When there is not enough dough scrap for the next batch of croissants and a sacrifice has been chosen…

Forgot to post these little coconut cream tartlets before the new year…

First cake of 2026:

Sacher torte cake

Chocolate cake, thin layer of apricot jam, chocolate buttercream, chocolate drizzle.

Ugh

Looking back on 2025, my obvious bright spot was proposing (successfully!) to @epicillusion.bsky.social.

Turtle cheesecake: creamy plain cheesecake on graham cracker crust, house made salted caramel sauce, toasted pecan, dark chocolate drizzle and Malden salt.

Chocolate mint cake: chocolate cake layers, creamy chocolate buttercream, Andie’s mint chocolate crumble.

Apple medley tarte tatin: pink rose, opal, and Granny Smith apple slices, house made salted caramel sauce, puff pastry, and fresh made crème fraîche.

Coconut crème pie: buttery deep dish tart shell, coconut pastry cream, chantilly cream and toasted coconut flake.

The past few months seem to be a blur of everything happening. Taking a breath before the new year begins and realizing I have accomplished so much in the year along.

1 coconut crème pie that is semi dairy free (the crust has butter in it).

And 2 roasted kabocha pumpkin pies.

2 deep dish pecan pies which weighs about 6 lbs per pie…

2 deep dish apple pies: pink lady and green apple blend filling, lattice and turbonado sugar. Served with salted caramel sauce à la carte.

Spent the day making 9” deep dish pies from scratch…

3 peanut butter pies: fresh chocolate crumble, peanut butter mousse, whip cream and reece’s cups.

Make 24 quarts of soup hoping it’ll last for 2 days. I go to clock out and see only 3 quarts of soup left.

FML.

I pictured us more like them

So today is my last day at one of my part time jobs. It’s bittersweet and everyone is sad about my leave. So I brought in cheesecake to share and bait them into coming to my new place 😂.

How it started vs. How it’s going…

My career in laminated doughs started 16 years ago and is still ongoing. There’s always something new to discover and a new technique to learn. So never stop enjoying the things you do.

When we went to check out, the bagger asked him if he really said that to a stranger… then Chad points to me… I approach and ask if they’re talking shit about me…

and we left the store while the bagger was confused. Least he had a story for his coworkers.
