where life has taken me...and the baking continues..!

So it has been a long time. But perhaps this summer I will find time to update this more often and better. Where has life taken me? I'm no longer a cashier...at the end of September, I hopped on a plane and it decided to take me to Sweden. I ended up at Holsby Torchbearers Bible School from September til the end of May. It's been really good, and just an overall interesting and challenging time here. I've learned a lot in so many areas of life. One thing I have missed the most though, is definitely the fact that I've lived in dorm and I haven't been able to just bake whatever I want whenever I want. I've been lucky in that I've still gotten to bake some, but it's  never like it was at home of course in my own house and own kitchen... But somewhere along the lines (around the end of March) I made the decision to stay here and work in the kitchen for the summer. (In the summer they have many summer camps and things like that.) School ended at the end of May, I went and traveled for 18 days with my sister, and now here I am, back at Holsby, ready for a summer of working in the kitchen!

Today was my first day of being a Holsby kitchen girl. :) I definitely was a little freaked out before I got to the kitchen to start....I've never been responsible for cooking or baking for so many people in such a setting before, ahhh! But it all went quite well! Pancake day....and then preparing for the huge Midsummer's event tomorrow. So this means my day was spent baking Kanel Bullar and Shortbread cookies.

Ta ta for now....I'll update more with some of the other lovely things I've baked while at school. Including some German cake...and introducing all my German friends to some very strictly North American cakes!
