The title of this post is seriously exaggerated but work really is kicking my butt right now!! Pastry is not just flour and butter. It is flour and butter and standing on your feet for 12 hours with no real break because you are so busy, and working every weekend and holiday with a dash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. That my dears is pastry…or at least where I work. Right now I am, reluctantly, the pastry “chef”. I am the sole person responsible for pastry production be it a cookie or a “insert sophisticated sounding dessert here”. However, today in spite of my fatigue, I felt proud as I plated up desserts for restaurant service. Those people are eating my stuff! Wowser!!
My desserts are not perfect but hard work and patience went into them. And I hope I am not coming off as a braggart. Its just that I have been gone for 15 hours today and gosh darn it I am gonna pat myself on the back! So, before I muscle rub myself to oblivion and hit the sac I present to you some of les desserts:
From top to bottom: Strawberry shortcake, Smith Island cake with brown butter ganache, and Apricot Sorbet with rainbow tuile and berries.

That’s all! Good night/Good day!
