The simpler things are the less effort you have to put into training and what not.<br /><br />Just to clarify though, we did enjoy the cake, I'm sorry if that didn't come across in the post. I liked the cake, I just didn't LOVE the cake.Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-63329873654086318362009-04-27T11:04:00.000-04:002009-04-27T11:04:00.000-04:00While I'm a trained pastry cook, it's needless to ...While I'm a trained pastry cook, it's needless to say that times around here are difficult and one should take whatever job opportunity they should get. So I was considering a job at my local CSC as a decorator... until I saw their kitchen. It's true that the ice cream is churned in store, but everything else (even the cake layers themselves!) are shipped in frozen from "corporate headquarters." They also take zero pride in their product (the manager of this particular store told me that they purposely "dumb down" their designs so that children could do them)... so it's no wonder no one enjoyed the cake!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
