$6 per loaf, $2 each for pre-cut 3x5" sandwich slices.

I'm realizing just how much I enjoy breads, and how hard it is to find artisanal ones in our area. Well, I'm here to help fix that.

I have a few on-hand at the moment, but my preference would be for orders to be made a day in advance to give me time to make it as fresh as possible for you.

It's been a busy few months. Class has been consuming the majority of my time, but it's been one of the most fulfilling things I've ever been a part of. I'm going to make the time to put myself out there to the world though; I want to try and show off the beautiful works I've been making and hopefully start getting them into the hands of those that want them soon.

As always, let me know if you're interested in anything you've seen.

It was a magical day when I realized that anythinv that can be made into a full size pie, can be made into a mini pie.

Pastries have been some of my favorite to make so far. The simple designs and thick, buttery taste lend well to many different fillings.

Who says pastries have to be sweet? The hearty breakfast vibes this delicate little monster gives off are a fantastic way to start out a day. So savory 😭

Tarts! Something about miniature pies just absolutely tickles me. The amount of creative freedom you have on your tiny canvases is unending.

This was actually my first attempt at a cheesecake, and it turned out wonderfully. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the topping had a gorgeous mixture of a savory dark chocolate and sweet blueberry.

Laminated pastry is quickly becoming one of my favorite mediums through which to express my culinary creativity. Puff pastry, being savory and flaky, provides an interesting base for sweet fruits.

This week was the class's first real delve into the real uses of chocolate in the pastry world. We worked on a number of recipes, including a buttercream and a few merengues. The one I was most proud of though, was our dark chocolate caramel ganache. It turned out thick and savory, with a gorgeously silky dark texture. I'm very excited for the coming weeks when we start working more with decoration with our devilish creations.

I'm not super happy with the way the plate decoration turned out - I still haven't gotten a huge amount of practice with the art of decorum. I'm still working on it, though.

The pastry turned out gorgeously, a beautiful golden brown with a crisp, flaky texture. The lamination layers puffed well and the taste is absolutely fantastic; a wonderful combination of salty, buttery pastry and sweet, silken filling. Laminated pastry is turning out to be one of my favorite niches in the baker's repertoire partially because of the detail involved in the process, and the creative possiblities of the flavor involved.
