Hello everybody,
I hope you guys have had a good week. My week was really calm and uneventful. I spent the week doing my usual routine. The only necessarily different thing was I had two meetings with my career reps. It was very helpful to hear from them and discuss my current status. I always love chatting with them and figuring out if I have been doing the right stuff. It’s a great way to get tips for my job hunt. Hopefully, with these new tips and the extra feedback I’ll be making more progress. i’m always looking for feedback for my portfolio, applications, resume, and interview skills. I’m trying to implement these changes into my life and continue to improve.
This week was also the week of my moms birthday. So we partied and had some fun with friends. My mom and I decided it would be fun to attempt a mirror glaze cake for her birthday party. This was probably one of the more complex bakes I’ve ever attempted and it was a fun project. We had several mishaps though. The first was the recipe called for raspberry jam but instead we got preservatives. This caused issues when freezing. It seems either preserves take longer to freeze or don’t freeze at all. The second issue was with our mousse for this cake. It may not have been thick enough and this caused it to not set quite properly and the cake to sink. This meant ultimately the cake was not flat on top as it should be and thus the glaze looked a bit weird, however, it still was very good. My mom and I afterwards were debating and trying to figure what we might try next time as we want to do this right. It was a really fun experiment.
Well till next week folks. I hope your week goes awesome and it’s a fantastic time. I look forward to sharing good news.
