Yes, I know...it has been about 2 months since my last post, but I'm back. I didn't have that many cakes to make in the last couple of months, and took a break from my obsession w/ perfecting the French macaron. I also went on an awesome cruise with my mom for 15 days. But, it is May, and I have several cakes coming up in the next month or so. I also have a wedding cake tasting coming up in July, and a wedding cake in August! I am excited for my busy cake baking summer!
So, things that I need to get done are still not quite done, but are progressing. I will say that after my vacation, I've been feeling rejuvenated and refreshed, and more positive about this baking journey. I also got to visit my favorite dessert restaurant, Extraordinary Desserts, in San Diego, which was a rejuvenating inspiration for me. And, tasting the Ivorie Royale (yes, I did get a slice..well two actually), it was so amazing!

I'm feeling much clearer about what I want, and know it will take a lot of work to get there.

I completed two cakes this weekend - a birthday cake, and a bridal shower cake. It was great to bake again. I tried a new recipe for one cake, and tried to up my decorating standards a bit. I think they came out pretty well.
