Although, I don't plan on opening a restaurant, I would love to just go through the other culinary program (if it wasn't so dang expensive) and just learn as much as I can. But you are right about the difference between cooking and baking, but the part where you can make improv decisions are in the decorating aspect--lots of creativity there. :) <br /><br />I'd love to know if you decide to pursue the pastry program. :)<br /><br />Megan: I should have guessed that would be your inspiration--you're blog is definitely one that inspires me! :)Jill @ Jillicious Discoverieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048655342233149007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580403633674593743.post-57353818853945744592009-11-07T03:29:46.031-08:002009-11-07T03:29:46.031-08:00I am most definitely inspired by art!!

But, then I see your work and I know I must, just must, learn how to do that!<br /><br />Nothing is ever simple.

Because it's so humid in Oregon, sugar showpieces don't do well here.<br /><br />Jenny: It's a picture I took when I was in school--it's long gone now! It would have never made it to Oregon in one piece. :)<br /><br />Lauren: Thanks! I know what you mean by a feeling--I work like that too. :)Jill @ Jillicious Discoverieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048655342233149007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580403633674593743.post-86403798171268120892009-11-03T15:49:26.202-08:002009-11-03T15:49:26.202-08:00Gorgeous show piece!

How I wish I could go back to culinary school too!! *sigh* So, in the mean time, I look for inspiration through books/magazines and blogs A LOT.
