I have been busy with so much stuff that I haven't been keeping up on here. So, in the past week I completed my paper and made a cake. Our church was having a dinner for a particular family who was leaving and my mentor and I made a simple cake to take to them. We made the cake Saturday evening and took it church on sunday morning. It was a two layer cake with chocolate icing, nothing fancy just simple.

I havent had much time to spend with her, she has finished two cakes that I did not get to help her on and they were wonderful. She made a piano cake and a small wedding cake. We are trying to find a time make a sample cake of what I could use for my final product. We will probably get together this weekend to work on another project.

Today I worked on scanning my papers so that I could post them on my web site but for some reason you cant read them. I dont know what we did wrong but it didnt work out to well. I was really looking forward to getting them posted so that other people could read them and see what I was planning on doing. The papers include my letter of intent, my interview with my mentor, and all the permission forms that had to be filled out.

Hopefully by tomorrow we will get it figured out and my papers will be posted to my website!
:)

Also I have turned my research paper into my advisor and she has reviewed it and made some suggestions as to what would make it better. I will be working on it tonight and hopefully turning another copy into her tomorrow. After that I should be almost finished and will be able to turn it in to my teacher.
I cant wait until I have finished it completely so that I have the assurance that I am done.

I have completed over half of my research paper and have been spending some time with my mentor watching her bake cakes. She hasnt had any wedding cakes lately but she had done plenty of birthday cakes. Even though the decorations are not as elaborate, its good for me to watch the way everything is prepared.

So far with writing the paper I have read through a lot of recipes and seen the different ways to make icing. There are lots of different recipes so I guess that most people make theirs just off of what they like best.

I will keep working hard to learn more!
