November 16, 2010.
Remember that super fun final exam we had a few weeks ago where we got to experience the wonderful privilege of piping for an entire class period? We got to do that again! This time it was a little bit easier because we were pretty much just tracing pictures, and we didn’t have a time limit. Well… we sort of did have a time limit.
I was under the impression that we would be given enough time in class to complete this project. Unfortunately, that assumption was the furthest possible thing from correct. It was incorrect.
Apparently, we’re all going to have to pipe most of our ornaments for our centerpieces at home. Then we get to attempt the simple and enjoyable task of transporting our extremely delicate ornaments from our houses to class next Tuesday morning.
Today I almost finished six of my large ornaments. I started off just outlining all of the ornaments so they could dry thoroughly before I filled in the colors, but Chef Gronert told me that I had to fill them before class was over since I couldn’t take the outlines home and fill them there. So I stopped outlining and started filling. I finished just in time, so I was excited that I wouldn’t have to come by later in the week to fill them. Then Chef Gronert told me I needed to fill in all the empty spaces with white, which means I’ll have to come back in sometime before next Tuesday to do it. Well, if I had just done all of my outlines today and hadn’t bothered with the colors yet, then I could have just come in on Friday and done all the colors. That way it would be much easier and actually possible to match all the colors, and I would only have to pipe my small ornaments at home. If he would just let me do things my way...
