So quite a lot has happened since my last post. I still haven’t heard anything from the letters I sent off last week. However on Saturday I went to a local Bakery to hand an application in, I had an interview there yesterday and I have been offered a two day trial, the only slight negative is the position is for a Baker. There is however, in the next town a position which has just become available to become a Pastry Chef. I took a trip over there today after school to hand my application in so fingers crossed I will hear something from them soon!

In other news, I recently found a blog post about Pretzels on Alicia Spun Sugar which inspired me to have a go myself. I have been living in Germany for nearly 6 months now and have eaten quite a few pretzels (Bretzel) but had not got round to making them. I used a combination of the recipe which is linked in Alicia’s blog post and a traditional recipe I had. I made some traditional pretzels with sea salt and the ones in the picture above which are cinnamon sugar. They were really tasty however I found they were quite hard! I can’t seem to work out what I did wrong so any suggestions would be great!
