It was defiantly a fun experience; I got to make many various desserts for the afternoon tea event that happens at the hotel. As soon as I went into the kitchen Rita had me wear a coat and apron with a funky hairnet. Right after getting all dressed I was ready to get baking! Rita got me started by rolling cookies and right after I got to make red velvet cupcakes. After spending the day with Rita in the kitchen, I noticed how dramatically my baking skills improved and was quite impressed with myself. Overall I enjoyed the day baking, it was such a fun experience and I am egger also excited to spend more days in the kitchen with Rita.
