It’s time for interviews

It was very easy for me to find a person to interview because as you know I am a baker so I go to this person a lot for baking classes and she owns a very successful bakery in Harrison NY, Her name is Nora.

I emailed her through my mom’s Facebook account and she was up for it.

She helped me answer One of my sub-questions, That was How has technology helped baking and changed it throughout time. And since she owns a bakery she works with a lot of tools that use technology. 

Here are the questions I asked her

1. What got you into baking
2. What kinda tools have changed from then and now
3. How the design that people use on cakes on cupcakes and all sweet treats changed throughout time
4. Have any of the techniques you used and use now changed
5. Have you noticed any technology used changed for baking
6. What are some ingredients that used now used that you thought you were never gonna use
7. What somethings you love to bake 
8. Why did you choose baking as your job
9. Do you think cooking and baking are similar
10. What is one thing you don’t like about baking 

I thought my questions were good but once I got into the interview I had some others I wanted to ask some other questions about my topic but I didn’t do it.

 and also thought about how when I was about to say the question sometimes they didn’t seem so reasonable so I would try to think of something on the spot.

In the end, One thing that was so interesting that she said in the interview was that when she would cook with her grandma they wouldn’t use tools they would use there hands and she uses that in her bakery as well. Nora helped me so much and I have a great feeling that I will rock capstone!

In my class, we are doing Capstone!

My topic is balking and The reason I choose it because I always had a passion. I always find fun and amazing to express yourself and you can be creative. I’ve been baking for a long time, I can bake cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and much more. I really love baking

Well as you know I have to do this project virtually and for me, it has been very hard to understand if I can do this or if I did this right but now I think I kinda got used to it. One thing that was pretty stressful for me was the sub-questions because it was hard to think of questions that you had to research for not just a fact. For instance, when I had three out of five sub-questions I had no idea what I was going to do and I was really frustrated and not happy.

Well, now I know that everything’s gonna be okay and I’m excited to see how capstone goes because this is just a beginning.
