April / May

I can't believe how close we are to the end of college! There's only a couple of weeks left now.

I've been concentrating on chocolate for the past month, and next week I'll be constructing my centerpiece. Right now I've just got a bunch of chocolate eggs in different sizes, some modelling chocolate, and other chocolate bits and bobs. My marzipan piece is sitting half-finished on my kitchen counter, and my wonky pastillage house just needs to get its' roof attached and then finishing touches. So I've neglected working with sugar, but hopefully I'll manage to practice with it for a week or so.

I've managed to get a part-time job making pastries in a cafe, which is pretty cool. I actually have a lot of freedom to make different things, and it's different from any other job I've had.

There's really not too much going on, and I find that without a competition to work towards, I'm really lacking motivation some days... Oh well, onwards and upwards!
