This week started off great with two days in the bakery! It was so much fun. We had an early start at six and for the bulk of the day helped make bread and form it. I have never really worked with bread before so it was a lot of fun learning the process and how to properly knead it, it's a lot more difficult then looked. We also got to make some other desserts like brownies and bread pudding. We also learned how to properly use the machines in the bakery which can be very dangerous. The machines there can be very large and need to take proper precautions when using them. The ovens were very large too, I was interested in those because I had never seen a walk in oven before. The next day was even better because we got to see a cake demonstration/promotion and got to try them all as well :) We even got to make and decorate our own cakes. I now have confidence that I could go home and decorate some for family or friends. The cake promotion was awesome to watch, with about 6 different cake batters and 4 brownie mixes to choose from. It made me think about how to switch providers within companies and how the whole process takes place. I really enjoy baking and this just gave me a view to seeing what working in a bakery is really like. The whole time while we were there we were munching on bread, muffins and sweets (no problem with me :) )
This week we also did some computer work with the computer manager which was a little hectic and confusing. Its harder for me to grasp the technological side of it all but it was very informative. This weekend is the 4th of July and we are all really excited for fireworks/cookouts/lakes.
