Extra October Blog

During the month of october I was super busy!!! I had one wedding 15 Bitthdays and halloween. I had tons of shifts this months and I was really able to show my true colors at the shop. I created and sketched out a cake design for a wedding and I created and decorated cupcakes for walk ins on Halloween. Although I had encountered some problems like having less frosting than I anticipated to decorate the cupcakes but It was completely fine because I just placed the remaing of the frosting in the fridge it just gets so overwhelming I lose my mind sometimes. During this month I had a consultation sit in with my mentors I got to get hands on experience with getting to know the customers thoughts and expectations it was great to be able sit down and sketch out a rough draft of what their ideas and our ideas were able to become. I can't wait for what's in store for the future.

1. What I plan to do for my 30 hours of Independent Component is to keep doing the same thing I have been doing with my mentor, this time I want to go more in depth with my topic get heart to heart with it and perhaps get to do am cake order by myself. I will shadow with her more often rather than how much I did for mentorship. I will shadow and see how she interacts with clients how she handles remedy's if there for some odd reason comes a problem, as I'm shadowing her I will write down some questions that I'll have for her to answer by the time she's done seeing her clients.

2. To meet the expectations of showing 30 hours of evidence for my Independent Component I will type out the questions and take pictures perhaps some videos if that's okay. That way I have my evidence.

3. What I will be doing for my Independent Component will help me explore my topic in more depth by, helping me understand and answer my senior topic and essential question. The answers and experiences I will receive from my mentor will help me with my senior topic..
