it was the most stressful cake everrr

yayy

thanks so much to my boss for hooking me up with the opportunity!

summer

again, sorry about the lack of posting

summer has been busier than expected.

i have been working close to full time, trying to go to the gym, and working on a wedding cake as well as going home for a little over a week.

work has been going well, constantly getting busier but nothing too out of the ordinary. we have been featured in magazines such as modern bride and will be shown on Colin Cowies web wedding show soon. we went on vacation in the beginning of july, so i went home to visit mommy.

since jeremiah recently got his license, he drove me home to NY (which was awesome since i hate driving). at home i relaxed alot and scrapbooked with mommy as well as went out to dinner with grammy and got to see cooper for a little while. i also made tabitha an elmo birthday cake for her second birthday. she was shy at first but by the end of happy birthday she had her hands and almost her feet in the cake.

i have also been trying to go to the gym on a somewhat regular schedule, it was going great until last week when i started prepping for this wedding cake. so chances are good i will have about 2 weeks off. but i was running up to 10 miles a day at least 4 days a week. im hoping to keep it up after i finish the cake.

my boss has a friend who is getting married this friday and she has asked me to do the cake, of course i agreed. i have been working on it for a few days now, it is giving me all sorts of problems already though, im getting quite discouraged. from the styrofoam (the bottom two tiers are fake) not shaping how i wanted and the fondant tearing and not sticking, im not really as excited as i initially was. hopefully all turns out well and i can post pictures of it in my next post.

i will be moving out of my apartment at the end of july and going to myrtle beach august 1-9 for vacation with rob and his friends, i can not wait- except for the drive down- i think its going to be a great time. and it will be a nice celebration for myself for making it through a one year lease with 3 other girls, alive.

after vacation i will be going back to new york for most of august, with the exception of a week that i will be coming back to providence (staying at robs apartment) and working so i can both have some income and so my boss does not have to hire a temp to replace me :)

i have recently REread the twilight series, i dont know if i will ever get sick of reading them. i am simply IN LOVE. yep im a nerd but i am a-o-k with that.

so pretty much nothing too exciting. its not very entertaining being in a college town when college is not in session! i cant wait for school to start and have everyone back in the city.

hope all is well and everyone is having a nice warm and relaxing summer

PS...thinking of dying my hair this color red, what do you think?

cupcakes and ice cream cones

so as mommy brought to my attention , i have not updated in a pretty long time!
so here it goes.

im lonely and bored!!!

after school ended amanda moved out (very promptly might i add) and i was left with my two not-so-favorite roomates. well since i pretty much despise one of them, i simply stay in my room and avoid eye contact whenever i must leave. so monday my least annoying of my not-so-favorite roomates moved out as well so now its me and miss im too lazy to clean up ANYTHING, EVER. so yea. and all of my freinds have gone back to their homes in far away states and i am in dirty, smells like fish and garbage chips providence, missing my mommy :( lol

right so thats enough self pity. school ended well. i now have a GPA of 3.49 (ehh not exactly as high as i wanted) and i ended the tri with an A+, B+, and a B. i still have yet to post some pix of my project that i spoke of in a previous post. i just need to take screen shots of the documents, im just lazy.

so in all my spare time i have been going to the gym and working... thats it. i went home this weekend for K-Fest and to see mommy.

K-fest was good. alot of mainstream radio artists but a few were actualy pretty impressive like the Veronicas, Ting Tings, The White Tie Affair, 3Oh!3, Pitbull and of course Jesse McCartney who i am now inlove with, as pathetic and thirteen year old girl-ish that is. here are some pictures from K-Fest of amber and i, of course none of the actual concert

so work has been good as well, i have started working 9:30-5 everyday, with sundays off (laundry day) we have been pretty busy and are trying to pick up some new companies as well as open a cafe in the front of the house, selling local and mostly organic products. here are some pictures of what i have recently worked on. very summery :)

i also recieved an email from my boss from co-op informing me that the cake i designed and made for my final project was being featured on another website, brides.com !

http://www.brides.com/package/summer_weddings/cakes/slide/194961

it is in the slide show on the top of the page, the peach-ish one with the sillohette

so thats it for now, i should probably go work on thoes screen shots :)

*edit*

so thoes are my menusthis would be my floor plan that took me FOREVER to figure out how to designexteriorseatingthe barthe bathroomand these are my uniforms but for whatever reason did not show up in color when scanned so the chef coat is an eggplant color with celery piping and the server uniforms are celery and eggplant shirts, black pants and shoes.

