I love that baker's heart. It's flawless. I can't make a heart out of flour, mostly because I never flour my bench that much. Bread flour doesn't make a good heart anyway. Still, I think I'll keep trying.
Yeah, I can't frost cupcakes. I'm glad I can't though, it puts things in perspective. I mean come on, what was I thinking? Obviously I'm not a pro... yet. I will DEFINITELY go back, even if it's not for a job. I will stand there, pipe a perfect circle, and show her I can be passionate.
The lesson of the week was about peanut butter cinnamon rolls. Baking is all about looking around in your kitchen, and mixing in deliciousness. It's about taking a simple recipe and jazzing it up. You take an already great recipe for cinnamon rolls, incorporate peanut butter with your butter, and you've got yourself something new and delicious. I filled my bear claws with cinnamon sugar on accident. I made them my own. I'm a natural! Hahaha kidding aside, I really think I can do this. I need a lot more experience first. Two weeks and a bear claw doesn't make me top chef material, but it gets me two weeks closer to my dream job.
I feel like going on a baking frenzy! Time to look into ceramic tile prices.
