The Wedding Cake Shop

I told you before that I really want to go to the Culinary School, well, my plans fell through and I couldn't get the funding to go to school. So I started my job search, I decided since I can't go to school I'll work instead. I tried a few different places and I wasn't very successful with any of them. My Sister in law told me about a lady she knew that owns at a Wedding cake shop. I got in touch with her and I went in to meet her, she told me that she wasn't hiring right now but she was losing some people in the beginning of 2012. She asked me what I want to do. I told her I really want some training, like an internship or apprenticeship. She told me she could train me and possibly hire me on when she loses her staff. I was so excited. She asked me that day if I wanted to stay and work with her for a while. I said yes. She was decorating some white chocolate leaves.
Chocolate Leaves
What you do is pick some leaves from a tree, non-poison, non-hairy, clean leaves. You wash them with soap, dry them, and lay them face down on a paper towel. Melt some white chocolate rounds and coat the backside of the leaf where the veins are, it will make an impression. It is very easy and fun to do.

I decided that instead of telling you all the little secrets I learn, I will tell you one every once in a while. I gotta have some to myself, right?
Well, anyway, thanks for reading!!!
