A Most Delightful & Unexpected Gift

Have I mentioned recently how absolutely wonderful my customers are?
I haven't?
Well, jindeed I must.
I have some of the best, kindest, most thoughtful customers on the freakin' planet!

Very recently one of my favourite couples came in carrying a delicate small box along with a photocopy of something I couldn't quite make out. Jintrigued, I ran out of the kitchen to greet them.

"We have something for you Jennifer!"

They opened the box to reveal what I knew at a glance had to come from Europe. What astounded me was that it had not been merely shipped here... he had brought it back with him directly from Austria.

He had stayed at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna & came back with their world renown tortes- of which I was one of the lucky lucky lucky recipients.







Of course, me being me, I had to dissect it & savour every single morsel. Oh it was Divine & truly one of the most thoughtful things I've ever received!

That was just too cool.

Attitude of Gratitude

Goodness! I bet you've all thought I forgot about you! Not the case my darlings. Jinny's got her priorities & anyone who knows me, knows that I put my pastry shoppe before anything else. In a time when businesses are closing left & right, I am truly thankful that I am so busy. Plus, how lucky am I to be located in an area that appreciates the hard work I put into all of my hand-crafted high quality pastries?! Simply Fabulous!

Muffins sweetened w/Local Honey, Black Strap Molasses & a touch of Dark Brown Sugar topped with my very own Scratch-Made Butter & Cinnamon Streusel.

Lemon Berry Dreams (zoom in on the card for their description).


Don't worry about me everyone. I do take a break every now & again. My last afternoon away was spent hanging out at the coolest place I've been in a long time.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

The jin believes whole-heartedly in Fate.
She believes that paths cross for a reason.
Incredibly interesting souls always seem to find my 'out-of-the-way' shoppe.
I truly enjoy meeting, chatting & creating pastry bliss for them.
Check this cake:

FUN, yes?!
It was ordered by a local couple.
I swear the lady that picked up the cake was
the classiest dressed woman I have ever had in my shoppe.
In fact, if I didn't look like me, I'd want to look like her.

This couple has a website showcasing their art.
They are absofuckinglutely brilliant photographers.
I want you all to go here & click everywhere.
But, come back when you're done!
Don't leave meeeeee! Not before you comment! ;-)
