Happy Monday to you! Well it's almost Tuesday now, but Happy Monday and Happy New Work/School week to you all! I for one had a lovely weekend and a lovely past two days off full of beautiful people and absolutely fabulous food and drinks. I enjoyed some lovely coffee and desserts and delightful conversation with my mom. Something we do weekly, as we both thoroughly enjoy it and it is truly wonderful mother daughter time. Chocolate and coffee are medicine to us both. Physical, mental and emotional medicine. Medicine for the body and soul. Happiness medicine. Stress relief medicine. Medicine medicine. Coffee and chocolate therapy. It was really nice time spent with my mom. We even did a little walking and light local shopping, taking advantage of the somewhat warmer weather before another cold front comes in.
Well firstly, Happy New Year!! 2014! I am so truly excited for this new year. New goals, new experiences, new memories, and new recipes. This year I did not make a New Year's resolution, but instead made a list of very achievable goals to complete throughout the year. Goals that I have been meaning to work on or complete for some time, and what better time than a New Year. One goal of course is more blog posts. And to enhance this blog further, another goal is to invest in a very nice quality camera. So expect some beautiful pictures very soon, wink wink. I want to use the camera for this blog, but also to invest some time into photography. Snapping photos of things that I find most beautiful, intriguing, inspiring and then using these photos as inspiration for my pastries and cake designs. This photo above was taken simply. A rustic photo of a rustic cake on a rustic table, no background scene, icing drizzles and pistachio crumbs on the cake board. But with this new year and a new camera, the photography will be so much more in depth. New backgrounds, new scenes, new inspiration.
