So I just started my externship at a local bakery out east. So far I really like it there. While I’m not making wedding cakes and other great and brilliant masterpieces, I’m learning and working my way up to being able to do things with perfection. I love all my co-workers, and my boss, while sometimes irks me (who’s doesn’t) is really a great person to learn from.

So far I’ve made a bunch of cookies, blondies, magic cookie bars (which i never heard of before i made them the other day), washed lotsa dishes, and did alot of prep work.  And I’ve learned that I’m tired after working long hrs in the bakery(and my hrs aren’t as long as they should be yet) and I love sitting down. But keep it coming, I want to get better and faster with what I do…and develop more talent then being a minion.

So I have been doing research for John’s bday and know I def want to make a dessert for him. I originally wanted to make a Simpson’s Couch cake, but figure that by the time I buy all the supplies and make it, it prob won’t feed the entire party. So I’d have to make another cake as well.

Then I came across these photos of cupcakes that look like hamburgers. John is obsessed with burgers, It looks really good, easy to make and def I could make enough to feed everyone. So I’m thinking I’m going to make them instead. Perhaps I’ll make the simpson’s cake another time (like when I have a paying job) or in addition to the cupcakes. But so far I really like the cupcakes since they’re unusual and quirky…just the way I like em!

Ok since this is my first post I’ll say a little bit about myself:

So I officially graduated Pastry School at the Institute Of Culinary Education last week. I am starting an externship at Have Your Cake Ltd. on Wed of this week. I’m really excited and looking forward to starting my life of cakes, cupcakes and anything else delicious.

I’m currently working and (i guess you could say owning) a restaurant with my bf, where I’m the pastry chef. My future goal (at least one of them) is to make wedding/celebration cakes, cupcakes and perhaps own my own bakery (I have to include brownies they’re too yummy to forget). If I don’t open up a bakery perhaps a Dessert Restaurant or even become a professional food writer (it could happen I have a degree in English) or Novelist.

So please do tune back as I post pictures and write about what else…..Food!
