When in the beginning you are a little bit slower and trying to figure out how to do things the right way. But once I build confidence and get the hang of it I start working like a machine.

Stephanie's Feedback

I suggest further developing this response to fully answer the question. When you mention being a little slower in the beginning, do you mean at the beginning of your baking career, the beginning of a shift, or the beginning stages of trying a new recipe? I suggest being more specific in order to make your answer stand out.
