I know! When I first met you I wanted to give you a hug or something, but I thought that would be crossing some boundaries…We need to do a bakeout together soon!

Congrats on passing the exam! I can’t remember if I already posted that. The cheese photos from last post were lovely and tantalizing as well. Good luck with the intermediate section. Question: Do you have to taste everything you make?
Jessica says
We don’t have to do an official tasting in class, but I always give my cakes tributes at home!
ray says

sergey says
what happens to all the cakes/pastries you guys make?
Jessica says
Sometimes I give them to friends, other times I leave it at school where other students can have a tasting, and I also bring them home for dessert.
