What a day!

Today was my first day with the new bakery.. and what a day it has been!  I had a great first day at work, such a great day that I am officially pooped lol.

Today I spent majority of my morning figuring out a system of how I will write down what supplies I need from my baker.  Also a basic order guide for myself as to how a cake will be built per layer.  I re-organized the confirmed cake folder into a three ring binder that is separated into three sections, Cake Due This Week, Confirmed Orders, and Unconfirmed Orders.  

I still have many things to change, organize, and clean in my station.. I imagine that I will be doing these changes all week long.

So I didn't really produce much product today, I made about 40-2 count cupcake packages today and two 6" inch cakes.

The cupcakes varied in flavor and they were as basic as they come..  White cupcakes with white/chocolate icing, Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate/white/german icing.  All the cupcakes were hand decorated with no sprinkles, haha imagine that.

The two cakes that I decorated were 6" yellow and chocolate cake, the yellow cake remained basic with white buttercream and triple filled.  The chocolate cake was triple filled with two layers of chocolate ganache and one layer of raspberry preserves, finished with a chocolate buttercream icing and melted ganache pour.  The white cake was decorated like a mini wedding cake with a three dot pattern, small lace on top, and a basic dot border.

Tomorrow is icing day back at the bakery and i'm really excited to learn a new recipe for buttercream.  I'll be learning the basic buttercream as well as Italian buttercream, Cream cheese, German, and Chocolate Ganache.  

I know I didn't take any pictures today... but keep an eye out for them, I promise i'll take some starting tomorrow!

Have a great week and i'll see you thursday!
