If you can’t take the heat…
Pastry and pie crust are the only things that should be flakey.
I am a committed person and like all my ducks lined up in a row. Imagine my surprise at the discovery that, as dedicated as I was to my job and as wholeheartedly I throw myself into parenting, I had started to let my own dreams begin to crumble. The daily slog consumed me and I stopped looking up.
The realization that I was rapidly being devoured by all the things that “needed” to be done slapped me upside the head. I made a radical decision: I was not going to return to my job after giving birth; I will be going to culinary & entrepreneurial school to become a pastry chef and open my own coffee shop.
This time was my third attempt to return to school and complete my education and the third time is supposed to be lucky. Armed with newfound determination and all the lessons learned in my last attempts, I jumped in with both feet.
I am taking you all along on the journey with me. So grab a cup of coffee, get cozy and be prepared to giggle, cheer and cry along with me as I blunder through baking and its foibles and faux pas.
