I've realized recently how much I love cooking (specifically baking!). I worked at a local cafe over the summer and ended up in the kitchen, decorating cakes, cooking lunch and breakfast, and making some of the baked goodies. The job reinvigorated a passion in me that I had ignored since I left my mother's very well-equipped kitchen and moved off to college. While I had to leave the job due to, um, conflicts (read: clingy manager), I haven't stopped experimenting in the kitchen.
Which leads me to this first entry. I looked on my hard drive and realized that I've kept a semi-decent record of recent culinary projects. After seeing a sorority sister's blog displaying her beautiful decorated cupcakes (I will post a link later), I got inspired! This will be my virtual food portfolio.
Here we have one of my "professional" cake designs. This is a chocolate decadence cake from Ciocolat in Davis, CA. The cake is a layer of thick, fudgy chocolate with a hint of espresso on top of a chocolate sponge cake. It is topped off with cocoa powder and chocolate espresso beans. It is a staple at the cafe and is truly delicious! I definitely suggest it if you ever find yourself staring into their dessert case.
