for sharing your time, lessons, and knowledge with me last week. My own baking skills grew by leaps and bounds (for example my shaping at the beginning vs. the end of the week) as did my appreciation for the practice after seeing how much hord work goes into it. I am eager to keep moving forward with it.

My family and I have already been enjoying the delicious bits I brought back to Colorado. I'll try doing some of your recipes on my own soon so as to keep them satisfied after we run out.

Good luck to the next interns who will have the opportunity to spend one very satisfying week with Mark at his bakery.

That's a great looking braid!

I wonder if we can find a YouTube video on how to braid like that.  I haven't seen that kind of braid before.

I realized after the first couple strudel braids that having braided hair for years past helped me to better hold the dough and weave the pieces together. Funny how something like that would ever come in handy while baking. . .

Mark, maybe your next video project can be a braiding tutorial like your shaping ones.
