Mashed Potatoes

For my Baking and Pastry mid-terms, I have to pipe buttercream icing in a few different ways. Buttercream is really greasy and when you need to wash the piping bag and tips, it gets a bit annoying. One tip a few chefs have told me is to use instant mashed potatoes. So I did. Once the potatoes cooled off (and no butter or milk involved, by the way...), it piped brilliantly!!! I couldn't believe it. And it washed off everything really easily.

Booking for November?

After being at the Serenbe Event last month, I knew I had to get booked for this one. Oh my gosh.. I cannot wait. And maybe I can get a scholarship through them, too! Application, here I come!

Georgia Organics

I just became a member of this great organization. Georgia Organics supports a unique mission to bring farmers and consumers together in support of healthy food, farms, and families throughout the state. I'm very excited about this and the opportunities to volunteer in the community. http://www.georgiaorganics.org/
