Transcript
What happens if you give a brand new apprentice a tray full of cheesecakes that are worth $240? Well, first you have to dry off the top because if you don't, the whipped white chocolate ganache will slide right off. No I'm demonstrating pistachios to the top. Would you give this complete tray to a brand new employee on day one? She did just fine.
