I joined my sons energetic class on a field trip to learn about different professions. I was tickled pink we were to tour a local bakery first!!
After walking by the glass cabinets filled with shelves and shelves of pretty pastries the boys and girls were ushered back into the decorating room to get a finger taste of their icing!
Yum! Then they observed how a baker decorates a cake. Wow! Was she fast! This was my first time in a bakery so it was just a lot of fun to watch what life is like for a baker. I've seen a few episodes of DC Cupcakes and Cake Boss so this was just delightful.
Next, our baker gave us a tour of her kitchen. First up was this incredibly LARGE mixer filled with chocolate cake batter. I have never seen so much cake batter in one bowl.
Mind you this mixer rests on the floor; that's how tall it is!! Then, she took us around to her oven which was the size of a small room with racks inside that rotated like a ferris wheel.

Next up was cutting out some cookies. Our baker put some dough in a roller and the boys and girls used a turkey cutter to cut them out.
Into the oven went the cookies. Meanwhile, I took some pictures at the front counter. In heaven I hope there will be pastry shops with an abundance of sweet treats and no limits!!!!
Wouldn't this cake be perfect for a tea party?
Sweet BlesSings!

My daughter wants to be a pastry chef when she is grown. She has her school all picked out and everything! What a cute shop you went to. And what a fun day you had with your cute son! Pizza or cupcakes???? Hum.....gotta go with the cupcakes. :)
Oh my goodness, my sweet tooth aches at the thought of all that culinary sweetness!
What Fun.
