so frustrated!

Things are going to fast and to slow all at once - I think the stress and frustration will let up once I have all the details worked out like were to live between graduation and the end of the year, can I buy a car, should I buy a car, do I drive and move or do I fly and move, will I get that extern in New Orleans and on and on and on
ughhhhhhhh

Cheese Tasting Class

So that is my class - of course we all have hat head so be warned
these are all of the cheeses we tried

and this I believe is the one I was allergic to Rouqefort (sp?) not good - not good at all - it was almost instant - thank goodness a classmate was urging me to take benedryl the minute I said something is not right - all is good now and thankfully it was the very last cheese we tried

another cupcakery

So this is Lollipop Cupcakery somewhere near Larkfield(?) adorable place and the cupcakes were really cute - good size - and of course I went for the red velvet ...maybe I should just give up on red velvet cupcakes because I have not found a great one yet!

The chocolate and Fleur de Sel cupcake was good part of the problem is all the cupcakes are kept in a refrigerator case and we did not wait to let our cupcakes come up to room temp before we ate them

They also made ice cream in house as well






Checking out Cupcakeries

This is Sift of Cotati, Ca
There atmosphere is a little girly with chandeliers and stuff but still doable
and this place had constant customers on a sunday late afternoon

this is there banaofee (sp?) which is amazing ! Banana Cupcake with a caramel center and creamcheese frosting so good!
this is there Key Lime I loved the person I was with though to tart but it is a lime cupcake?
Here is there packaging which is cute but that plastic container is annoying!

Overall I loved them cupcakes were fresh and yummy and a normal cupcake size

well

So things are moving along ...wondering what the right step is next? I might just stay here for another month so I can hang out with the family and friends during the hoildays. Or do I just go and start - but that could be sad

I am in contemporary cakes right now not really my style but interesting

I seem to always be tired lately - not sleeping well - clinching my teeth a lot as well - probably will be better once I know what I am doing for sure

Going on a pumpkin field trip tomorrow and a tour of a goat cheese farm so that should be fun
Miss ya all

update

Ok, so I am given you all some photos along with an update since I have been lagging in this department big time -
So above this is the cake I made for my practical in Occasion cakes - it is a couple of suitcases with a top hat and a bouquet of flowers


Gosh, I look tired wich I am pretty much most of the time - here was another cake no specific occasion


Amy and I at Hardly Stickly Bluegrass 2008 - which I proceeded to get a very bad asthma attack after sitting in a grove of Eucalyptus (not smart on my part - but I hadn't had asthma in months) I actually missed school on Monday as well and I am still having a pretty rough time of it

So I have been wondering what to do next I really think I might do externships all over the place for awhile 3 months in Louisana and then 3 months in Ny at Amy's Bread basically here or there ...fun places

Stressful trying to line this all up as well as a place to live - hoping
