This is what I love...this...this is me....

Spontaneous baking while listening to the Jack Johnson station on Pandora... These are the moments that remind me of why I do what I do, why I'm going to school for Baking and Pastry Arts, and why I love living for God. These past few months have been stressful for me, and I feel like i'm always on edge and always angry with people. Obviously I should have gotten back into my kitchen sooner. A good torte recipe will do wonders. Who needs therapy when you can bake? To me, whenever I get into the kitchen and have fun with whatever i'm making- even if I ruin everything I try to make, none of it is done in vain. Every attempt, every thing I try to do, i'm just fine tuning my skills. Just like when you first start playing an instrument, the sounds that often come from those practices aren't pretty- but if you stick with it, you'll eventually be playing sounds of melody. I am a master baker, pastriteer (YEAH, I did just make that up....I think? haha) but unfortunately not a candlestick maker. I, I am Rebekah freaking Gerdes, and I am incredible...be jealous. haaaaahahaha

Working on finals!

Hey everyone (if there's anybody out there that is actually reading this anyways). I'm working on my final project for my Menu Development class and would appreciate it VERY MUCH if you could take a minute and fill out this survey. Thanks!
