In September I was lucky to begin working for a fantastic company. They are an organization that supports young & mature adults with Developmental Handicaps. This is the field that I went to College for a few years ago, and since moving back into the Region of Durham I have not been able to find a job. I was working as a school bus driver for a large company, and it was a great job that suited me well for the place I was in at the time.
A good friend of mine that I had lost touch with since graduating college and had recently regained contact with, thanks to Facebook, had told me that her employer was hiring. So I put my name in and the rest they say, is history.
The company I work for is called "meta centre". We have some openings for young adults who have or will be graduating from High School, and would like to continue their skill development or perhaps find employment in the community. Anyway, we recently held an Open House to let the schools in the area know where we are, and what we offer. Since my Supervisor knew of my passion for all things "sweet" she asked me to bake a cake for the party. We felt it would be best to keep it simple for the event, to avoid any allergy conflicts. The one thing we didn't consider was anyone who was a Diabetic, but they were great sports about it and just didn't eat too much of the icing! The cake was a simple white cake with white buttercream icing both in the middle and on the top. I wrote our name and logo in our colours on the cake as well. It got rave reviews, from our staff, visitors, and clients. I look forward to making many more in the future!
