The Dreaded Croquembouche!

At the beginning of this week in class we made
 a Croquembouche, which is a classic french 

wedding cake. The base is made out of nougatine 
and the top is made out of cream puffs. 
At first I was dreading making this cake, 
but it actually ended up being super fun!
...partially because we got 2nd place in the 
class competition. :)

(if you look closely you can see the butterfly that is made completely out of sugar)

(the 1st place winner and my favorite out of the class)

Oh Paul.

I went to the grocery store and saw these great bottles of water. Paul Smith x Evian. I couldn't resist, so I bought a few.

I love eating and making pie. I thought this was just lovely and I hope you do too.

I have a long day ahead of me. Working at Barracuda and a shoot. Time to dream about pie.

Long/Short Weekend

Just a quick post to end the weekend. This was such an exhausting weekend. 

Saturday: Woke up early to get my oil changed. Worked at Barracuda for 8 hours by myself. Went to Julie's (from sincerelyjules.blogspot.com) birthday party. Photos coming soon.

Sunday:Woke up early to go to the Rosebowl...but couldn't get myself up to actually go. Instead I met up with my parents at Ikea and ran in to my girlfriend Emily. Rushed back to Barracuda to work for 4 hours. Went grocery shopping and finally home to watch Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters.

SOOO TIRED!!

Shoes and Food...How Can You Go Wrong?!?

Though I am not the biggest fan of all Christian Louboutin shoes, I love that he is doing collaborations with food and beverage companies. Many of these products are from a while back, but every time I look at the photos I get excited.

Christian Louboutin x Piper Heidsieck

Piper Heidsieck and Christian Louboutin produced this box sex that includes a bottle of champagne and a Louboutin shoe with a crystal heel.

Christian Louboutin x Laduree

This collaboration makes my heart flutter. My two passions are pastries and shoes. Christian Louboutin teamed up with world renowned French patisserie Laduree to make beautiful black and red macaroons. If I had these....I don't think I would be able to eat them.

Here are two other photos that I loved that combine Louboutins and food.

Back to School

Now that I am back at Le Cordon Bleu life is a little bit more scheduled, just the way I like it. The only down side is that I am not baking all day, and instead I'm in academics. Here are some of my favorite white photos I have in my library. Enjoy :)
