As part of our Associates program at the CIA, we must complete an 18-month externship at a CIA approved site. I chose Wild Flour Bakery in Cleveland, Ohio. They were a small, local wedding cake shop. It was a wonderful experience and I learned so much from working with them. It really helped me see that this is what I want to do the rest of my life.
And now some photos…..
the two cakes I got to create from start to finish: baking, filling, decorating, delivering, and assembling
some of our “mini cakes:” 4″ cakes that a person could just pick up if they didn’t pre-order
aaaand cupcakes!
a “name cake” I got to help decorate
my daily job was to cut and fill the cakes that went through the shop, and then pass it on to Emily, our head decorator. These are just a few that we made that I loved and was glad to have helped create!
