As of next Tuesday, I begin my new job as the head baker for a small cafe and catering company.
Currently, the head cook has been handling a few of the pastries and bringing the rest in frozen. My job will be to create new desserts and grab-n-go goods to be baked in-house, as well as to handle all baking requests for the catering side. In fact, I'm snacking on a pumpkin cheesecake that has to go in for sampling later on today. It's damn good, but I may have to cut back on the cream cheese amount to bring the cost down. That's not difficult as there is about 2.5 lbs. of cream cheese in each cake, which is high for most recipes anyway... but that's what makes it so freakin' good! I've almost forgotten all of my cost control training for lack of use, but that's changing now. Time to get my books out and start studying.

I'd like to see about moving my old snarkygurl blog here later on, but for now I'll just this to keep my family and friends updated on what's going on in my life.
