I finished school and started my externship

My last day of culinary school was last Friday and I still cannot believe it. I am done with school and do not have to go back! Below is a close up of my gumpaste flowers and the final project. Iam so proud of my cake. I did more than I thought I would be able to. Let me know what you think of the cake and the flowers.

On top of finishing this big cake, I started my externship at the Bakeshop. I have to work at 5am on the days that I have to go in. Im cool with the hours but after I get off I am so tired and usually pass out lol. The bad part about this week is that I have to work onSunday and I have told them that I have to be at church on Sundays! I mean I dont know about them but I go to church! I mean HELLO!!!! Ugh too much. This externship is already letting me know alot about what I want to do and wht kind of place I will want to work at. I knowthat most of the people in my class are going to want to work at the places they are externing at right now but only after two days I think I already know that I probably wont want to work there full time after this is over. Is that good or bad?? I am trying to figure out where I will want to work after this 6 weeks. I mean its only 6 weeks!!!!!! Thats how long I have to try and find some place and work omg! I need help. If any one has any suggestions PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! OMG! I still cant believe I am going to have to find a full time job and it will be in the field I have longed to work in. I think that is part of the reason I am freaking out slightly. I never imagined that I would have such a hard time figuring out where I want to work. wow! I need to stop stressing and just keep praying. No but seriously, If anyone has ANY suggestions let your girl know lol.

So on Sunday, I had my first corporate meeting for Smooches, Inc! Exciting right!!!???!! My family is just as excited as I am which makes planning this whole thing easier for me. Its good to know that I have their support. Dont forget about your girl though. Let people know that You know someone who can fulfill there sweet needs!!! Please and thank you!

So until next time....SMOOCHES!!!!

It's almost over...

This week marks my last week of having actual class at Le Cordon Bleu and I cannot believe that my time there has come to an end. I am in the process of finishing up my last practical which is my wedding cake. I am so very excited about finishing this cake because for the longest I never thought that I would be able to put together a nice wedding cake but I have high hopes for myself. Cant wait til its done and I can place yet another picture in my portfolio. Below you will find a picture of the small wedding cake I did last week

.

Last week's experiment I did not take a picture of :-/ I made two small cakes for a friends birthday. I am still waiting to hear what he thought of the cakes.

In other news, my sister is coming home this evening! Our family is participating in Relay for Life tomorrow night and the next day (5/15)is my daddy's 63rd birthday!!! YAY!!! (There is a pic of us below).

Im pretty excited about all this weekend has in store.Got a few orders for this weekend as well.I will be sure to place a pic of the bday cake I am doing tomorrow on here as well.

That's all for me right now so until next time....SMOOCHES!!!!

What an awesome week!

This past week was truly amazing!!!

Let's start with the fact that my brother was blessed with another year of life! Always something to be happy about! I later found out that my business was officially incorporated as well. SMOOCHES--Sweets by Elece, Inc. I was so happy ans still am!!! Also on Monday, I began my last class at Le Cordon Bleu! WOW...i still cant believe that I am almost done..can you?? SO on May 17th, I begin my externship at The Bakeshop ATL and I am extremely excited about that as well. Everything is falling into place and I cant do anything but thank God for moving in my life the way that he is.

More and more as I am sitting around, I am finding myself thinking about food and pastries around the clock! That being said many times i get these visions and ideas and cant help but to get in the kitchen and see if what I am thinking up can come to life :-) So this weeks experiment was with white chocolate. I made a white chocolate cupcake with white chocolate icing (pic below). It was yummy but I already see where I need to make a few adjustments. But that is the whole point of experiments right. I already have my idea for next week as a friend of mine wants me to make them a cake and all they told me was to make sure certain ingredients were in it so we will see! I am excited. But before I can jump the gun I must take it a day at a time. I am currently taking a small break as I wait for some things to set up in my fridge for another cake. I cant say much about it because the person I am making it for might not know about it. Pic will be coming soon tho :-)

Thats all for now. More coming soon as work goes into my website and completing my ideas for my business. Get excited and tell all your friends and family about SMOOCHES--Sweets by Elece!!

So until next time...SMOOCHES!!
