Future Pastry Chef

I have the most excellent news, I’m going to The Institute of Culinary Education to become a pastry chef! I start in July. I’m completely and totally excited about this. This has been a dream of mine for as far back as I can remember. And it just so happens we’re financially stable enough right now that I can do it. Plus, they offer classes that work with my busy mom schedule.

So: Yay!

And here begins chapter 327 of this here blog. Stories to come, for sure!

    I have a friend who went to school to be a pastry chef, I got great tips from her.
    Good thing you’re running though! She said everyone in her class added about 25 lbs while in school,
