I had to pass off some monsters as dessert yesterday...  It was the most embarrasing thing and  i cringed every time a plate of that monstrosity had to go out.  It was supposed to be individual servings of carrot cake...  I was all prepped for the afternoon, had the cake cut out into squares, and piped rosettes on them...  Personally, compared to the other choice of dessert, i thought the cake squares were much too big, and since when do u serve cake with frosting, with ice cream...?   The whole dessert sucked, actually, both desserts sucked, it was very obvious that not much thought was given to them...  as it usually is with the sunday desserts....  but that's a whole 'nother story, i'll go into it when things change and i can fully bitch.. haha...  Neways, i had to do the best with what i had, which is y i had piped rosettes on them, trying to make them look as elegant as possible...so a few plates go out, and chef is on expo and of course he comes back there and asks whats the deal, why is the other dessert soo small...  So he decides (i'm not sure y...) that all the c.cake squares should be individually frosted, all sides... on the fly????  because "this is fine dining, and it'll make them look better".... I did it... with the help of the boys...  cut that bitch in half, frosting in the middle, frosting on the sides and on the top... BAM!!!!  all 50 of them...   They looked like SHIT....  I'm still learning about fine dining, but i know one thing it definately is Not is a huge ass square of carrot cake frosted all around, and served with a scoop of ice cream.. wtf???  I can't believe i had to serve that...  I was fuming... as is usu the case these days... but, it's okay.. I feel the winds of change coming, i'll try to sit tight till then..
