Still Waiting

Hey girls... I miss you so much.. I am still struggling and hoping to get the working visa for New York... Amy's Bread is still waiting an answer from me for the job offer... It is like a joke... Oh well.. Cross your fingers... Here I just baked some stuff lately for some parties my friends were throwing... Yesterday for another small organic food catering I did raspberry gelato with the raspberries from our farm and also apple tartlets with cinnamon whipped cream with also apples from our farm and little nibble cookies and organic lemonade... It was fun (but now as fun baking with you guys... Patricia I miss baking with you :)) Put some more pictures from Europe trips :)) and also some info of consumed baked goods :)

I got a job at Kara's Cupcakes!!

I'll be working almost every day except Saturdays until about 3 or 4... yay finally!! Come visit me in the marina!! Love and miss you all~

p.s. Megan- sorry i didn't call you today, i left my phone at home but we need to get together now that I'll be in the city quite a bit again =)

PARIS!!!

I was sooo disappointed to find out that most places are closed in August because the chefs go on vacation. But of the ones I've visited so far, Laduree was open, known for their macaroons. Here are two pictures, but many more to come soon. One more day in Paris tomorrow, and then we're off to Venice, Rome, & London.

Wedding Madness!

Hey girls!!! Here is my post from all the wedding stuff, FINALLY!!! 200+ wedding cookie favors covered every inch of my parents kitchen!

Summer Cookin'

Hey you guys! Here are some pictures of just some of the things I've made this summer:





This is my 4th of July pie. It is strawberries and blueberries with an almond crust. I served it with amaretto whipped cream.




This is a picture of me making red wine sorbet. It was a big hit although very soft because of the amount of alcohol...I have to tweak the recipe a bit.


I miss you all sooooo much!

A post from Istanbul...

I will start again by sayin "I missed you all soooooooooooooo much!!!". It is great hearing from you guys and seeing pictures of what you have been upto... Me as you know came back and dealing with my body breaking down... uggghhh... I think my body is telling me to go back :)))) So besides that I looked at some job opportunities and seems like besides big hotels and opening up my own place, I do not have much of a choice... Which makes me sad and depressed... So fingers crossed I will find myself something that would make me happy.... So besides all these depressing news I am spending time in our farm house with my grandparents and with the dog I rescued from the streets (does not even learned its name...a crazy free spirit...). We are doing organic farming and at the moment we have raspberries, gaja like apples, cherries, strawberries, artichokes, many herbs, tomatoes,cucumbers,beans and really a lot of stuff... My dearest Grandpa is a garden wizard.. The ones we cannot consume my family donates it to many places... Nevertheless like 2 days before I picked some rapsberries and made cupcakes... I also made little lemon curd tartlets for my moms birthday.. Our family has diabities so did not make a big cake... But made a baklava hehehe... Oh well... I am really scared to frost a cake nowadays scared that I am going to fail doing it... I love you all.. Ifaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttt give some voice here I know it is hard with 3 cute princesses but please I miss you! Put some pictures! Z
