Goodbye Flowers and Borders

My second flowers an borders class has ended. It is sad in a way because I enjoy the classes so much. I have not been very good at documenting it. Here some pictures from the class.

I am so proud of how they stuck in there. Flowers are not the easiest thing to make, but we were able to have lots of fun making them.

So Updates........

Well school has started. Being a special education teacher that means I have been busy. Here is an update of some things I've done.

First I've had my beginning class going. I have a small class, but they sure are fun.

In the fun of cake classes my hubby and friend's daughter had a birthday so two cakes were made. My hubby wanted a Black Forest cake. It was really messy so we put it in a trifle container. My friends daughter loves horses. She's also all girl so My Little Ponies seemed like the perfect addition.

Pastry Classes In Boulder

I have totally been a party animal and thought I would share. I went to Boulder CO June 28-July 2. I attended the Culinary School of the Rockies pastry vacation. It was wonderful. Day 1- we made a lot of pastry doughs and got things ready to make tarts, pies, and quiche crusts.

Day 2 Cake

We finished a lot from day one then made our cakes to decorate on day 3. We learned not to overmix the batter. Our cake still turned out yummy. It was the Chocolate one.

Day 3-

Icecream- We made all the bases for our icecream. We let them Ripen overnight it makes them tastier and creamier.

Day 4-

Puff Pastry, Baked custards, etc.

I was so proud of the Creme Brulee we made it was so much fun. Our fruit Chaussons were yummy but sadly I did not get a picture of them.

Day 5-

This was one of my proudest days. We made Souffles. Ours turned out so good. We were broken up in groups and our cake had been a little of a flop so to have such beautiful souffles was great. We also made mousse and truffles. The whole vacation was a total treat literally.
