First Project of 2009!

Petite Fours! This was such a fun project for me, I really enjoyed it! And they tasted so good!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a fun year, and that you have many wonderful years ahead of you! I decided half-way through last semester that when I graduate this coming July, I am going to move to the east coast. Yes, it is far away from where my family lives, and I don't have a whole lot of connections on that coast, but I remember growing up in the Boston area (well, for as long as we were stationed there) as being one of the happiest times of my life, and, having recently visited the Boston area, realized that I still love the atmosphere of that area. So my mind is made up. I am going to try to find an apprenticeship at a cake bakery there, and move as soon as possible. That is part of the reason I have started this blog, to document the journey, and to build a portfolio of my cake decorating escapades. I hope I can do it all with a smile on my face, and keep a positive attitude through it all! Love Love me!
