December 2013-Week 2

ORGANIZATION SKILLS
This week was not a very effective week. Since it’s almost Christmas break, all the projects, assignments, and exams are piling up. Nevertheless, I managed to get a few things done on the second cake that I have decided to do next- the wedding cake.
COMMUNICATION WITH SUPERVISOR
I haven’t communicated with my supervisor, but will do as soon as I am halfway through my second cake, asking suggestions and the like.
INFORMATION

This week, I decided to move on my second cake-the wedding cake. All of my orders from the US have been delivered and so, I firstly rolled out the fondant. I cut out flower pieces for my fourth tier based on the design, with flower cutters. However, the first problem that I encountered was the consistency of the fondant. It was very, very, wet. The pieces didn’t cut beautifully and I was panicking. I believe this happened as the temperature of the room wasn’t constant, due to the sudden weather changes. I then checked on them two days later, and they were drying out, so I was pretty happy with that. I then covered all my five tiers with white fondant, and going to finish it by next week.
