Default grocery

Ive worked in a grocery store, bakeries, country club, and upscale cake shop. I've learned so much at all these places. I must say though there is a limit to what you can learn at a grocery store. They have a prescribed way of doing things and you cant really change it. From my experience, there's not much real creativity there...this is except for in the cake decorating dept, of course. If you can, spend as much time there as you can. You probably are allowed more latitude in personal creativity. Try new things, look at cake decorating web sites and try to copy. (I recognize this may be difficult because most of what you see now is fondant and gumpaste and you probably dont use them at a grocery store.) But practice making all kinds of buttercream flowers and such.

Let us know what happens.
