12/10/2017 0 Comments That's A WrapHello and welcome to my last blog post! This week it is very bittersweet. I am glad that the project is over, but I know I will miss baking every week. This week I didn’t bake anything I just worked on wrapping up my project as well as my presentation.
My project didn’t always go to plan, but overall, I think it was a success. Each week I managed to bake something which I was pretty impressed with. In the beginning, I was worried that I wouldn't have enough time to bake each week, but I always found a way to make it work. Sometimes I had to plan around it, but it I always got it figured out. Plus I donated my products to someone each week. They never went to waste. Many weeks it was a big ordeal about who was going to drive me to take my treats, when we were going to take it, etc. At the start of this project as some of you may recall I made a plan. This plan was a week by week plan that told me what I was going to make and who I was going to donate it to. It was helpful to have that, and I’m glad I decided to make. Although it helped me out I didn’t always stick to it which I expected, but I didn’t expect to stray from it so much. Down below I've included my original plan. There you can see which weeks I kept the same and which weeks I didn't. In the means of success and fails in the kitchen I definitely ran into some bumps along the road. As you may recall the first time I made the red velvet whoopie pies it was a disaster, but the next week I fixed that and everyone loved them. Also over Thanksgiving, I ran into the problem that my dough made way too many cookies, so I had to do some improvising and make them much bigger than they should’ve been. However, in the end, it all worked out. All in all, I had a great time doing this project, and I achieved my goal of donating to people in the community that are not always thanked for the work they do. I am pleased with how it all turned out in the end. Thanks for tuning in each week and reading my blogs! I hope you all have enjoyed!
