Sometimes in life, you don’t know the answer but you do know that staying where you are isn’t fixing the problem. By now, if you’ve kept up with my other blog posts you know I am a dreamer. I set big goals, have high expectations, and reach for the stars in everything I do. IContinue reading “Detours”

The Transformation
I’ve gotten this question a lot over the last couple of weeks: where are you located? So I thought I’d share a few tidbits of info about The Boardwalk Baker! I am located in Reidsville and while I do not have a store front, the Boardwalk Baker operates out of a fully certified commercial kitchen.Continue reading “The Transformation”
True To You
I haven’t updated you all in a while, but it’s been a quiet and wild ride. The past few post school months have been hard, I’m not even going to sugar coat it. There’s been a lot of contemplation, trying to figure out what’s next, what I want my life to look like, where toContinue reading “True To You”
A Piece Of Comfort
I’m still trying to formulate the words for what I’ve experienced over the last week in Mesa, Arizona. Despite the long and tiring days, my experience was filled to the brim with educational moments, motivational sentiments, and an incredible amount of information. Hearing the story of how Jonathan and Amanda came to own Proof BreadContinue reading “A Piece Of Comfort”
The Finale
CWPC Exit Exam has been successfully completed! To say it has been an emotional day would be an understatement. Since August of 2019 I’ve gotten up each day on a mission to be the best I can while I’m in culinary school. I’ve spent my time putting my heart and soul into everything I doContinue reading “The Finale”
Bittersweet Endings
46 weeks. The amount of time, minus what Covid took from us, that I have spent inside these kitchen walls. I’m still not sure if I came to school to learn about baking and pastry arts or to learn about people, but I know I’ve done a lot of both. Tomorrow is a bittersweet day.Continue reading “Bittersweet Endings”
Still Chasing The Dream
This may not be the most glorious picture, but it shows a girl who is, on a rare occasion, proud of herself! This dessert looked no where near this two weeks ago and without the help of chef Blount, it never would have looked like this! I am so incredibly blessed to have the opportunityContinue reading “Still Chasing The Dream”
Ugly Desserts, Pretty Great People
Have you ever had something go so terribly wrong that you started to doubt why you thought you could do it in the first place? Yep, me too. Actually, this past week is a prime example of that. If it hadn’t been for my team and Papa Chef, I probably would’ve thrown in the towel.Continue reading “Ugly Desserts, Pretty Great People”
Oh Snap! That Was A Blast!
The gingerbread house was so much more than a house; this whole process taught me more about myself and why I do what I do. Things you learn when you stay a little longer and get a little more involved: You have the tools you need, sometimes you have to dig deeper to find them.Continue reading “Oh Snap! That Was A Blast!”
Still Hanging On…
I saw this quote and, to be completely honest, it hit me in a whole different way. Here lately I’ve felt like this hanger pictured below. If you look closely it’s cracked, almost all the way to the top, but not quite there yet. It still serves its purpose. One day, I’m going to tryContinue reading “Still Hanging On…”
