ambitious desires

[sugarbritches]

hi. so i entered myself in my first competion and i am due to have a complete sugar and chocolate centerpeice as of monday. mind you i am a pastry chef but havent done pulled sugar since school, many years ago, and so here i am finding comfort in everyones worries and ambitions. the good news is that ive been practicing ever night and ive been blowing 7 in. sugar spheres that are pretty awesome considering i thought i was gonna bomb this compition due to inexperience, and i guess i still might, but i dont have anything to lose.

Hi Sugarbritches! Welcome to ChafTalk. Tell us about the competition, if you would. Are you alone or in a team? What are the guidelines?

the competition is a combination of half pastillage, pulled and blown sugar, and half chocolate work. the theme is world travel. thats the requirements. i am working alone. very stressed out about it! mind you i say that with a smile because i think most people in this industry, as i do, work their best under pressure.
