Iron Baker Project 2010

This term we bakers have to individually create a bakery.  Every aspect needs to be covered, from the fire and safety codes to the menu including the R & D of every product.  I thinks it's gonna take me at least 100 hours of work to complete this task. So far I've put in about 25 hours with out bakery time. 

I thought I should share a piece of my world
