(from yesterday) DAY 171 Made marshmallows, and pate de fruit, sour pear candy (not finished yet). I did burn the PDT… and then we were practicing tempering chocolate and okay-ish but I don’t feel very confident in it. A decent day but I want to make chocolates (and my bestie wasn’t there) #Baking #BakerySchool #BecomingABaker #Candy

DAY 170 So many study days. Made candy canes but in a different shape, we call them polkagris, “polka pigs” no idea why. It was fun and I did okay. More candy tomorrow! #Candy #BecomingABaker #BakerySchool #Baking

DAY 169 Finished the bonbons we started, not easy but fun and yummy. Inspired to make more chocolates and ready to get back to school. Another study day tomorrow and I’ll study and practice tempering chocolate, I find that difficult. Making a list of flavor combos I want to try. What kind of chocolates would you want to try? #Baking #BecomingABaker #BakerySchool #Chocolate

Study day today so I did some research and went to a fancy chocolate place and got some chocolates. Lessons learned, I like when there's more than one filling and want there to be some different textures as well #Chocolate #BecomingABaker #BakerySchool #Baking

DAY 168 First day in the chocolate room, we made 3 different fillings and used ready made shells to speed things up and practice. Making the fillings weren’t that hard but filling the shells were harder than I thought. I need more practice but it was fun. So great to be back! Inspired to make a bunch of chocolates! #Baking #BecomingABaker #BakerySchool

DAY 167 It was fantastic to be back to school. Felt like the last 8 weeks never happened. Great to see my bffs but it’s her last part of the course before her break which is sad. Very ready for the chocolate course and knock on wood, feeling good! #Baking #BecomingABaker #BakerySchool

DAY 166 Last day! Went okay but I was just done and wanted to go home. Wasn’t my best and I haven’t cared for some time now. I feel a weight off my shoulders now that it’s over and I really hope that my next spot is better Trivia of the day, gluten doesn’t kill someone who’s allergic, they might give the a stomach ache to it’s not a big deal if a tiny bit of flour ends up in the cake #Baking #BecomingABaker #BakerySchool

DAY 165 My handler was putting glitter on a cake by blowing on it… you are spitting on that cake. They decorate cakes with toxic plants. Reheating a cream and putting it into a new batch only to get frozen again, that’s can’t be good. Feels like I’m in Hell’s Kitchen. (I want to watch Hell’s Bakery so badly). Last day tomorrow, let’s go! #Baking #BakerySchool #BecomingABaker

DAY 164 Another decent day, why did it have to take seven weeks? Last day with one of my handlers and I think I won her over but she also said I need to get better at everything, and that I should come work with her. Two more days, so happy. Let’s go! #Baking #BakerySchool #BecomingABaker

DAY 163 Decent day again. Weird that it took 7 weeks for things to get better. A woman who’s had an attitude with me since day one, burned her foot last week and I helped her and she seemed almost surprised. She has spoken to me more since than and she even joked with me today. Oh well... #Baking #BecomingABaker #BakerySchool
