Retaking Baking & Pastry Class at Le Cordon Bleu —> Approved

In case anyone on the internet cares, all dreams of graduating with honors have now become reality for this culinary student. Le Cordon Bleu approved retaking Baking & Pastry while also completing my externship at a secret restaurant in Lake Highlands. This is a big deal! Making a measly B the first time around has caused a massive amount of GPA drama to occur. Retaking Baking &...

Working Out to Fit Into Chef Pants
