hello world!
I just graduated from pastry school last week! sigh of relief. I'm glad to be done with school and ready to start working in the real world like an adult. Graduation was fun (perhaps due to the 2 glasses of prosecco I had before the ceremony) and I got a nice recognition for having the best average of the major projects we had to complete during our course of study (the chocolate showpiece, the menu project which I'll talk about later, the pastillage showpiece and the wedding cake) I don't have pictures from the graduation since my cousin was taking pictures with her camera and I haven't gotten them yet, but I do have pictures of my final showpiece. The theme was "The year I was born" and I chose to do it on IBM PC Compatible, which was introduced to the public that year. The guy sitting on the stool is John Akers, president and CEO of IBM at the time. Here are some pictures.

final piece: I had to make a quiche lorraine, an opera cake, espresso bonbons and an cinnamon-nut-raisin danish (not pictured). Jeff is sitting on the left, holding a microphone and the computer is on the right, under the spotlights.
After graduation, my cousins and former roommate and I got drinks and tapas and headed for a cool art opening, dinner and after party for Damian Ortega, an awesome artist who's exhibition is currently at the Barbara Gladstone Gallery in NYC (21st street). The afterparty was at a beautiful spot called Bongo West. Friendly staff, beautiful and spacious rooms, comfortable lounge chairs (great for a party!) and we danced the night away....
the weekend was beautiful and relaxing..... cleaning on Saturday and Sunday Brunch at 10 Downing, the food was delicious, as always.
