The good news is I got promoted to student council officer, so for now I'm the student council secretary...for now. :) The bad news is I have a lot less time on my hands between stuco, Eta Sigma Delta (national honor society of hotels and restaurant management schools,) and my beautiful nephew Ronald James Hough IV (James). So here's a quick rundown of my recent weeks in the most fattening class ever to date.
We've made danish, croissants, pain au chocolat, turnovers, strudel, apple tart tartin, and lots of other amazing things. I'm in the middle of a 3 day practical exam on croissants and pain au chocolat, and waiting for my paper in viennoiserie back. Viennoiserie, in case I haven't said anything about it, is a french word for pastry made in the Viennese style, usually a laminated dough.
I signed up to take Chef David Watson's (the culinary student's pastry chef) sugar sculpting class at the end of the mod, and I'm absolutely psyched for that. This weekend I'm driving down to Machen Retreat and Conference Center in VA to cook for the home missions conference with my dad. Next week, I have to bake my baby sister's graduation cake, which I will definitely put up pictures of, but I can't give any details because I want to surprise her! In the middle of my week long summer vacation, I'm going to Creation Festival with my brother, helping with the girls. Then I get to come back to school for my specialty cakes and pies class, and I have a cake order that calls for a sculpted ATV on top of the cake. Well, time to get back to my filing work.
