bakers half dozen visited Google

4 members of baker's half dozen visited Google on Thursday May 10th. My God it is like a college campus. you can see even people playing beach volley in the middle of buildings on real sand!!!!!!!!! We went I think to all the cafes in the campus. We ate at one of the biggest and main ones which had an outside seating. Everything is free... My God we almost got lost in the cafe as we did not know what to get where to start... They have open salad bars, mexican corners, tapas place, desert buffets, little espresso machine corners, peet's coffee corners, coca-cola corners, aaaaaa a lot of eating and drinking corners...!!!! We thank Billy for taking the time to show us all around google and also introducing us to the Chef of the Cafe 150. There are 14 cafes now inside google and Cafe 150 is one of them. The name is coming from the fact that they only cook with ingredients they get from the suppliers that are only in 150 miles radius. he was very talkative. He showed us all the kitchen and told all about their menus and how they have a theme everyday like cuban day or hawaiian day or even 7/11 day... Here are some photos of the day.... The next day Sylvia and Haley were off the Cannes film festival to cook for celebrities...

Haley you will not believe it!!!

I asked Z to MEP the chocoalte ckae b/c you guys know I have bad luck with it. So this cake is in the oven & I said "Hey Z, did you add the buttermilk?" & she said "OOOPS!!". I am cursed with this cake. It has turned out good 2x for me so i know I can do it!!

Bagels

Crazy Girls- made some bagels

Almond Macaroons

We made these almond macaroons which we filled with ganache. The texture is not quite right- a little chewy. We think it is the almond meal we are using (has skins)
