Well I'm almost done my first week of finals! We spent the first two days of the week with Chef Nicholas learning how to make some new sugar flowers. Here are pictures of what we created.

Stephanotis

Sweet Pea

Cymbidium Orchid

Hydrangea

On Wednesday we began working on our cakes. We were placed in groups of two to create a Sweet 16 cake. We were partnered up a few weeks ago so we had time to plan out our ideas. After combining our two designs we came up with a flapper/fashion themed cake. We had six hours over two days to complete it. 

Each group had to do a sketch of how they wanted their final cake to look. After some thought, this is what we came up with. 

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the cake in progress as we were busy trying to get it all done on time, but here is our final product! 

The time went by really fast and we almost didn't finish, but we managed to pull it together in the end and I'm so happy with the final result! Everyone in our class did an amazing job and I'm so excited to see all the wedding cakes finished.

These are all the other cakes made from the people in my class. It was awesome to see them all together. So that's one cake done, and only one more to go before graduation! Our final cake will be a winter themed wedding cake. We'll have around twenty hours over five days to complete it. I'm a bit nervous but I think it will all come together in the end. Here's hoping anyway... Wish me luck! The next time you hear from me I'll be done my Wedding cake! Until then.

Happy baking,

Kayla
