btw...how long do you feel I should be taking decorating this cake? I don't want to take an hour...doesn't that seem too long?

From what I understand most shops want to see your skills and how long you take. I know for grocery stores they want to see how fast and good you can crank them out! Way to go on the interview...good luck icon_smile.gif

Go with something you know, something you have experience with, something you know you can knock out of the park.

What are you most confident with? Flowers? Piping? Fondant? BC?

Play to your strengths icon_razz.gif

Good Luck!
