Welcome to Spring!

Hey! I hope everyone is enjoying these blog posts and learning more about the wonderful opportunities here at Sullivan. First off, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Carrie Scheiber and this is my 3rd Quarter here at Sullivan, but my first quarter as a new Student Ambassador. I am currently working on my Professional Baker's Diploma, while also pursuing an Associate's in Business Management. My dream is to someday own my own bakery in a small town setting. I love small towns, especially since I'm from one! My hometown is named Kendallville and it is in Northern Indiana, about 4.5 hours from Louisville. It's about 30 minutes from Ft. Wayne, if you've ever heard of that. :)
    After only being here for about 7 months, I've already learned so many things! In my first Baking Lab, I truly enjoyed making such a variety of baked products. You name the dessert, and we probably made some form of it. I think my favorite week was plated dessert week because it included molten chocolate lava cake, creme brulee, and bananas foster (just to name a few.) Currently, I am in Baking 2 which focuses primarily on breads and the artisan process. All of the chefs that I've had in class have been so knowledgeable and helpful in showing me all aspects of a baking career. I've also gotten better at working with other people because of how teamwork based our lab classes are. I would definitely encourage anyone who has a passion for food to check out Sullivan University!

Delicious, gooey Molten Chocolate Lava Cake with macerated berries.

Super cute (and tasty) layered carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

    Besides going to school, the city of Louisville also has a lot to offer. I've enjoyed playing tennis at Seneca Park, walking along the Ohio River at Waterfront Park, visiting the Slugger Museum, enjoying the tasting food and unique setting at Lynn's Paradise Cafe, and much more. There really is a lot to see and do if you just explore it.
    I hope that you've enjoyed reading about me, and I would LOVE to get to know you. If you have any questions or would just like to chat, feel free to contact me either via this blog or on one of the Sullivan Facebook pages. Hope you all are having a great week!
