I know! When I first met you I wanted to give you a hug or something, but I thought that would be crossing some boundaries…We need to do a bakeout together soon!

Congrats on passing the exam! I can’t remember if I already posted that. The cheese photos from last post were lovely and tantalizing as well. Good luck with the intermediate section. Question: Do you have to taste everything you make?

Jessica on 12 Sep 2010 at 8:53 am #
We don’t have to do an official tasting in class, but I always give my cakes tributes at home!

Sometimes I give them to friends, other times I leave it at school where other students can have a tasting, and I also bring them home for dessert.
