Pastry Chef Sheya - Volume 1 Chapter 3 Bubblegum

Waffles, waffles, waffles. Perfect for morning treats. Three orders in a row. The first one was topped with strawberries, the second was smothered with nutella and the last one was just plain classic with butter on the side.

“Tuesday is looking good” uttered by Sheya as she blended cinnamon powder with her pureed apple pie sauce. She mixed everything with the chunks of fresh apple and put them inside the oven. She took the frosting out of the fridge started to ” dress” dozens of cupcakes in front of her.

From the very first moment she ate her first cake as a child, she already knew what she wanted to do in her life when she grow up. She started by making jellies of different colors and flavors and she would sell these to her classmates. Her mom used to call her “Bubblegum” because of her sweet tooth and love for all things soft and colorful.

” One whole carrot cake for take out please, then can I have I’ll have an espresso and tuna pie” ordered by a man with huge bags on his shoulder and a laptop in one hand. It was obvious that he would be staying in the cafe for several hours to finish whatever it was that he had to finish.

Sheya baked large batches of foods to last that entire afternoon. She sat in front of the window drinking hot tea infused with mangosteen and sweetened with honey.

One customer, a woman approached her and asked to speak to the head baker.

Sheya: I baked everyhing here, I also own this place. Is there anything I can do for you?

Woman: My name is Marie. Your blueberry cake is to die for. It’s the most delicious cheesecake I’ve ever had. I need to ask you to customise this for me and I will pay you twice the amount.

Sheya: What do you have in mind and when do you need it?

Woman: I don’t want to rush you but I need it two days from now. Instead of making a typical cake, please make a cupcake tower using your blueberry cheesecake and swirl a generous amount of nonfat whipped cream on top of each babies. I need to watch my figure because Im sure I will eat a lot of those. My office is 5 minutes walk from here. Can you deliver it on Thursday at around 15:00?

Sheya: I will be glad to. See you on soon then.
