Week 2: FAST FOOD FRIDAY!!

Friday May 13, 2011

The greatest thing about Friday is FAST FOOD FRIDAY! It's the one day during the week where everyone at the bakery orders fast food for lunch. It also means that because it is the end of the week, things slow down a little bit. It also is one of the days of the week where Sandy and Laurie work on decorating cakes, which means that Eileen and I are in Diane's very capable hands.

For the first part of the day, Eileen ad I worked on stocking cookies and cupcakes in the bakery coolers. We baked oatmeal raisin cookies and stocked them. One important aspect of stocking the coolers is to write in the blue inventory book. We also helped Diane put out cupcakes. Create A Cake has every type of cupcake possible. They have banana, pistachio, red velvet, white, yellow, raspberry, lemon, raspberry-lemon swirl, strawberry, and chocolate cupcakes. Usually they are covered with butter cream icing, but sometimes German chocolate is used. Some of them are even filled with raspberry, cream, lemon, and Cassata. Having tried three of the filled cupcakes, I know that they are delicious.

After our Subway lunch, Eileen and I dusted all the shelves in the back area of the bakery. All of these shelves have merchandise to sell to independent bakers. After dusting, we cut down cardboard boxes and put them in the storage room. Before long, the day was over and it was time to go home.
