Pastry program at ICE, and what do I have to show for it? Everything! For starters how about my final project! A celebration cake complete with gum paste flowers! I’m quite proud of my flowers, I can’t believe my stubby fingers made them!

Going back to school (I have a Bachelor’s in Digital Design) was hard work, I was working full time, going to school 3 nights a week, losing my Sunday nights, volunteering at Food events, trailing to find my externship, writing essays on the different components of laminate dough amongst a lot other little essays that covered topics I wasn’t even aware were topics at all until school started.  Hard work, however, that paid off! I am happy as a Clam (whatever that actually means!), and the externship I chose has been great.

Ready for more cake shots? Even the back is cool!

I could talk write forever, the radio version is that this was an amazing experience, and it’s only the start, I have so much to learn still. (Like piping large shells, seriously I couldn’t pipe decent Shells if my life depended on it!)

Edit: I’d like to add that this cake’s Color Palette was inspired by Alphonse Mucha’s Reverie (below),I have been obsessed with Art Nouveau since forever!
