OOOH I just checked out the website for the woman you are interviewing with! She's awesome!
Maybe you could work for her while you were in school? It would be awesome to learn from someone like her too!
Michelle
I know!! I am really excited. I meet with her tomorrow. I already sent her a resume and she said my credentials are very impressive and when can i come in to interview! Sounds promising!!
The only issue I am having right now is she is going to need me mostly weekends and I work 3 weekends a month. I am going to do everything I can to work it out though.
Did you see the peacock cake? Isnt it awesome?
I know! She's done some amazing stuff. It sounds like you can find a way to make it work. If your car dealership people want you to stay with them, they will have to understand. Cars are nice...but cake is better
haha if I told them that they would say dont let the door hit you in the ass!. There is always another person happy to take your spot. In this business it's either work when I say how I say or we will find someone who wants it more. :-/
Whichever way you decide to go, Ashley - I wish you all the very best in the world. I can't disagree with anything that anyone has said on this forum (fat lot of good that does for your dilemma!!). Wysmommy is right - education can't be beaten and you have a terrific opportunity! If you can do both - the school and Sweet Gems - you really will have the best of both worlds. Don't focus too much on the finances at this point, maybe take a leave of absence from the car place, if that's an option - you really don't want to risk burnout and total collapse (Sorry, that's the mother in me coming out!) I can only repeat, you are young, you have plenty of time, follow your dream while you have this amazing opportunity. Good luck, God bless and let us know what happens!
Well I have my interview today and I have to say I am really nervous!!
What should I wear?!
I just wasnt sure if I should dress casual or in a suit.
I got the job!!!!!
I worked my first day yesterday. I didnt get to do too much hands on but I did get to paint a lot of this great wedding cake and cut out fondant flowers. It was soooo much fun. I wish I was there again today, but I have to work my regular job.
Hugs and Kisses - Lots of screaming and jumping about!!! 
I am SOOO happy for you - I knew you could do it! (That's the mother in me coming out, too.!)
(Of course, I will now try very hard to keep the jealousy under control)
Keep us posted with your progress! Well done 
yesterday was soo fun. We made a 4 tier wedding cake. I mostly watched but I got to paint a lot of it wih the luster dust! I cant wait to go back!!
I've searched for other trade schools, but in my arean its pretty much AI or LCB both are expensive. What do you think of a community college?
While going to LCB I was going to work. Hopefully at the dealership and try to pay at least 10-11k while in school.
it would be great to have that money for my business..
i am at lcb / csca right now about to graduate in 9 weeks you made a great choice i love school and i hope you will to!!! is your nso in aug ?
I am so glad to hear that you are happy with the school. Its such a big decision!
What is an NSO?
I start November 11th
I am so glad to hear that you are happy with the school. Its such a big decision!
What is an NSO?
I start November 11th
sorry nso is new student orientation
thats funny i walk on nov. 10 yes it is a big decision and its one i have never recreated!!! two years ago friends would tell me to go to school to be a chef and i laughed at them but as so as i went to tour the campus i knew that was the place for me! just a little word of advice seeing as you are pastry chances are you will never be on main campus so go check out the other campus and DONT pay for parking you will NEVER USE IT
other campus? She didnt show me another campus. I am taking the full culinary program not just the pastry. Did you do just the pastry course?
oh i just took the pastry program yes there are three all together ya they did tell me that till i was at nso!!!! keep your eye out for our very attractive vice president of student council
I am soooo excited. how were the class sizes?
the first day there was about 45 i think we are at about 30 if people drop like crazy i have seen culinary class that are about 20
thats really the only thing i am concerned about. I think they should be more selective on the people they take and cut the class size.
yes they should we have a girl in our class that should not be she cant keep up but because she has money she keeps passing!!! there are a lot of young kids in the class who i dont think take it to seriously but what can you do!!!! my big pet peeve is drop offs they just on get the hint i am not there mom but you'll see all this soon
here is the wedding cake I helped with. Grace did like 99% of the work but I helped with the painting.
Wedding Cake By Grace at Sweet-Gems Huntington Beach CA
Ashley - that is EXQUISITE! 
You will obviously learn a great deal from this job - you are one LUCKY young lady to have an opportunity like thus (Whoops - sorry - that came out a little wrong! 
You are also extremely TALENTED to have earned a job like this!)
well i dont think talent had anything to do with getting the job. I just went for it. I am very motivated and I think people can see and respect that. Hopefully after this job I will be talented haha!
I just cant wait until I get to do more things. On this cake my contribution was limited. I helped with some of the painting but mostly moral support hehe. As time goes on and she teaches me more and I get proficient I will be able to do more stuff with her and one my own.
