New city, new job!

I (finally) moved to Seattle at the end of June and started working for Blue Ribbon Cooking as their pastry chef, mainly their wedding cake maker. I have thoroughly enjoyed working here thus far! I am learning so much about the industry, not just about pastry work, but about being a part of a real catering company and what all happens behind the scenes. Believe me, you never really realize how much work goes into one wedding until you are the one working behind the scenes. I'm kind of becoming a jack of all trades at Blue Ribbon, I started out making the wedding cakes, I have now progressed to server, bartender, and now prep chef? Wait a minute... As the owner of Blue Ribbon told me, once you've been working here long enough, you learn to do a little bit of everything because you will be put to work, especially during the busy weekends like this weekend. There are 9 weddings this weekend...guess who's making all of the cakes for those weddings? Yours truly. Oh and I'm also bartending 2 nights in a row...Wish me luck!

Here are some pictures of cakes that I've made since I started working at Blue Ribbon!
