The Tournant in the yeast Station!

 

 

The time in the yeast station was great! I enjoyed workingin there especially  with Jenn. I was glad to be in there again to get some more confidence and knowledge of yeast products!  We always have been busy with keeping up the work, but the products still turned out very good. If you are together with a friend times flies by and ist more fun and enjoyable ;). The following week I am the kitchen Manager which will be even more exciting! It is very important to know how to do laundry and dishes, because cleaning is a big  part of baking. Clean as you go so there is no big mess and you dont have to rush when ist time to go into the classroom and learn a lesson!

                                            A week in the Cookie Station

My week in the cookie station was quite relaxing and fun. When I try making cookies at home they turn out too crunchy/hard or too soft so they fall apart. In the bakeshop it is a  totally different story.
The recipes are great and easy to make, the products mostly turns out how it supposed to. I also got to do some snicker bars, which didn't turn out that great because the cookie crumb bottom part wasn't divided equally in half so one bar was great and the other way too flat. But you know you learn from experience and from mistakes, and this is what makes it fun and enjoyable. Your friends are there to help you and also our great teacher which is always there for us. The thing I like is that I get to be in a different station every week and get to have a "hands on" practice. The station that I love to be in so far is the yeast station, because I have brought some experience into this station  which makes it easier for me to create those yeast products. I m very excited what I am fount to learn in the coming weeks and in the station I haven't been yet. It will for sure be great and I m looking forward to it!

 

A little known fact that many of my friends and family are aware of is the fact that I love to bake (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have willingly enrolled myself in a baking program), but I must admit, I'm not the most creative when it comes to icing stuff and garnishing desserts. I love making brownies and cookies and banana bread because there isn't as much pressure to make them look all fancy and pretty afterwards, but when it comes to cupcakes and cakes of sorts, you may have to pull my leg a bit before I agree to making any. Nevertheless, today I decided I needed some practice with my icing skills and made a batch of lemon cupcakes for my family. Once the cupcakes were out of the oven and had cooled I whipped up some homemade lemon-flavoured butter cream icing and began piling some into my piping bag. After looking on Google for some inspiration, I started my journey, and I must admit I'm actually kind of pleased with how some of them turned out. Of course I need quite a bit more practice, but that's why this baking program is so wonderful. I'm getting hands-on experience every day in a bakeshop with a wonderful teacher. I can't wait till level two when we get more into cakes and stuff like that.
