Very Hungry Caterpillar

A few weeks ago, we had a customer come into the store looking to get a baby shower cake.  They wanted something special and had a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme in mind.  Specifically, the new little guy's bedroom was to be decorated with the Very Hungry Caterpillar set from Pottery Barn Kids:

See?  How cute!  We took the colors from this bedding set and made a truly adorable and memorable cake! Take a look and let us know what you think!

**This is considered a "Custom" Cake and we would need a minimum of 2 weeks notice**

Name:  Cris Jimenez

Hometown:  I am originally from Worcester, MA.

Education:  I attended Le Cordon Bleu for Pastry and Baking

What does your job consist of?  Here at Dessert Works I work in the cake department.  I help with all aspects of filling and decorating cakes.

How did you end up at Dessert Works?  After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, I was looking for a job that I would love.  I heard about Dessert Works from a friend who just so happened to work at DW.  I applied and have been here happily ever since.

What is your favorite item we have at Dessert Works?  It’s hard to pick just one, but I was able to narrow it down to 3: the Carrot Cake, Three Berry Gallette, and the Ripe Red Raspberry cake!

What is your favorite part of your job?  My favorite part of working at Dessert Works is being able to do what I love for work every day.  Another part I love is all of the new friends I have made while working here.
