The baker’s key is the first to turn in the door on Monday morning at 3am and, without even taking her bag off her shoulder, she fires up the ovens then heads to the staff quarters to put on her armour for the day.
There are only two ovens, so we need to work strategically by making items according to the temperature they are baked so that they can share oven space with a suitable partner. The apple tarts come out of the oven first and big cloud of caramelised sugar is drawn into the extraction hood above.
Whatever challenges this day may bring, our objective is being able to appreciate the experience of practicing our craft in a way that is both memorable and enjoyable, so that at the end of the day we are left with all the good bits.
