I found a blog that has to do with cakes at Disneyland and shows some of the fondant work that the decorators are doing at Disneyland's Central Bakery. You can go to it Here. Some of the stuff is awesome and I got a couple neat ideas for the flames that I make on my own cakes. One of the others is some strange Nintendo Wii cake that is almost cute but not quite. Maybe it looks better in person. The blog gives me hope that there is a place for me in this kitchen. :)
Today I did not fix my resume as I proclaimed on this blog yesterday but I will definitely do it before the weekend is out. I'm currently learning how to balance school, work, boyfriend time and my pastry life all at once. It's good practice for when I have to balance life and a business for real.
Now that I am in these culinary business classes, I'm feeling sort of intimidated by the business. It's incredibly thrilling to finally know how to cost out my items for maximum profit, but it also makes the whole process seem daunting. Even though the product will be fun and inventive, it's still a food-based business and 98% of them fail in the first year. Now I understand why. It seems sooo scary!

There is a bakery in Cambria that was taken over by a Latina.
ReplyDeleteThe business was dying and customer service was bad as well as their pastries.
Pero, she took over and its booming! She brought it back from the potentially dead, makes far better pastries y pan dulce!
Hopefully, this gives some insight my friend. She's no taller than you and I and she is a spitfire owner in a small town.
So yay you! You can and will be successful!
