After a stressful week, I think that it is safe to say the BPA 3010 is no longer a "walk in the park". Monday was a semi easy transition from the weekend, however by Tuesday, I feel that we all began feeling overwhelmed. Producing a showpiece is very enjoyable. To be able to make, sculpt, bake, and assemble the dough into a showpiece is satisfying. However, the addition of making other products in class, as well as meeting with our groups after class to work on our marketing projects, added a whole new level of stress. 

Over the past week, I have learned that time management is key in the production of a nice showpiece. Without this you will fall behind and not know what step to take to finish the piece. Time flies by in this class, you look at the clock and its 7:00 and the next time you check its almost 11:30. This is why it is necessary to create a plan of what you are going to do in class and the order in which you will complete things. 

I found this video on Chef Hitz's Youtube channel. I find it very insightful and suggest you watch his series of dead dough production videos. 

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy sleeping in!
