Chaos in the kitchen the other day as we fought to get a thousand mince pies ready and out in the shop in celebration of #nationalmincepieday. With both the kitchen porters calling in sick and two of the bakers on leave, it left the rest of us in insurmountable amount of stress. Dishes piling up, pastry cutoffs everywhere, bits of sticky raisins and pine nuts flying in the air. Crazy crazy day ending with the exciting news of Telegraph bestowing our tiny mince pies with the title of "the BEST mince pies in Britain"!! 🤩 #allswellthatendswell

Say hi to Noor, the new bakerator (baker + cake decorator) in London. She works crazy long hours starting early each day. She cracks thousands of eggs, frosts hundreds of cakes, and makes kilos of frostings in scary industrial mixers. She lugs sacks of flour, cartons of soy milk, and tubs of mascarpone cheese. In the four weeks she has been working here, she has fractured her wrist, dropped a tray of (frosted) cakes, mixed pistachio frosting in the red velvet frosting, smushed four coconut tortes, jammed the glue gun, and committed a crime that must not be named. With her fingers numb and her feet sore, she is a zombie by the time she reaches her safe haven, her bed. Her parents think she's crazy. Heck, even she thinks she's crazy. But everytime she complains, her close ones are quick to remind her that she is living her dream. And she is glad they do because it is true. She gladly wakes up each day to repeat the laborious process all over again. She is learning with every second, with every task. She begs time to stop so that she can breath and soak it all in. This dream to the next one waiting for her back home, Noor shall continue this labor till her bones crumble and her soul shrivels. ✌🏼 *cannot explicitly name the bakery. They'd sue me. **will share some BTS stories soon.

No more sob stories! #dissertationsubmitted #iamfreeee
