A Plus Pies, Cakes and More

I know It's been a long time. All I can say is I have mid terms and have been very busy.

Last Friday was a very interesting day. It was the ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony of the new culinary arts building at LCCC in downtown Nanticoke. I volunteered to help in the Pastry Arts kitchen.

The pastry department, had some Sara Lee deserts donated and we plated those along with the deserts that our department made. We made bite size Cream Puffs and Eclairs, along with Florentine with sliced Almonds. The chocolate room was pumping out lots of amazing little deserts like Tiramisu filled chocolate cups along with chocolate tulips filled with white and milk chocolate moose, along with the infamous chocolate covered strawberry's. It was an amazing day, there were in my own estimation, over 300 people that came.

I learned a lot about a lot of different things. The main one being people LOVE dessert and will always eat them, if you have an appealing presentation along with quality food to back it up, no matter how much food they had previously consumed.

Another thing I learned is that, giving a way free samples generates ten fold more business then any other advertising could ever accomplish.

The greatest thing about all this seemingly exhausting hard work is that I had so much fun despite the fact that I crashed when I got home.
