Week One - Saftey / Sanitation class and some more vegan cuppies!

Phew...The first week was well, long. While I did meet my chef instructors (who are absolutely fabulous) I had to sit, in a room, with all the other students for 5 hours and listen to lecture about safety and sanitation. Important yes, and well a little dry. I felt like I was stuck in a Professional Development only without my many partners in crime...instead I was with well students.

I am happy to say that I am not the oldest student however I am by no means the youngest. I think that I honestly have a little of an advantage over the 18 year olds thanks to college study habits and the professionalism of running a classroom and yearbook.

Today I took my exam and I know I aced it, I will be 'ServSafe' certified for 5 years, although thanks to CA I have to retest every three. Why is it so difficult to get out of a system where you have to be certified with standardized testing?

Tomorrow is the first day in the lab, and yeah we're cooking. Easy short dough, but my first time using their equipment, which is much much much cooler than mine.

Oh yeah, I also made a few more vegan cupcakes. Dulche Sin Leche and Cookies and Cream. So so sweet and so so good.



Check back often, with school underway and being in the labs everyday there will be photos, stories, and hopefully a few disasters. I know you're looking forward to cake fails!
