Back to "work"! *^_^

Got home at 1 am - cake deco class 9 am that morning - tough but totally worth it!

Made my first gum paste rose - I think it came out cuuuute!

Mum made the calla lily next to it.

James Rosselle! Even cuter in real life!

Chocolate class was sooooooooooo fun!

Got pics too!
I thought James was cute on TV but he's even cuter in real life! And he's such a sweetie too! It was probably the nicest day I ever had... my flowers were ridiculous and it was way too hot to work with chocolate - but it was grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! The folks at cake supplies depot were so nice. I'm gonna take more courses from them whenever I'm up here again! Loved it! Gonna post pics as soon as I get back to Trinidad *^_^

Here we are aboard Caribbean Airlines Flight 480 cruising at 36,000 feet on the way to Fort Lauderdale. The first officer announced that we should be arriving 20 minutes early!!! Could it be that we’ll be early enough to attend James Rosselle’s Sugar Flower demo “a Very Sweet Trip around the World”? Maybe…. *squeeeeeee!!!! I wonder how if there are any places left? Or if they’ll allow anyone to register so last minute!

Oh, ok now she’s saying we’ll be arriving 15 minutes early – trying not to get my hopes up – but he’s going to making Tulips from Holland, Lilies from Italy, Cherry Blossoms from Japan, Irises from France, and the Cattleya Orchid from Brazil! Oh! I hope hope hooooope we get in!

Gum Paste Flowers!

Today was our second class - first class actually making anything - and it was pretty fun. The AC dried out everyone's gum paste but I think we got some good work done - lots of leaves and flower centres - OH! and stephanotis flowers! No pics yet - cos they got wet when it started to rain suddenly on the way to the car!

Not much- but I'm super happy to have some experience of SOMETHING before I go to the James Rosselle course this weekend!! I'm so excited/nervous!! I should have high speed at the hotel so I'll be uploading pics, like - almost immediately!

I wish I had some ecole chocolat schwag - like a shirt or something to wear to the course -- hmm... I should write that in my feedback form. Anyway - can't wait!!!

GRADUATED!

I did it! I completed both the Chocolate Maker and Professional Chocolatier programs! Check out my awesome Ecole Chocolat badge I get to use on my site! It really was a great experience and there are alot of resources available in the graduate centre. My only regret: Not doing these courses earlier! Can't wait to get my certificates!

13 days 8 hours 43 minutes and like.. 2 seconds!!

I think I'm hyperventilating!
