My restaurant pastry job was cut, but on the bright side I can work for myself once again and thank GOD.

The harder way, but it's my way

Returning to the roots.

It’s been nearly a year since I left Twitter and because I’m nosy the only thing I miss is seeing everyone’s likes.

This summer SUCKED and their email brought up my spirit!!! Fuck the sentiment that we as humans don’t need external validation—sometimes I do! Sue me!

A cookbook editor and the VP of a major publishing house reached out to me this summer. I’m not writing a cookbook proposal (yet), but their generosity and belief in my work really helped to keep lit the fire within when it was needed.

With clear vision I can see my future bakery space: small counter shop, colorful pastry case front and center, coffee program, magazine/food zines/cookbook shelves, pay what you can model pricing, a small covered outdoor patio with tables/seating and an edible flower garden. Can you see it??
