I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. You know how it goes, summer hits and so do vacations, extra long work hours, etc. I also started a new blog that everyone should check out, and I've been working on that too. It's called Eat Healthy, Stay Fit, Die Anyway. (Stayfitdieanyway.blogspot.com.) Check it out and let me know what you think!
Anywho, I'm here now, and I have exciting news! I have gotten a new job at a local bakery!!! It's called Some Crust and I LOVE IT! I'm working in the front store for now, but I'm working my way back into the actual bakery and hopefully cake decorator! That being said I wanted to show you something I did recently.
When I submitted my resume at the bakery I also included some pictures of previous work I had done. However, I didn't have anything to show that I could do piping work. (That's the intricate little scrolls and writing you see on cakes) So what did I do? I made something to show them of course!
I copied the design from a photo I found on Google but the rest is all me baby! I don't have a proper piping bag but, (I'm kind of a perfectionist, so this is not as good as I would like) I made due. It is a devil's food chocolate cake with raspberry ganache layers in between. Then milk chocolate frosting and buttercream details. MMmmm!
I took the cake with me to church for our father's day picnic and everyone was wowed! They couldn't believe I did it and they couldn't stop ooing and aaing about how good it was. Thanks guys!
I'll keep you all updated on how things are going at the bakery, but in the mean time if you're in the area you should stop by! It's Some Crust Bakery in Claremont, CA. It's SO cute and SUPER delicious. Hey, maybe I'll have to post something about the bakery and their goods. Stay tuned!
