I'm back!

Hello! Sorry for the delay! Life has gotten pretty hectic lately. Finally things are slowing down. In the past month I had my first baking job (that's right, HAD). And it's already the end of my Introduction to Baking class.

You might be wondering about this baking job. I worked in a cupcake store as an assistant baker. Basically, my job was to measure things out, sift, clean, make frostings and little things, it was a great beginning baking job. The downside was that I had to wake up at 5am, worked from 6am til 2pm then went straight to school after (3-9pm). It was craziness. Honestly, it was a good job! My coworkers were kind of quirky like me and my boss was a sweetheart. I can't deny my fear of the large amount of estrogen in the room though...it was dangerous. Anyways! That's done. I learned a lot in the whole month I worked in there, ha! For now, while I'm in school, I don't think I can handle another job like that...I'm going to look for a more mellow job.

Intro to baking is almost done, but that's not a huge deal because I'm continuing to Intermediate Baking! Same teacher, some of the same classmates, so I think it'll be fun. I'm ready to move onto bigger and better things.

As far as recipes go on my lil blog baby...I'm working on posting some new ones! I think from now on though, I'm sorry to say, I will post the recipes in ounces & lbs. Real baker style. If you prefer cups and things, you can convert--trust me it's simple. If I can do it, anyone can do it. Seriously, I finished my math career in high school with algebra 2 (and I barely passed).

Woo! So look forward to some good baking recipes!

Oh, and here's a cool thing I found on Pinterest:
