Hello all, just a quicky post as I still have mucho homework and a 6 day school week looming over my head…sigh. I can’t wait till I have more time to share with you what I’ve learned and what I’ve been cooking up. I presented my final last week to my instructor and the response […]
Just a quickie post to update anyone who might be interested on my school shenanigans… I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time…almost 4 weeks to be exact! I also keep learning how much I don’t know! Some of you heard me whine mention the rigorous school schedule I have. One […]

Actually the whole cupcake thing was NOT planned. I realized on Saturday that I had to make a dessert for the Golden […]
