/ck/ - Food & Cooking

ex was a baker for a small delivery bakery that operated in a crappy neighborhood.
she got up at 3 or 4am to drive 10 miles to the shitty house converted production bakery "shared space" to make 50 cinnamon rolls, 50 croissants etc etc and then deliver them to 3 or 4 coffee shops locally for something like 15 bucks an hour.
I came with her to work once on a day I had off, we made coffee, drove out and I sat around while she did her thing, we watched the sun come up through the window. I read and we listened to the radio, a local jazz station.
In that beautiful moment, it was comfy.

But no, its not a comfy, easy job. You wake up early, you get burned often, you have a lot of stress of juggling multiple bakes with different times, shortages of inventory, delays cost reputation and you can lose an account instantly. Its a tough job.
But there is a simple, classic pleasure in it.

It gives it a nice glazed top
