Mid-Terms Already????

Where did this quarter go?  It feels like we have been in school for the Spring 2014 quarter just a couple of weeks, let alone five!  When I think about it being mid-terms already I think about different study tips and techniques for my fellow students.  Some study techniques that help me out the most are index cards, matching terms to definitions, making a practice test, but that doesn't mean that those are the only study techniques.  When you start to study you need to select the type of studying that works best for you, but you might want to try some different studying styles, you don't have to stick to the same studying forever, some techniques may work better depending on the subject you're studying.  I hope everyone has a great and successful mid-terms week, we'll all get through it.

Spring time!

Ok so the springtime, an absolutely glorious time of  the year when the world starts to look alive again! I really hate the winter when there is nothing to do but try to keep warm inside. As a summer baby, I would rather bathing the heat than in snow!

Louisville is beginning to hop with activity, including the soon to reopen Kentucky Kingdom Park! You know that big Ferris wheel and rollar coaster you saw coming to Louisville and you got excited then learned it wasn't open? Yeah I had that big moment of disappointment too, but now it is scheduled to be open soon!
Also coming up is the Kentucky Derby! The whole city began its Derby celebration a few weeks ago with Thunder over Louisville and now a week from today a new horse will claim it's fame. Last years winning horse's name was Orb. So next week will be crazy busy all over and traffic will also increase, so be carful on the roads as you travel.
Personally the warm weather means car shows start popping up and small festivals all over the city. I always enjoy a car show and if you have never gone to a good one you should try it!

Here is a link to Louisville's website where you can get more information on activities you can't wait for this season! Have fun!

Presentation

Presentation is about everything, from looks, to height. Garde Manger teaches you so much about making the food look good, all the while making is taste good too. I have learned so much about presenting a plate to your customer. There are so many rules to plating I never knew !!

Almost Midterms!

It is week 4 here at Sullivan University and you know what that means! Midterms are next week! Half way through this quarter! A lot of high school Seniors will be joining us this summer as we continue our education! My other classes are Ethics and North American Geography. Those classes are SUPER easy for me.
   I continue to make cakes for my close family and friends! I love making cakes and other pastries. I am so glad that I know I can always ask my former Chef's for help! The other day I had a few questions about making my own Italian Crème Cake recipe and Chef Woolum's was a GREAT help! I am friends with him on Facebook and he was so glad to be able to help me. I couldn't ask for a better group of chef instructors. They are always there to help, even after we have graduated.

A Possible New Job

I've been looking for a job at a bakery around Louisville for a while now. There are 12 of them around here, and I have looked into three so far. The first one was called Cake Flour, and although they at first told me they were hiring, they were in the middle of moving to a new location, and by the time they got there they realized they didn't have enough room for anyone else in their kitchen. I then was recommended to Blue Dog Bakery by one of my chef instructors, but upon visiting, I realized that they were only looking for full-time workers and my school hours conflicted with their hours. Finally, I came upon Heitzman Traditional Bakery which has been around for 123 years and is family owned. The manager talked to me for a long time about my inspiration for baking and decorating and my dreams of designing and creating wedding cakes. The training had to be pushed off until after Easter, but I finally get to start tomorrow! I'm so excited and nervous, yet overall just greatful for this amazing opportunity. It's hard to get into these bakeries since there aren't too many and there are lots of pastry majors from Sullivan looking for jobs. Plus, bakeries don't hire that many people and have some interesting hours that make it hard to work around going to school. So thank goodness I found this place and the manager liked me!

New Ambassador!

Hey guys!


My name is Lauren Steele!  I am a new student ambassador this spring quarter 2014.  So I thought I would start off by giving a little introduction.


I am a third quarter, Culinary Arts major, here at Sullivan.  I have lived at the resident hall, Gardiner Point, all three quarters.  I am originally from Hudsonville, Michigan.  I am a whole 360 miles from home (that's over 7 hours by car)!  I found out about Sullivan through a ProStart competition I was in my junior year of high school.  I attended their 2012 Summer Culinary Camp, and was hooked ever since.  I was accepted later that year, and now here I am! 


I am over half way into getting my degree and couldn't be more excited to move on and fall in love with my career.  I will graduate around March of 2015! 


That's all for now, if you have any questions feel free to comment!  I'll be happy to answer!
