Monday 1/25

Today I started my project by baking chiffon cake. With the help of my mentor (Donna) going through the steps and supervising the cake was a success. it turned out just the way it was supposed to, unlike other times when I made cakes on my own.I also made a flower out of gum paste to decorate the cake with.

1) Describe your direct collaboration with others—how does it go & how does it influence the work?
Almost everything we do in Sweet Cheeks is a collaboration. First, Elaine (the organizer) types out the invoices listing everything that the customer expects. Then, Donna, Misty, and Christa bake the cakes and store them for later use. Then the cakes are passed on to Charity who fills and decorates them. Finally, the cake is packed up and delivered to the customer by Elaine.

Describe your indirect impact on others through your work—there are probably many people you never actually see who are affected by your work. How does this happen? How does this influence your work?
As for myself, I help by preparing and cleaning up the large messes which makes it easier for everyone to get things done. Some specific tasks are: making plaques, preparing molds for cheescakes, making decorations, wrapping & storing food, washing dishes, mopping, making display boards, and much more.
