EC&I 831 – Major Learning Project Summary

Again, wow! I can’t believe we are already at the end of this course, and thus the end of my major project. It has been a very busy semester filled with dough and icing. My fiancĂ© has appreciated all the baking popping up every weekend, but I am not sure if my waistline agrees withContinue reading “EC&I 831 – Major Learning Project Summary”

Major Learning Project – Week 9

The time has finally come – my last week of cookie decorating (for this class anyways). This week I decided to try and tie everything together and create a variety of Christmas cookies with the royal icing. I knew right away that I wanted to do a candy cane and a Christmas tree. I thoughtContinue reading “Major Learning Project – Week 9”

Major Learning Project – Week 7/8

It is officially the Christmas season! Well, for me anyways. I like to start early. Since our class is almost complete, I decided that I wanted the last two activities of my major learning project to be related to Christmas cookies. For this (two) week’s challenge I decided to try my hand at a 3DContinue reading “Major Learning Project – Week 7/8”

Well… better late than never! Last weekend, I attempted a new type of cookie decorating. Right after I made these beauties, I came down with flu. This weekend, I finally feel energized enough to blog about them, but I will not be making a new set. Hence the 3/4 combined post. Let’s begin!

Major Learning Project – Week 2

Before I begin, I would like to mention that I will be using a lot of the same decorating related terminology in each post. When a new term arises, I will do my best to explain it, or add a link. If you are just joining my journey now, feel free to check out thisContinue reading “Major Learning Project – Week 2”

Major Learning Project – Introduction

For as long as I can remember, I always enjoyed spending time in the kitchen with my mom baking. As I got older, I began to bake more and more by myself. Once I moved out on my own, I continued to bake often, using it as a tool to destress. My fiancĂ© will sayContinue reading “Major Learning Project – Introduction”
