Le Bon Pastry

The right pastry the right way is bliss because it tastes and feels like home.

Shortbread Piano!

I used the recipe for Ted Lasso cookies to make regular and brown sugar shortbread cookies so I could make a piano!

Baking should be fun. It is the little things that make it so. 😁🎹

Brunch Hash w/ Tomato, Avocado, Golden Potatos, a Fried egg, and Parsley

I've been taking a break from the baking for business, trying to find my purpose and the joy in it again. It is a process, and some days, I do more than on others. I have challenged myself to make the things I am afraid of being bad at to grow in my faith and courage and to increase my technical skills.

My sister is my "trusted advisor" and food soulmate.
Whenever I don't know something about food, I ask her first. I talk through most, if not all, of my ideas with her. Although we have almost completely different approaches to food and she would not do most of what I would, she is the person I know I can always "razzle and dazzle" with about food. (I know that is the incorrect usage, but that is what I say to her when I want to chat and ideate about food... "Let's razzle dazzle!" 😁😅)

So after literally thousands of video calls and years of show and tell, countless descriptions of dishes, recipes, and beyond, she and her son sat in my home at my table.
She was finally able to cross my threshold, see my home. I was finally able to give them the Le Bon Pastry Brunch Experience, at least in part!
She and my (not so wittle anymore) wittle boi were able to taste my biscuits, the way I make them in my element.
She was able to experience my creativity and the story of my food in person. What a pleasure it was.

Hi All,

For personal reasons, I will no longer be at the Thurmont Farmer's Market this summer. My plan was to join in July to align with specific fruits in season, but that will no longer be the case.

I am not closing business but am stepping back a bit to rest, reevaluate, and plan for the future. I may still be selling in communities within Frederick County here and there or taking orders on a case by case basis.

Feel free to keep an eye out for where I may be. Thank you to those who have supported me and who were looking for me this summer. Please spread the word if you know of pwople who would like to be aware.

I just want to celebrate this pasta. I was thinking back to the fact that I made this from scratch back in October of last year. It tasted so good, and I was so proud of myself, it being my first time. This precious thing has been sinking into the depths of my gallery for far too long. Today, it shall riiiisseee!! 😅⬆️

Here you see "Semola Pasta" made from semola rimacinata flour (Semola rimicinata di grano duro), water, and salt. I paired it with my go to veggies of zucchini & squash, with tomatoes onions, and garlic; seasoned with the Mediterranean works and of course extra virgin olive oil!

At the time, I didn't have eggs and realized that this wasn't semolina which is more common in the U.S. Thankfully, I'd bought the semola because I am all about Authenticity, and I bought the one made in Italy, which turned out to be the finer Semola.

I did some research online to see if I could make pasta without eggs with the semola. Thanks to recipe, I learned something new and was able to proceed...

Among other things, Semola is used to make orecchiette, a hand formed pasta from the Southern region of Italy. I tried several times but cannot yet make it. I don't have the technique down right now. It requires, to put it simply, requires you to roll the dough into strips, cut small pieces that you roll open towards you into a round shape with a butter knife and then imprint with your thumb on the other side going away from you. (Go find it on YT has a video.)

Hopefully one day soon, I will get it or someone can teach me. Mine is flawed but still worth celebrating!

Do tortillas count as pastry? Made the Pico de Gallo and tortilla chips from scratch.

This is the April menu for the Thurmont Pop-ups. There may be specialty items in addition to this menu, depending on time, availability, and creativity. 😅 For Carrot cake, you will have to place a special order.

I've been a content creator for years but publishing is my problem. 😅 I take a picture of just about everything I make but never share, so here's a phot dump of my recent exploits in pastry.

1. Green grape gummies
2. Butter Rolls - w/ vanilla honey butter glaze
3. Tortillas (the best I've made so far, they did not crack when they bent, well all but one)
4. "Dessert tacos" - spiced brown sugar tortilla with caramel apple chutney (kind of), caramel glaze and vanilla ice cream
5. Spiced brown sugar tortilla - some were more 'well done' (burned) than others 😅
6. Apple chutney/apple caramel
7. The start of cake pops? - cardamom vanilla cake
8. Cardamom vanilla cake - @ front with an orange hibiscus rose glaze. @ back with a vanilla bean milk frosting (?)
9. Iced oatmeal cookies
10. Pancakes - I'm a biscuit girl, so these are worth celebrating. Plus the are pretty 😉
11. Lemon cheesecake bars
12. Honey Ohs spiced caramel cereal bars
(13.) 11 & 12 in a box for sharing with neighbors. 😁
