Busy Blessings

The Rainbow My-Little-Pony
I colored at Sweet Blessings.

During my most recent visit to Sweet Blessings, my friend Sam and I both went together. It was the first time we had gotten to go in a while because of tests and previous engagements. When we first arrived, the founder, Ashley, wasn't there. We found another lady to help us get started on a job. Sam began stacking cakes. After the cakes had been covered in fondant, it was Sam's job to align the smaller cake on top of the larger cake. To secure it, she had to put skewers into the bottom cake and then slide the top cake onto the skewers. She said it was a very tedious job to do.

At first, the lady couldn't find anything for me to do (which was ironic because there was a sign on the front door saying they were very busy that day). She was going to have me box cakes so that they would be ready to be delivered, but there was no camera to take pictures of them first, so they couldn't be boxed yet. I ended up doing what I did the last time I went, which was coloring cut-out pictures that would be put on the cake. I colored a Rainbow My-Little-Pony, Joy and Sadness from Inside Out, and three Olaf heads.

The Olafs I colored.

There was only one other lady working on these and she seemed to be thankful for my help, because she seemed to be getting stressed. Not long after I began helping her, another volunteer brought one of the completed cut-outs back to her and told her it had broken. This only added to her stress, but the girl got the materials and made a new cut-out herself. After I began helping the lady, she was able to get done faster and head on home. She had been there for nearly eight hours that day! So I was glad that I got to help her and maybe make her job a little easier.
