Today I had an interview/tour thing at a local gluten-free baking mix store. I don't know if anyone is familiar with Breads From Anna? They specialize not only in gluten-free baking mixes that you can pick up at the store and make yourself at home, but also other allergen-free.
Anyway, I met Anna and she showed me around the little office/baking area, where she explained what she was looking for an employee for. Basically she wants someone to test recipes and take pictures of them, so she can include those on her website. She sent me home with a cake recipe to test, a bag of the mix the recipe calls for, and a request to e-mail her my resume and schedule over the weekend and bring a finished cake for her to try on Monday. She also said, if I was feeling creative, to look into a topping for the cake. It needs to follow the guidelines of the mix (that is, it also needs to be gluten, yeast, corn, nut, soy, dairy, and rice free), but otherwise I have free rein - so of course I want to do it. I'll need to do a little research (though suggestions would not be unwelcome ^_~), but it should be doable.
I really want this job, y'all. I love baking and I'm very passionate about accessibility, so a job baking/assembling accessible food would be so amazing, even if it isn't very many hours.
Things to do (roughly in order):
1) Finish any outstanding homework that's due today
2) Tighten up resume, possibly including getting fresh references
3) Lay out schedule on some sort of grid or table
4) Send in copies of my resume and schedule
5) Actually bake the cake in question
Okay, let's do this thing!
