So im going to vent now about my horribly sucky day at work, not that i think too m any ppl give a rats ass. but anywho... TUESDAY: it began as any regular day at Vanilla Pastry Studio ( www.vanillapastry.com ) every thing was going just fine. Our Chef (April) left early for the day and left Christina (also my roomie) and me to finish mixing a few things and close up shop. I ended up making a 20qt mixer full of chocolate cake batter to be used the next day... everything SEEMED fine. Then i had a cheesecake in the oven while i was cleaning. right before we left i took out the cheesecake and put it in the fridge. We took one last look around the shop everything looked clean and we left.  WEDNESDAY: get to work at 7:30 with my Chef and one other girl jen... April goes to the ovens to turn them on and asks "Heidi, did you just turn this oven on?" i reply "uh... no..." and april looks at me with her "mom-like" you're in trouble look and says "you mean to say you left the oven on ALL night?" in my head im going... took the cheesecake out and... yeah i left and let the oven on... SHIT!... so i get the "stink-eye" for awhile. then we bake some choco cupcakes... and we discovered that Tuesday when i made the batter i used baking POWDER instead of SODA... dee dee dee, im an ass hole. so she flips out and tells me to do it over. so i begin to scale it again. after we threw away a 20qt mixer worth of batter, she trusted me to do it again... and low-and-behold.. i fucked it up again. ahhhhhh... im all owed one BAD day right?

I understand you, I've gone through the same thing.

the pastry is difficult, one must be very accurate

I have had many errors:
Problems with caramel, mix chocolate with water x.x!,burn cookies....well...everything you can imagine

but in the end I do good work and for your photos i think that with you is the same, so let the day pass, at least you learn to always check the oven before closing the shop ;P

Whoa. Look at it this way, you made all your mistakes in one day and got them out of the way! ^^;

Nobody gets to make such divine masterpieces as the ones in your gallery without making a FEW mistakes from time to time! ;)

Ouch, yeah, sounds rough. :(
I'd say you should be allowed a bad day or two, I mean, it happens to all of us.
Best of luck, I really hope they see it's just one bad day and that this doesn't compromise your position there.
