jack of all cakes

Hello World! That was the longest hiatus yet! Well, a lot has happened since I last updated.

So let's zoom past the boring stuff: I completed my externship at Real Food Daily in West Hollywood, where I learned how to prepare vegan food and pastries. Then I had my graduation ceremony in May. After I graduated, one of my friends created cooking classes for his extensions program at LA Harbor College for me to teach. I taught a few Saturday courses of varying cuisines. Then I taught kids cooking classes in the summer for six weeks. It was kind of a nightmare (if my friend/boss is reading this, just kidding... but not really)!

Now onto more exciting news...

I've decided that I want to go into cake decorating, and maybe become a private chef. In order to do so, I will have to do more training on my own. During my free time, I will develop my own recipes and try them out at home. When I'm satisfied with the recipes, I'll post them on here for you guys.

As for cake decorating, my spark of interest began when a former coworker of mine asked me to make a cake for her niece's 4th birthday. The theme was Alice in Wonderland, so I made my first whimsical topsy-turvy fondant cake. It was also my first multi-tiered cake. It sure was a grueling process, but the end result left me wanting to create more!

I'm thinking of creating a separate blog just for my cakes, but I will think about that. Here are the rest of the cakes in my arsenal so far:

I have deemed myself, "Jack of All Cakes."

So that's that... I hope to update more often again!
