The biggest challenge
OMG. I am so stressed out.
I started my new cake decorating job last week. Well, I don't have all that much experience, I have dabbled in just about everything, but never really specialized or got really good at anything. So I have the knowledge but not the know how. I have always wanted to do wedding cakes, but was just too afraid to try. Well, the one lady at work who I will be replacing (she leaves in 2 weeks) has taken me under her wing and thinks I can do wedding cakes.
OH. MY. GOD!!!! She is pushing me. She is a perfectionist. She has been doing this for 30 years and she is SO AWESOME. I am extremely lucky to be being taught by her. BUT I FEEL LIKE CRYING EVERY SINGLE DAY OUT OF FRUSTRATION! The bad thing about being taught by someone like Marie is that I feel I can't measure up. She expects perfection, which is good, but it feels so bad right now! Don't get me wrong, I am so, so grateful that I landed this opportunity. Decorating cakes is a lot harder than it looks.
Ok, if anyone has ever gone through anything like this, where you were so totally and completely challenged to do something that you wanted so badly, please tell me about it. I have NEVER in my life experienced something like this and my tummy is in KNOTS!!!
