Okay, it’s been a while since I last posted, but let me tell you… I’ve been a busy bee.
I haven’t really mentioned this before but aside from taking classes and writing my exit project, I also thought it would be a good idea to get a part time job. Being the foodie that I am, I applied to work at a patisserie.
Sounds fancy, I know. It is. Sorta…
3 days a week, I’m surrounded by butter pastries. It’s amazing. Not only that but it’s fun all around, and I get to watch the chef make incredible goodies.
So basically, I’ve forgotten to take pictures of things but largely I haven’t had time to make anything aside from the most boring meals ever known to mankind (and in my world that basically means large salads with every vegetable and grain I can possibly add to it).
But today, at work, as the chef was making a chocolate cake with marzipan filling and green buttercream for a little boy’s birthday, I was reminded of something I made a few days ago.
A bright GREEN half birthday cake for my (Irish) former (but still near and dear) roommate, Christina (aka Boo).
The cake was a delicious Almond Raspberry Layer cake with green cream cheese frosting.
It tasted delicious. It looked ridiculous.
But then again I think that’s a pretty good way to describe our friendship. Amazing, but also pretty ridiculous.
Happy Half Birthday, boo.

Congrats on the job, Karla!!! Sounds like the perfect job for you!
Sounds like a really neat job! One of my BFFs recently started working at a bakery and really loves it — plus she gets to bring home lots of yummy leftovers. 😉
Karla,
LOVE the blog. We’ll discuss further in class.
Love,

Oh…I am jealous of your job, man. Your cake looks delicious, I like the green—what’s a half birthday?
Sounds like a fantastic job! Congrats :). You’re a bakery queen and totally belong there!
Mmm this reminds me of that green Swedish cake that is so bad for you but sooo good for the soul ;).
Thanks boo! That was the best half-birthday cake ever 🙂
bee-u-tee-ful!
YUM! I would gain so much weight working around pastries all day…no self control!!! 🙂
You’re surround by pastries? Good lord, you are a strong girl.
That cake is gorgeous—hope you have been doing great!
