Food Prep (December 9th)

Today i was in food prep with Misty and Matt as my mentors. Today we got to plate cakes for a party. They call that preset because that means setting up. I got to decorate or "paint" the plates with raspberry desert. I had found this time easy, except for there was a lot of plates to get ready. The party was for 320 guests. I learned today this department has to set up the plates, clean up there area when they are done and make the plates look presentable by doing a professional job. The challenge that this department usually has, is when they run out of food, trying to come up with the extra food in a certain amount of time. The issue was today, was that we ran out of cake to plate and they had to tell the executive chef and get more cake. I liked working with Matt and Misty because they show team work, and if one of them has to leave early the other always makes sure to get as much as possible done so the one is doing more then the other. They work together, and have fun. I enjoyed today, because i got to be a part of this.
