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…

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

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.
My love for @chadbonin.com grows stronger every day. Last night we went to get groceries and dinner. We had separate shopping baskets. I instruct him to get his own bag of chips and when he returns I ask him what flavor he got. “Flavor shut the f*** up.” I was crying laughing.
New seasonal cheesecake was a hit at tasting. First time doing something like this but glad it came out as I had envisioned. “Strawberry Lemonade NY style cheesecake with strawberry glaze, chantilly cream and lemon slices. (Crust made with lemon Oreo cookies.)
