I have finally completed my pastry chef course and officially qualified. I really embraced the last hurdles/challenges to completing the course: sugar work and pastillage. Handling hot sugar was not as hard as the perception of making something out of it. I felt so proud putting my showpiece. It turned out to be exactly as my sketch. This showed me the power of intention and conception. This was stressful to put up (there were some issues-my wave stand broke- nothing that couldn't be fixed), but all worth the effort.
I can't believe 1.5 years went by so fast. It's been an enjoyable journey of discovery, meeting new people, making new friends, embracing challenges and trying aka tasting amazing cakes.
