During my Intro to Baking class, I was just making a double batch of corn muffins and cleaning up. When all of a sudden, I was asked to carry this 30 lb. cake up the stairs to my collage's dining room. If you had to carry a cake where the chef said that he/she worked on for 20 hours, you get pretty stressed to drop it. Luckily I didn't drop it, but I did had a few close calls.
After I carried the cake up to the dinning room, me and the class set up some of the other deserts for the special Halloween party the collage sets up every year. This years theme was based of the movie "Alice in Wonderland," (the one with Johnny Depp) and it was simply amazing. We had so many deserts and this was the first time I was up in the dinning room working in front-of-house. Everyone was impressed with the deserts and we gave out tons of cake and other goodies. There was also tons of left overs, so I ate some of the rest of the carrot cake (there was one slice left).
After the event, me and the crew went down stairs to get the rest of stuff down to the bakery. From that moment, I have never felt so tired in my cooking career. Which brings me to my next industry secret.
Industry secret: You can expect to be constantly move and standing for hours, so some chefs use special shoes with gel insoles to prevent there feet from tiring out.
So far things have been quite since midterms were past. I finally got 2 classes over with but I still got a long way to go. For now I bid you a-do.
