Baking Novice

This guest post from Rafael Hodge


I didn’t know a thing about baking when I started at the shop but Jenny was so sweet and was really patient with me while I learned. I’ve been here about two years now and while I’m still no Wolfgang Puck I’m getting better every day and I’m even starting to like waking up at like 3 in the morning! The people I work with are just great and Jenny allows me to play to my strengths which really lie in organization. She has me doing all the payroll stuff and the bank card processing and that makes me feel better about what I’m contributing to the bake shop as a whole. I wish I could be as proficient as she is at icing cupcakes or getting cakes to stand straight but I’m just not and I guess I never will be. Baking isn’t in my blood like it is in hers but I tell you one thing, there’s something new in my blood since starting here and I think it’s high cholesterol!
