well, the national restaurant association show was fabulous. always nice to be back in the big city--I love Chicago anyway, and having an entire McCormick Place full of foodies was just the icing on the cake! Very inspiring, to say the least. I even had a chance to visit a local family owned bakery and get an idea or two there. In fact, I came up with a new roll recipe last night due to all my creative stimulation over the weekend. I made a strawberry cream cheese roll that turned out quite fabulous, if I do say so myself! Always nice when a vision comes to life as well as you planned it, eh?! Another busy week, and this time the big weekend cake order is for my very own soon to be 6-year old! She wants a ginormous cupcake ONTOP of a cake--what?! Greedy girl! But I say what the heck, we will go for it! I said, that will be kind of hard and she said "I will help you, MOmmy!" Cannot ask for more than that, can you? Brilliant! I'll try and remember to take a picture of that one...if it can happen.
