I have recently started working, on average, 30 hours a week at Heitzman Traditional Bakery. Last Sunday, the cake decorator was not there, and someone called in to say that they didn't like the cake that she had made and that they wanted a new one. They needed a cat-shaped groom's cake for a wedding that was in four hours. So I just told my boss that I could do it. He just told me to go for it and gave me no instructions. But I did it in about an hour, after having lots of trouble finding all of the cake decorator's tools and things. When a man came in to pick the cake up, he sent a picture of it to the bride and she said it was perfect! I was so excited. That was the first cake I had made there besides just flat icing and piping rosettes and it was a four layer, shaped, $80 cake! I'm so glad I got the opportunity. I feel so confident in my abilities through all that Sullivan has taught me. Making cakes simply requires that you tell yourself that you are qualified to do it. I'm so happy that I pursued my dreams:)))
