Stumbling Towards Bakery: September 2011
http://stumblingtowardsbakery.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Friday, September 30, 2011. I like to blame all my inefficiencies on not being allowed to be a boy scout. I consistently lose pine wood derby. I got all my cuts done (first to finish even) and approved by the chef. The knives did claim their victims though. Two girls cut themselves, almost immediately. My time will come. I know this. I am just happy I didn't go first. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Monday, September 26, 2011. I final...

Stumbling Towards Bakery: February 2012
http://stumblingtowardsbakery.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Yesterday it seems like every thing came together at once. We have worked for a week on components of various items and yesterday we finally assembled. We were also surprised to find out that we would be graded on two of the items. We made chocolate souffles as well. They were pretty simple to make. Sunday, February 26, 2012. You can make them savory or sweet depending on your mood. The batter whips ...

Stumbling Towards Bakery: December 2011

A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Thursday, December 22, 2011. NYC, I love thee. I will write a little recap of my very first trip to New York City. Note that my husband blogged about our trip as it was happening so his it better. Really you should just ignore this post and read his. I learned two things on this trip. 1 All stereotypes about NYC are true. 2 NYC is the heart of Christmas. I learned four things about New York. 1 All stereotypes are true. 6 As promise...

Stumbling Towards Bakery: Whirlwind
http://stumblingtowardsbakery.blogspot.com/2012/04/whirlwind.html
A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. My life has been a whirlwind of adventure, hard work, some loss and mostly gain lately. Shortly after my last post my grandfather-in-law died. He was an amazing man. The loss of him was felt deeply in our house and in my husband's whole family. That sort of put our lives on pause for a week while we helped with funeral preparations but it felt really good to be part of the process. April 25, 2012 at 10:14 AM.

Stumbling Towards Bakery: March 2012
http://stumblingtowardsbakery.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Tuesday, March 20, 2012. What have I been doing lately? Making cakes of course! Last week in class we made 3 cakes and they were all pretty tasty. First we made a yellow chiffon cake. It was light and fluffy and we filled and covered it with whipped cream. It was basically a cake to practice on. We practiced cutting it into thirds, doing a crumb coat and then mixing pretty colors to decorate it with. Friday, March 9, 2012. I really...

Stumbling Towards Bakery: January 2012
http://stumblingtowardsbakery.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Friday, January 27, 2012. Blah, blah, blah. All I talk or think about is bread. Bread, bread, bread. I have started planning my meals around what will go well with the bread I just brought home. The only trouble is, our instructor doesn't abide by the syllabus so I can't plan ahead. I guess that also makes it kind of exciting. New thing of last week - I walked into a bakery I have never been to and inquired about doing a stage.

Stumbling Towards Bakery: 12 Step
http://stumblingtowardsbakery.blogspot.com/2012/03/12-step.html
A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Sunday, March 4, 2012. This weekend I had some spare time so I decided to make bread. I kind of miss baking bread all the time. It is almost therapeutic. Besides, during our breads class we had an assignment to create our own original bread recipe and I wanted to see if mine would actually work and taste good. I made a variation of ciabatta bread with fresh herbs and pine nuts. 95 Score - Another bonus step I guess. If your bre...

Stumbling Towards Bakery: Plate it up
http://stumblingtowardsbakery.blogspot.com/2012/05/plate-it-up.html
A girl's journey to find peace in the form of cake. A bundt cake perhaps. Tuesday, May 1, 2012. I have finished the plated desserts portion of the class. We had to make six plates that were graded on taste appearance and whether or not all the correct components were on the plate. I got 100% on each of them! Last we made a pear poached in red wine. We then reduce the poaching liquid to made a red wine reduction. We also included vanilla diplomat cream, ice cream, the haystack and a sugar garnish&...My Ev...
