This week at work we're celebrating "Pharmacy Week" which is a part of a national celebration of Pharmacists month. It's kind of like Homecoming week in High School where every day you have a different theme and you're supposed to dress up and participate in themed activities. Monday was pajama day (you're all probably thinking like me: who wants to see their co-workers in their pajamas?! that image can NEVER go away!) Wednesday is "tailgate" day, Thursday tropical day and Friday the infamous "70's and 80's day."
There's always a "reject" day - the day that's secretly set aside as the "off day." Think about it: Riverbend does it - it's called the Bessie Smith Strut. Everyone knows it. Every festival/celebration has an off day - Pharmacy Week's just happens to be today: International Day. Yep. International. Tell me what YOU think would be international in Nashville, TN??! Seriously, though. We were supposed to bring food and make our own flags??? I guess we're to create our own "Pharmacy" country?? But seriously I do have a good friend/co-worker who is Puerto Rican and is making fried plantans. I am personally excited about those!
So last night was cake class. I had to make one of 4 cakes from our Wilton book. If you've ever taken the classes, the cake choices are always pretty frilly and girly and probably not appropriate for Pharmacy Week, much less International Day. So my food of choice today might be a bit of a stretch, but hey! At least I brought something which in the world of "bring something for food" means I get to partake in everyone else's creations.
Here's my final cake of my cake classes. That's right: I'm completely finished with all 4 courses totaling 16 weeks in all. This last course was fondant and gum paste which is what the cake is decorated with.
It's VERY springy given my previous post of my love for fall. I guess I could have adapted the design like a girl in my class - she make the daisies in black and the base in orange so it looked like a big spider web. It was actually pretty cool.
Hope you have a Terrific Tuesday!!
