Being a bakery of all female bakers you will not be surprised to know that there are certain ‘rules’ to our work day. These rules are not about serious matters like flour percentages, ingredients or recipes but about something far more important, what music is going to be playing in the background as we work in the kitchen.
The 1st rule. Whoever takes the morning shift (usually 4am for the first cutting and shaping of the dough that has been refrigerated all night) chooses the music for the work day. If the college aged daughters are up first then I know I will awake to the sounds of the 60s or Adele. Not bad.
If I take the morning shift then they will awaken to Michael Buble’ or Dean Martin or perhaps Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra. My daughter’s think that my choice is amusing but rules are rules. J
The 2nd rule. The first rule will be canceled when the little bakers wake up and come downstairs for the day. If the ‘little girls’ are contentedly playing nearby then the music will be Disney show tunes or folk songs by our favorite artist, Pete Seeger.
In the evening while we are cleaning up and preparing for the next day, it will be to the sounds of relaxing instrumentals. Currently my favorite is a classic Yoga relaxation CD.
Naturally we are looking forward to a kitchen filled with the sound of fantastic seasonal music for the holidays as we bake and prepare food for those we love.
Please tell us what music moves your day along. We love to hear from you.