hope everyone has a great week!

love tiny baker

happy mothers day

happy mothers day to all you mommies! hope you all do something special today!

i wish i could be with my mommmy today :( i owe you big time!!

so classes are coming to an end- which is weird because i feel like just last week i was posting about classes starting. So as a few of you know i SHOULD be getting my associates at the end of may, but unfortunatly i will not be- i have one tiny little requirement left- community service - which is kind of bologna that i dont have it- i have done plenty of community service through the sorority and with my chefs, but apparently that doesnt count. so i will be completeing that in the fall (i could do it in the summer but then i would have to pay for the trimester just to do community service) and i will be on my way to food service management. i have signed up for all of my classes i will be taking Accounting, Psychology, English and Food Service Management. i am taking night classes so i can work during the day.

this week was jeremiahs prom. he was so cute! i enjoyed watching him get ready and watching his girlfriend struggle to pin his bouteneer on him without drawing blood. he looked very spiffy as did meg, his girlfreind. and i got to see mommy which i was really looking forward to!

i also helped amanda my roomate with a cupcake party yesterday. her 5th grade teacher has something like 11 sisters. so once a month they all get together and have a "yaya sisterhood" each month a different sister hosts a fun event for all of them so this month her teacher asked us to teach all of them how to decorate cupcakes. we picked 6 designs and demonstrated and helped them each make them.

i also found some pictures from class

and for everyone who didnt know- i have been living off campus this year in an apartment with 3 other roomates. i will be staying here all by myself this summer because all of my roomates are moving out- eek. here are some pix of my room.

april showers better bring lots of may flowers

sorry i have not updated! i have been very busy!

since my last post i have started two school projects and had greek week, had car troubles, and been miserable from the vast amount of rain lately.

april is probably one of the most depressing, but for some reason the busiest months of the year. here in providence it rained ( and snowed a little ) probably 90% of the month up until this weekend. GROSS however this weekend it was sunny and got up to 90 degrees yesterday! i even went to the beach! it was gorgeous.

during the month of rain i have proceeded to get a flat tire ( while it was pouring ) , find out i need all new tires and brakes and gas is going up- having a car is not all i thought it was gonna be!

i have also started a few school projects- one of which i am actually REALLY enjoying. i have to create a bakery from top to bottom. from uniforms and atmosphere to clientel and costing out your menu. well since i already know what i want to open in the future, i am basing my project around my actual vision. it is coming along awesome. i will post some pieces when it is finished. I have also started speeches in communications, while i have gotten over an 80 on all the speeches, i HATE the class! ugh.

Last week was greek week. we had events like greek olympics, talent show and greek banquet. at the greek banquet i was awarded with an acedemic achievement award for being on the deans list!

mommy also came to providence since my last post. it was so nice to have family around for a weekend! tri sig held a mother/daughter weekend, nothing big just, brunch and some fun activities. and she got to learn about the sorority and put faces to names.

thats all for now, off to enjoy the warm nights while they last!

relay and princess

this previous weekend was hectic to say the least!

this weekend was relay for life and providence princess.

alot of people have asked what i do with my sorority- and alot of people have the wrong idea, thinking that its all about the frat boys and parties. well this weekend was definitely not about that!

relay for life- mostly everyone knows what it is, to raise money for cancer by walking for 12 hours. the event was held in the JWU gym from 6pm friday to 6am saturday. we had 60 teams ( i was on the tri sigma jwu team ), 493 participants ( 30+ were sigmas ), and raised over $32,000! we exceeded all of the goals!

after relay we had another function called providence princess, a community service project with providence teachers union to help high school girls go to their prom despite financial hardship. it was really successful and we outfitted over 170 girls this year!

and after all that i also had work, needless to say i went to bed at 9pm on saturday and slept until about 1pm!

a few of us tried on a dress for shits and giggles ;)

cake i made for initiation ( with ambers help lol )

ok so i am addicted... like unhealthy obsessed status.

i have a problem.

i have, as below stated, read all the twilight books, well i ave been thinking about them nonstop since then. like seriously i sit at work, class, driving... whatever just daydreaming. so i finally broke down and decided i would read the partial draft of the fifth unfinished book

BIG mistake- now its worse. now i am going crazy. if she does not finish that book i will probably need to be admitted.

anyone who has read twilight- i know u understand, if you havent- then what the hell are u waiting for?
