Last Day of School...

We had a great big party and ate lots of food. We exchanged presents and took lots of pictures. What a blast. Here are a ton of pictures from our fun day.


My freaking out because it was actually my last day of school!!



My favorite chef, Chef Erica, and me.



Me, Steph, & Sarah-Beth



Chef Johnson



Our kitchen is now empty....sadness



Most of my class crammed into the only tiny elevator that goes to our kitchen.



Our entire class, next time I see them... It will be graduation day!



My sugar show piece (that we only had 2 short days to work on).


Today was my very last day of school.....done and done!

Beginning the Johnson Family Christmas

Today Hy brought home the Christmas tree and we had fun decorating it. Lily was totally lost and confused the entire time, so I was forced to make her all glittery from some of the ornaments...Hy was not pleased!

I got.....

1. I got.... a haircut...a big one...



2. I got.... a second degree burn from sugar blowing...



3. I got........a husband who likes to eat my chocolate show pieces...



4. I got.......a naught little puppy who looks so sweet...

Mahhh!

5 days left of school before I am done officially!! ALl that is left is a sugar show piece, that has to be blown, poured, rocked, all that good stuff. Crazy.

That time of year...

We had a gingerbread check off this last couple of days and mine was finished today.

The little school house is gingerbread.The 3 small windows on on the front of the house are poured sugar. The roof is tiled with tempered chocolate shingles. The tree is white and dark modeling chocolate. The swing is marzipan and royal icing. The little lovers are sitting on a gingerbread cut out of a snowflake. They are made of marzipan and fondant. The snowman behind them is made out of pastillage. The walkway is marzipan with lavender buds to look like gravel. The snow is royal icing and powdered sugar with silver luster dust. Wow that is a mouthful.
