So... 2 months after moving to London... I am still looking for a job...
Though I have a job at this moment, I wouldn't consider it as a "real" job. This is because that this job I am doing is actually really fun! But not a good pay tho.
What is this fun job?
Ta-Da! I am a cookie icer/ decorator LOL
Even I find this job title funny.
If anyone is interested in this job, I can share a bit about what my working day is like:
- I would walk into the workshop get changed into chef outfit, everything white with aprons and hair net.
- After I got changed, I would press my finger on the finger print identifying device to check in at 9am. (I actually find the finger print thingy impressive)
- I check on what collections I am making and how much in quantity. Usually 20 or 30 tins.
- Sometimes I need to cut out the cookies, sometimes I don't
- I would have to make all the colors I need for the icing. This is the most messy and tricky part. People could complain to you if the color is too dark or too light. But it's all so subjective!
- Then I started icing the cookies and decorate them according to the pictures they provided.
- Going into a lunch break, where lunch is provided in the kitchen. Which is very nice because I don't have to make my own.
- Back to work to finish the collections.
- Make tins and package all the cookies accordingly.
- Change back to normal cloth. Press your fingure again at the thingy and leave at 5pm. I can bring home some cookies if I am lucky.
The working environment is actually pretty lay back.
Pretty everyone else is an art student, or graduated with an art degree of my age.
And we listen to music all day long while working in the studio.
The workshop
Yesterday I was making these Happy Birthday cookies
