Finals...

I just got home from school. Yes I go to school from 6-10 on Fridays and whole day Sundays. We just had our finals for Module 3 and it came out good! I got a 100% on my practical which was to bake a Lemon Scented White Cake and decorate it as well. It was fun but a lot of work. I thought I was going home early but since there were a lot of stuff to do like the buttercream and royal icing, we ended up going 30 minutes past 10pm.
I was also able to get the binder for Module 4, our final mod! I will surely miss going to school.

Morimoto

Last Saturday, my husband and I had our post Valentine date at Morimoto in NYC. He booked it in advance and so we didn't have a hard time getting a table. Our table was ready as soon as we got there which was pretty good. I hate waiting...Anyways, we tried their 7 course meal which was really worth it! Here are some of the pics I took. My husband didn't want me to use my camera so I just used my iphone.

First, we had this tuna tartar which was I think the best tuna tartar! nothing to complain..
 For our main course, we had Wagyu beef and lobster...yummy!
 We also had foie gras which was really good....
For the price that my husband paid, there was not a single think I can complain about. Everything was just so delicious! We will definitely go back.

Love ! Love! Love!

Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers and the single ones! I always treat Valentine's Day a very special day since this is the day when most couples really get to express how they feel and maybe the chance to spend time , just the two of them. Well in our case, we get to celebrate it after Feb 14. It's just too crowded to go out. Even if you made reservations, chances are you still need to wait for hours. Not what I would like to do anyways. So for this Heart's Day, we will be celebrating it on Saturday, February 19. My husband made reservation at Morimoto! Yippee!!! I can't wait to try their food.www.morimoto.com

Sick

My eldest has been sick since yesterday so no school for him. I hate it when my kids get sick. I can't function well. I'd rather be sick:( It must be the weather. Crazy weather here in the east coast. Snow, rain, a little bit of sun. Haaayyy, makes me want to move to Cali.

Garden State Cake Show












Last February 6 I volunteered at the Garden State Cake Show held in Burlington, NJ. One of the organizers was Chef Vanessa Greeley. You might have seen her before on Food Network Challenge. She was really nice. I met her first at the Chocolate Show in NY where I also volunteered. Anyways, here are some pics at the cake show.

Pie oh My!

 I made these pies weeks ago and they turned out pretty good:) I'm not a pie eater but i really like this two.

Cancel

So I had to cancel my trail today. My youngest son woke up and wasn't feeling well....family first. For some reason he was throwing up so I got a bit concerned. I called the bakeshop and explained everything. The owner was really nice and willing to reschedule. But then yeah after that, my son was like back to normal like nothing happened. Maybe he just wanted me to stay home with him after all. Kids....

Trail

Woke up really early today. Maybe too excited to go to my trail i don't know. Today i'll be working with one of the most talented cake artists here in East Coast. Excited and scared at the same time. I hope i won't do anything embarrassing. Wish me luck!

Back to school


It's been a while since i've logged in to blog. Been very busy with school. Yes I am back to school. This time it's what i've always wanted to take....Pastry and Baking! Yes! I am now a Pastry student at The Institute of Culinary Education in NY. Can't complain so far. I'm on my third module now...all about cakes and fillings. Sugar high all the time! lol. Going back to school is pretty exciting. Travelling to NY is not! haha. Especially during this kind of weather. Snow every week what can I say? Sick and tired of snow. Let's all move to Cali!
