For two weeks I done work experience at 350 Lewisham High Street Hirts&Son Barkey which is owned By Loren Evans, she also has two other branches one which is at Blackheath Standard the other one is at Dulwich. The bakery that I worked at is the head office ,meaning the bakery that dose all the cooking, Loren Evans the lady who owns this small business is based at the lewisham barkey and dose all the fineance ect...
Throughout the two weeks I was rotating from working in retail and cooking, making, preparing in the bakery. In the bakery I done a variety of different activities; decorating cakes and biscuits using piping bags filled with icing, butter icing or whipped cream (Which they make themselves). Making Danish pasty, Puff pasty, Donut dough and bread dough I also helped fill the Danish pasty with sultanas, jam, cinnamon ect... With the puff pasty I made London Cheese cakes, Apple Stroodle, Apple Turnovers.

The photo up above is my most favourite picture as I love the light of the sun shining down on everything and then you get the shade of the trees reflecting onto the path meant. Also the row of shopping gradually is getting small in the distance. The photo I took reflexes on m mood that day as I was happy, pleased of my day I enjoyed it so on ... there is some disappointed bits in this photo as its slightly out of focus it could of been a bit more interesting.
The picture to the right I s a mind map of the things we are going to write about on our weekly. Also took photos of.

My photos are not that interesting as I was limited to what I could take picture and the time I had to take them because I could not get in the way of the costumes and there was very few times when there was not costumes in the shop.
During the time I was at the bakery I enjoyed absolutely everything from meeting the people I worked with and having a nice chat to get to know them to working along side the professionals, doing the practical work in the bakery. Personally the baking was most enjoyable also having a laugh with the bakers, Mick, Mat, Derik, Rambo and Barry. There was only one thing that I did not particularly enjoy that was waking up at 4:45am every morning to get to my work placement at 6am but it was worth it for the experience I gained.

Working outside of school was fantastic new exciting experience I defiantly Enjoyed it was interesting how I thought of things, as I thought of this in a different way than I would at school and also how come over the difficulty I faced. I’m looking forward to the future and seeing what maybe be thrown at me, personally if I get the job I would like I will enjoy the working world.
