The start of something new...

Hi. My name is Rachael Pedrick. I'm 19 and I live in the growing town of North Liberty, Iowa.  I've always had an interest in the cooking and baking field. In the fall of 2010, I started my journey by enrolling in the Culinary Arts program at Kirkwood Community College. For about two years now, I've been practicing my baking skills. I've decided that I really enjoy the whole atmosphere of cakes and cake decorating. Yes, I do watch all the shows on tv and I have decided that I want to open my own bakery here in town. I know this is a very large dream, and will be reached quite a few years down the road but for now my small kitchen at home will work just great. I've been asking many family members and friends for their business. My skills and techniques have improved greatly and I really enjoy learning new things. I'm going to use this blog to post my portfolio and hopefully get my name out there.
