Simple luncheon today for the Convention Bureau -

Grilled Peaches, Peach Anglaise, Spun Sugar - never mind the shortening ball, just needed a demo plate

Busy, busy week. We have visitors in tomorrow and my assistant is out with a sprained ankle. She will not likely be back until her baby leave is up. "Damn the torpedoes..."

Anyway, we did a nice little lunch plate for a potential wedding client.

Fruit Tarts, Ganache filled Macaroons, Caramel Dusted Meringues

We also did a revision of the Chocolate Bavarian Dome from last week.

What a week. The sudden pop-up for Coca-Cola's 125th has been a beast. Nothing dramatic, just lots of stuff. That also backs up to several Birthday Cakes and an Engagement cake - sorry no pic's, just trying to knock it out. We also have the Berry Trifle for the Monastery tomorrow. I was hoping to meat the Abbot. He's supposed to be a bonsai aficionado.

I did however find so other pic's for your perusal.

Britt at the Magnolia Ball. I've never known anyone who smiles quite that much.

More individual Birthday Cakes - Chocolate Raspberry Torte and the Orange Creamsicle.

Super fresh, local berries for our Trifles Friday night. We plucked the soft, bruised and overripe ones for coulis - unbelievable. I don't have a memory of fruit being like this - real. The greenery doesn't hold so well and will have to be trimmed.

Local, Organic dessert tasting. The cream, butter and eggs all came from nearby. We had to source several ingredients from Whole Foods, but still very good.

• Limoncello Mousse Dome, Almond Dacquoise Biscuit, Raspberry Coulis, Spun Sugar - would have preferred it on top, but due to attendance considerations we have to put it on the side.
• Tasting plate
• Strawberry Shortcake

Here's so other fun tidbits.

My terrible "hack-job" on Brittany's name.

And a photo before the TV shoot - thanks Kristi.

Finished a very busy week in fine fashion. The "Mary Pickford" went better than expected. The sorbet tempered nicely and everyone was really pleased.

The classic "Mary Pickford" was a prohibition era cocktail that incorporated Dark Rum, Pineapple, and Grenadine. My "Mary Pickford" is a Pineapple Upside Down Cake with homemade Sour Cherries, homemade Grenadine, Meyer Rum spike Anglaise and Honey-Citrus Sorbet. Previous posts also describe the Dehydrated Pineapple, Candied Vanilla Bean "skewer" and Honey Bee garnishes.

It takes a good crew to pull off a dessert like this at the end of a long day in a hot tent, so I am fortunate to have just that.
