Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner ... well sort of.
For those of you who will be attending the David Girard Wedding Workshop I will be there with cake and desserts and I'll be giving away the top layer of the cake for one lucky winner to take home and enjoy.
March 8: 12:30 Wedding Workshop and Showcase
David Girard Vineyards
Experience an intimate and informative afternoon with Northern California's finest, hand selected wedding professionals. Experience an event designed for the discerning bride and groom left overwhelmed by the impersonal volume of the trade show enviroment. With two vendors in most categories you have a chance to see different styles and talk in a relaxed atmosphere. Fun, informative workshops are designed to help engaged couples through the overwhelming planning process.

I would happily have this man's baby...
Just catching up on some of my favorite reading:
Michael Laiskonis
He just sounds like such a nice man, in addition to being a pastry genius. There is such a balance in this industry between being a nice person and being able to get the job done... all the while maintaining professionalism.
That being said, I have on more than one occasion swore at (or in the general direction) of one of my co-workers in the heat of the moment. Of course I regret it. Of course I would never yell at one of my employees. The more you submerge yourself in the kitchen the more you come to understand the real value of those people working to the right and left of you. I cannot do everything! I need help! (It's like a twelve step program for a pastry chef.) As much as I want everything to be perfect I also need to teach and work with my team to get us ALL to the finish line and have ALL of us be thrilled with the end product. Each event gets better and more well thought out, which is one reason I get so excited about every couple I work with!
Tune in next week for a redux of this weekend's tastings (all four! between tonight and tomorrow afternoon!) and the Gold Country Weddings show.

Groom's Birthday Cake
I got an emergency call on Monday from one of my brides... "I need a birthday cake for my honey... on Wednesday. Can you help?" I usually like to have two weeks notice on all orders, but I was able to help. Here is a pic of Alex's birthday cake.
