My wife the confectionist

Personal

So, the wife stumbled upon what could possibly be the coolest job in town. Except mine, of course. After finishing up an administrative position at a local high-end architectural boutique, she has been without work for a while now. She has been looking around, but neither of us were interested in her settling for digging ditches or undertaking or the like. Recently, craigslist came to the rescue! A really cool shop right the middle of downtown that makes fantastic cakes and the like caught her eye last weekend, so she gave them a call earlier this week. Turns out that these cake decorating classes she took a while back really paid off. The owners and operators really seem to be like-minded people with Hannah, so we were both pretty excited about the prospect. Well, the phone interview went off without a hitch, they were pleased with Hannah’s experience and potential, and Hannah was really impressed with their talk as well. Finally, she went in on Tuesday for the really real interview and totally fell in love with the place. I got to see it yesterday and was surprised by the size of the place, not to mention the volume and complexity of orders they are currently taking care of. Now at the end of the week, Hannah is the newest cake decorator at “The French Confection.” I planned to name this post: Hannah “Popeye” Lehner. But I was informed that the reference was a little too obscure. {Popeye was the main detective in The French Connection, Hackman played him} At any rate, should you need a marvelous wedding cake or some other delicious pastry for a special occasion, look no further than The French Confection the Nashville. Keep my wife in a job!
