Dish Examples

Baguette

I love making and teaching all things bread! Not only is it one of my favorite things to eat, but there is also something so therapeutic and satisfying when working with dough.

Pate de Fruit (Strawberry Gummy Bears)

I am constantly making these yummy and cute pate de fruit. I have a variety of molds, so the shapes change, and by making fresh fruit puree there is no end to the flavors that you can make, so get creative. They are great as a sweet treat, or as part of a mini dessert plate.

Raspberry Tart

The best way to use seasonal, local fruit is in a jam and piled high on a fruit tart... both of which I have done here.

Chocolate Chunk Cookie

Chunks are the new chips, and there is no better comfort food than a classic chocolate chip cookie. Here I use different kinds of chopped chocolate to have the ultimate chocolately experience, and flaked sea salt on top to get that salty-sweet combination.

Birthday Cake

I love to celebrate, and I also love to make cake, so no better time to bake a cake than a birthday! I focus on simple flavors that can pack a punch and come with a surprise, while finding creative ways to garnish the cake. Here I've used white and green buttercream, with edible gold and wafer paper to create the diamonds. It's simple, but elegant.
