ORGANIZATION
SKILLS
This week was probably the most effective and productive
week so far. I had the first PP meeting of the year, completed some plan, did
some research, and did some practical work as well.
COMMUNICATION
WITH SUPERVISOR
This week, I had my first PP meeting of the year. It was
really beneficial as we talked briefly through the deadlines and discussed
about the investigation and plan stage very well. This meeting was definitely
helpful to me because my there were some unclear things that were explained to
me very well.
INFORMATION
I completed my timeline, contract, justification of AOI, and
context of the topic this week. These things were the things that I didn’t have
a clear understanding about, and so left half finished. Though however, after
the PP meeting, I was able to complete all of those. I also purchased “Modern
Buttercream Piping” class by Joshua John Russell on Craftsy, and finished
lesson 1- 5 (Introduction, Tools, Making Royal Icing, The Filigree &
Monogram Cake, and Freehand Faberge Cake). Research notes are compiled in the
binder. In addition, I also had another buttercream decoration class with Pak
Tukul at IPS. During this meeting, I practiced how to pipe and transfer roses, string
work, cover a cake, pipe dots, ruffles, and shells. After a few trials, he
finally approved my covered cake and roses, though I still think that it’s not
very good. He also commented on my string work. He said that I was serious at
first and got messy towards the end. And yes, I was tired so the last few string
works weren’t as good as the first ones. He also taught me how to transfer
piped roses to a cake, using scissors and bringing it up while twisting the
cone. Then, push the flower to the cake with the cone. Here are some pictures:
