Yes, I haven't blogged in forever, I seem to say that every time that I write a post.
But, I have been a little busy.
I was accepted to the Kirkland Master's Commission! I even had my interview this morning and it is all official now. I am going to be living with an awesome family, sharing a room with a great sister.
In the meantime, I have been working like crazy to make money; trying to come up with creative ways to supplement my part time job. My first successful project was a bake sale at family camp.
Why not, I thought. Everyone needs cookies for family camp and no one wants to have to bake in 80 degree weather. Why shouldn't I do all the baking in 80 degree weather!
So I made a Facebook event and got quite a few responses, many more than I was expecting! So thank you to everyone who ordered! Your donations are much appreciated.
Thanks to my "perfect cupcakes, cookies, and muffins" cookbook, Food Network, and Pintrest I was able to create a nice little menu of my favorite desserts that I have made before and love.
My signature items included a pear gruyere pie inspired by the amazing but short lived TV show Pushing Daisies. Thanks Chuck for the recipe!
This pie is amazing. Cheese baked into the crust, pears simmered in spices and port wine. You can't get much better than that when it comes to a pie.
[My little menu; if you are reading this and want to order something, leave a comment and I will fit that in my schedule :) ]
That's my little update of what I have been doing during Summer Holiday, and here is to baking!
