Stars, steak, and cakes! : )

Hey everyone!! : )

So recaps, recaps!

On Tuesday, during Pastry Tube Art, we had our midterm by showing off how we could make stars, rosettes, zig zags, and more. I think I have improved a lot! : )

On Wednesday we made steak, sauce, risotto, and sauted veggies. I don't eat steak, so two other girls and myself cut one into three parts so we all three wouldn't waste a whole steak in the end! The cooking is the same, it just takes less to to brown in the pan in the beginning!

Yummmy, brown! x0

On Thursday we made high fat cakes! I made a high ratio yellow cake, and a creaming method chocolate cake! We also made some crepes that we filled half with nutella, and half with a savory meat mixture.They were easy, and straight forward. We had a yummy ice cream and cake party afterwards and I was full, full, full! : )

Friday and Saturday were full of Cold Stone working! I worked till midnight on Friday, but I love my job so I didn't really mind! : )

Finally today, I had some awesome Pad Thai with my brother, and am again: full, full, full!

I can't wait for Thanksgiving this week! I'm going to try and bake some pies, and my parents are coming up to visit so It's going to be a lot of fun!

Love you all, and tell my about your Thanksgiving!

I want x, y, and z... oh and extra chocolate chips! X0

Haha I LOVE working at Coldstone's! I went in today at about 11:45 and was shown around the store a little more, and at noon I was thrown into making waffle cones! I mixed up the batter and made about ten cones, when the customers starting coming in, and it didn't end! I scooped ice cream, made milkshakes and smoothies, rang up cake orders, washed out blenders, and rang up customers over and over! When I finally was able to look at the clock, it was past 5! I was having so much fun, that I didn't even notice five hours had gone by! Other people found it stressful, but I thought it was pretty fun, and exciting! I can't wait to work again!

PS. All the kids who come in are so cute, it is always almost like this though! x0
