First days

Today was my training at Awfully Chocolate(which I'll rather call it AC in short :)).
It started at 11am all the way to 11pm. 
It was like a training session and at the same time, a tryout shift for us!
Our training lasted till around 3pm or so, and after that we had like 8 hours of work.

During our training, we were briefed on the different products AC has, and the prices,
how to arrange it and stuffs. :)
It was kind of boring during the training tho, we had to like seat there and see the
paper full of words, and hear our manager explain one by one.
My eyes were like staring at the paper and words, and almost going to close anytime.
But unfortunately, I was sitting like directly infront of the manager, so it's kind of stressful at first.
But the manager, Donna, was really friendly :) Very glad.
And best part of training was the part whereby we got to try almost all products of AC!!!

Picture speaks a thousand words:
And not just these, there's additional 6" Rum & Cherry whole cake and
6" Banana Chocolate whole cake. #iknowyouarejealousHAHAHA

Amazing isn't it?
But this like only happens during training, which is like only for today.
I know, I know.. in your mind you're like going #chey instead of being jealous already :(

ok anyways,
after that chocolatey 'feast', we cleared the tables and our 'shift' for the day started :)
We learnt how to do the decoration/icing for the cake first.
Then we moved on to learning the different types of drinks, latte, cappuccino etc.

The drinks part is kind of tough, really.
There's like more than 10 types of coffee drinks so it's a different recipe for
each and every one. Really mind-boggling especially for first-timers!
But we focused and managed to learn quite a few, but still got to look at the recipe tho. :))

I'm looking forward to my first day, actual first day of work, on the 3rd of Sept :)
