Saturday May 21, 2011
Saturday turned out to be a crazy day. It was the day when I learned how to run the cash register. First and foremost, speaking to customers on the phone is not even close to how nerve racking serving a customer is in person. Since Eileen and I arrive at Create A Cake an hour before they open on Saturdays, Sandy showed us how the cash register worked. At first glance it seems relatively easy. All the buttons are marked clearly and the task of ringing up a person seems pretty straight forward, but with the audience of an expectant customer it's a different story. The buttons seem to have been scrambled and every item seems to have a secret code that needs to be punched into the system. Eileen and I were able to each ring up a couple people successfully.
As we work toward making our final cakes, Laurie showed us how to make a different kind of flower. This one didn't really seem to have a name but I called it a passion flower. It is made by using a nail with a huge top on it. Therefore it is called a flat headed nail. I personally felt that I was able to make these flowers better then roses so I decided to do make them for my cake.
