PRACTICUM 6/15/06 > (pictured mini peach crisp-pie) Even thought the bakery does mainly cheesecakes we get unusual requests... this is one of them LOL :P The client wanted a "sugar-free" peach pie... What she got was a 'hybrid pie' a cross between a pie and a crisp! Developed by me using the knowledge learned in Advanced Pastry! THANKS ALISON!!!! I think I butchered your peach-cherry crisp trying to make it "Sugar-free" with Splenda ... never the less everyone LOVED it at the bakery.

PRACTICUM 6/15/06 > raw peach pies

PRACTICUM 6/16/06 > More decorated cookies ... for father's day

PRACTICUM 6/15/06 > Decorated a birthday cheesecake

PRACTICUM: I did these today at the bakery in which I am doing my practical. A lady special ordered these pro MAVS cookies for a party. These are sugar cookies, choc.chip and oatmeal cookies decorated with MAVS stuff...not exactly a piece of art but still fun to make. : )

Last day of chocolate work for Adv. Pastry Competition class ... final project was a all chocolate box with ribbon. We all got the same assignment and each one rendered their very own version of a chocolate box.
