Student Diary: Advanced Pastry Arts, Day 15

Last week was our final. There were 40 questions, and it looks like I did okay!

Julie,

You got 40/40 on the final! Excellent job! Your
overall percentage in the class was 103%. You did an
outstanding job in this class, Julie. I think you
have the makings to be a first-rate pastry chef. It
was a pleasure having you in my class, and I wish you
the best of luck in the future.

Scott

PS Please feel free to e-mail me pictures of cakes and
things you make!

Wow! What a lovely note. From the looks of your creations, you deserve it. I love the coral in your seascape, especially, and the blown sugar.

Congratulations! I am so happy for your accomplishments. Looking at the pictures, you deserved that 103% mark.

I'll keep an eye out for the cookbook you will eventually write. Nudge, nudge.

Thanks, Julius! If I were to ever do a cookbook, I'd want you to co-write so you could add your wealth of knowledge! I love the science of food, but I'm too lazy to script it out, so I'm grateful bloggers like you take the time to. I'm actually trying to get my recipes together to do a TasteBook. =)

Wow Julie you are so talented! Look at this amazing stuff!!! Is it ok if I say I knew you when I see you on the Pastry Showdown on the Food Network?

Thanks, Lewis! Of course--you can tell people that we're blogmates! Though I doubt I'll ever actually end up on the Pastry Showdown. I tend to do well and find inspiration in the kind of pressure they face, but I definitely don't have the skills to compete! (Isn't it unnerving how seriously I took your comment?)
