I frost and decorate the sugar cookies with buttercream frosting. During the holidays I would frost thousands of cookies. I occasionally assist with helping package the other sweets and breads. As well as prepping the ingredients for the buttercream frosting.

A couple other things:

- I work in a clean, organized, and sanitized workstation, while ensuring compliance with health regulations.

- I often worked with the bakery team for timely and efficient completion of large orders during peak seasons.

- And I use my talents to create customer satisfaction by creating visually appealing and delicious custom cookie designs.

I have my own business at home.

I have a bakery called Sassy Cakes by Kate.

I specialize in gourmet cakes, but occasionally do themed cakes. I do layered cakes with buttercream frosting, but often make accommodations to make meet allergies, and such. I self taught myself cake decorating at the age of 17, but have been baking since I was 11. I currently take orders. My most recent was 200 peppermint brownies, precut, and ready to serve. My second biggest was a couple hundred cookies (4 different kinds) for my sister’s wedding reception. And the craziest cake I have done was the birthday cake that the fairy’s made for Aurora in the old Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. I do cakes weekly, and love trying new techniques!

I helped bake the brownies, muffins, cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, etc. so I was scooping dough, rolling dough, cutting out doughnuts, portioning batter, etc. I also assisted with the packaging of the products. And often trained coworkers on how to properly package, while at the same time do it in a manner. A little later on I started frosting and cutting brownies, decorating cupcakes, cake slices, doing frosting kits, filling/dipping/packaging eclairs, and decorating cookies for different holidays. I then would also be taking orders, restocking, and helping customers.

A couple other things:

- I am a very sanitary/clean person, so I always follow food safety regulations by maintaining a clean and organized workspace at all times.

- I was constantly training new employees on proper baking techniques, equipment usage, and customer service best practices.

- Decorated and merchandised quality bakery goods to build business reputation and revenue base. This was often with the holiday cookies I decorated.
