I am striving to become a successful baker who owns her own bakery. From watching my mother cook and watching Food Network, to practicing my baking at home, baking in particular has shaped the person I am today.
When Cake Boss, a show that follows Buddy Valastro and the operations of his family owned bakery, first premiered, I was fascinated by Buddy’s ability to bring people's ideas of cakes to life. I realized how I could use baking to express my creativity and share it with my community through my own innovations.
Once the aroma of luscious cupcakes spreads, it captivates the senses, putting hungry victims under a trance. At that moment, everyone knows I'm in the kitchen creating delicacies, such as cheesecake or other desserts. This is what occurred when I started making my own homemade cupcakes and selling them.

3 days a week, for about 10 ½ hours each week, I spent my time voluntarily making cupcakes and frosting from scratch, decorating cupcakes, and packaging them. In addition, I spent time announcing when I was going to be selling cupcakes, then selling them after school, and buying materials and ingredients. The majority of the cupcakes I sold were vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting, coming in first for popularity, and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, coming in second place. I sometimes added other cupcake flavors, the usual vanilla cupcakes I made, but with a cinnamon, sugar garnish, and red velvet cupcakes. My sales in just the first week was $48, selling 48 cupcakes. In total, I made almost $100. I was able to gain and keep customers, as well as receive positive feedback and some constructive criticism. This experience spiked my interest in cupcake-making, in addition to my
In the beginning the food imagery shows Charlie’s unrealistic sense of control and inflated notion of self. Charlie takes great comfort at home as a child, he has the freedom to manage his own life and observe others from a distance. Life at home is “a piece of cake” for Charlie. His description of life as “a piece of cake” (195) shows the softness and leniency of his surroundings. Charlie feels satisfied at home he creates a routine, a recipe...
Create-a-meal, no my friend, instead you are given the tools to create-a-setting. You are presented with brilliant horses and jubilant music, bright colors and beautiful scenery, a blissful introduction, indeed. Shockingly enough, in the second paragraph it is quickly taken away from you. A dagger penetrates your balloon image. You are told that the smiles and happiness of the city are not genuine. Ursula K.
Bartolo Jr. Valastro also known as Buddy is an accomplished fourth generation baker at Carlo’s Bakery, where he was born into the business owned and operated by his parents. He is the master baker, cake decorator and star of the hit TLC series Cake Boss. Buddy followed in the footsteps of his father, who followed his father, and so on. His dad is his inspiration when it comes to making cakes for all of the people that come to bakery. The Cake Boss himself and the bakery became famous when Buddy was invited to participate on Food Network Challenge in 2004. He lost, but he competed in three more challenges and won first prize. After being on Food Network Challenge, two of the show’s cameramen came to Buddy and encouraged him to pursue his own show. That is how Cake Boss was born.
Today I worked with Jared out in the Cropsey Home Depot. Our original game plan today was to focus on set integrity, until we noticed Dewalt was having a Demo event in the store. The gloves were thrown down, and the game was on. We held a Ridgid Demo and interacted with every customer that walked in the tool coral, and converted every customer over to R2. At the end of the day Dewalt sold $0, while our demo generated over $3,100 in sales! We promoted the demo through social media, via twitter, and received multiple likes and retweets. We also gained 5 Ridgid Contacts to help jump start Jared R2 CRM list, and PK'd his Pro Desk on New Ridgid Product, Hyperdrive, and Promos.
In result of other companies wanting to play it safe because of the recession, Cote Baking won’t have a large amount of rivalry to compete with. However, the few competitors they do have has already established a relationship with its customers and are already one step ahead of it. Cote Baking may be look to brand themselves for the first time but they have already exposed themselves, have grown a customer base, and have a great possibility of this step becoming a success. Competing companies will see Cote Baking as a threat and will most likely attempt to compete but Cote Baking’s affordable prices and quality food will make them stand

Base needs met, Chef moves to fulfill sexual needs without love; just an opportunity to pontificate to “get the girl”. A painting of an apple causes Chef to dwell on times past; a time before war. A time of friendship; not love. We do not need details. The apple peeling away is enough. It is a comfort to him. A simpler less complicated time where his life was his own. Art stimulates the mind.
A few days ago, I innocently happened upon what, according to the bakery sign, was an almond croissant. Delighted, I ordered one, and dreamily handed over my two dollars as memories of bustling Parisian streets and morning bakery smells drifted back to me. However, as I took my first bite a record screeched in my head, violently thrusting me out of my daydream and landing me back into the reality that I was not in Paris, but in the middle of the USA, eating what amounted to a dry piece of wonder bread with two barely distinguishable almond bits on top. Ah, Paris! If you were to ask me why one should live, visit, or return to Paris my answer would undoubtedly be, "Pastry."
Considerable ingenuity is also displayed in the preparation and variety of breads, fried cakes, and

Somehow, the notion came to me that I was going to find motivation from seemingly insignificant things. For instance, I remembered this interesting trick I learned back in Colorado. Out there, I discovered that adding fresh milk to caramel made it tastier (“Milton S. Hershey”). Now, why I didn’t utilize this little tidbit earlier, I don’t know. It would have saved me much grief and anxiety, but I guess that’s the way the (chocolate chip) cookie crumbles. Poor humor aside, I used this knowledge to start the Lancaster Caramel Company in 1887 at age thirty (“Milton Hershey”). This was the windfall I so desperately needed. By 1900, the company had become so successful that I sold it for $1 million (“Milton Hershey”). Earlier, though, I found my true calling. In 1893, I attended the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. There, I noticed a German man demonstrating the production of milk chocolate (Woodruff). I was so fascinated by this that I bought his equipment right off him and took it back to Lancaster (“Milton S. Hershey”). A couple of years later, on April 17, 1895 in fact, the first Hershey’s Bar was sold (“Milton S. Hershey”). I became the first American with a formula for making milk chocolate (“Milton S. Hershey”). My life had completely turned around just because I made a few minor observations. Life can be an amazing thing. To make sure that this newfound success didn’t escape me, I observed two

...o order the Peanut Butter Perversion; because my waiter was so good at persuading she managed to talk me into buying something else. She said "Actually the Peanut Butter Perversion is good, but I recommend the Red Velvet Cheesecake. Our chef's cheesecakes are handmade and are a 12 hour baking process. And personally since I am from New York I've tried a bunch of these, but this one is the best." Feeling Overwhelmed I said "Ok can you cancel my other order and put this one?" Her language was so powerful it made me change my choice (which is hard to do) and order what she told me.
