The great BIFE bake off ✈️


[Sunday May 8]

Hi my name is Luke Fitzgerald. I'm a baking, barista & pastry, student at Bray Institute of Further Education (BIFE), and I'm about to embark on my journey to Malaga as part of the erasmus + programme. 

I'm going to be working with my classmate Maria in an amazing bakery called Candy's Repostería


[Monday May 9]

We arrived in Malaga at 3pm. Everyone was escorted to their accommodation by the erasmus + team and we were given some time to get ourselves organised and explore the city.


[Tuesday 10 May]

After an induction meeting in the morning we were escorted to our work placement. It's here that Maria and I met the owner of Candy's Repostería who's name is also Maria. After a tour of the workplace we were allowed to head back to the city where we would go on a guided walking tour followed by a meal at the marina 

[Wednesday May 11]

Day one of work experience. Myself and my classmate Maria met at the plaza to make out journey to work. We were provided bus passes as our workplace was 40 minutes away by foot. We worked side by side with the owner to make tres leche (three milk cakes) which is something I have never baked before. These cakes were to be delivered to a restaurant  in the city. We also began prepping other orders for the rest of the week. Before we left we were treated to a unique cheesecake made by the owner Maria.

Cannot believe the amount of shoes I kinda need… 🥺 T-60 hours… negative… better keep packing… next test tomorrow…      My name is Graham, early 40's, Irish. I am the financial controller and IT guy of a wholesale distribution company.  I went straight from leaving cert to applied chemistry in UCG but didn't succeed so ended up as a warehouse operative and just climbed the ranks from there since. During the years I have always pottered around with further education since the job is extremely boring and have done a few evening courses over the years such as the  Anatomy & Physiology in DLCFE, Astronomy with DIAS  Furniture making in BIFE, UCD Access Course, even an Indian Head Massage course. After the UCD Access course, which I did just for fun, I was offered a place in the full time Science Degree course with the intent of perusing an interest in Astrophysics buuutt I turned it down, although I was again eligible for free fees as a mature student with the access course I d

🇪🇸 Romi en Málaga 🇪🇸

08/05/2022   ¡ Hola! Me llamo Romana pero mi nombre es Romi.  That is where my spanish starts and ends, haha! Hi, my name's Romi and I'm going to Malaga in not too long from now! I'm still pretty much in disbelief that is something that is actually happening, like, really? Wow. Now, unfortunately, I am going to let you know a little bit about myself!  (This is a picture of me and my partner's dog!) As I said, my name's Romi, hi! I was studying Legal Administration course in BIFE, but considering I have finished all my exams now, it's officially sort of over?  I like playing video games and I like to do anything that allows me to be creative and free. Basically the opposite of what you'd expect from someone studying law. I'm very anxious and quiet at first, but I'm hopeful this is a great opportunity for me to grow and open up more. Trust me, you do not want a socially awkward and always worrying solicitor. Oh, also, I come from Czech Republic and hav
