My Homework

So much has happened in the last few months. I have decided to finally pursue my dream since I was little of going to culinary school. So I applied! AND I got in!!! I seriously cannot wait to start...can I just start now? Its going to be quite a journey, challenging but oh so fulfilling and exciting.

 I have loved my job at Bluebells Cakery and working in the front of house with the customers is a lot of fun because everyone is so happy (except those few people who are in such a hurry and order coffee without a response to "Good morning, how are you today?" Instead they just reply, "Regular flat white, one sugar." But other then those people, its so nice to see how happy everyone is.) Last weekend since everyone was sick/away in the back, I got to step up and decorate in the back! I decorated loaves, mini cupcakes, filling orders as they came my way. And on Sunday, I really stepped up and decorated almost all of the cupcakes for the shop! (Thanks Karla for your guidance :) ) Anyway, I can't wait to see what my future holds at Bluebells, but I love my little family. <3

I was told to do some practice at home of doing the famous Bluebells signature swirl on the cupcakes,  and its MUCH harder than it may seem. But regardless, Im thrilled with how they turned out.





So I also made homemade pork and cabbage dumplings!! I even made the dough and rolled each one out one by one! Took forever and a bit fiddly, but TOTALLY worth it! They were such a hit.
