I actually worked in a bakery, but there is a good chance that you would never note that.

It was called Polka Dot Bakery an is not a specialty cake store. I can promise you working there was nothing like ace of cakes.

I chopped canned apricots and prepped tarts for the MET, and in my spare time drank the vanilla bean lemonade and read my summer reading books, I was 16 at the time.

One of the few things I learned was the concept of Mis en Place, or the idea of placing out the ingredients before you cook, as to not end up S.O.L. half way though.

It turned from a bakery coffee shop into a cake store the summer after I left.
