Turkey Day Special.

Well it's turkey time again. Most pastry chefs are busy finishing up pumpkin and apple pies. Not the pastry chefs where I work. We are busy strategizing how we can bake 45 turkeys in 1 day with an oven that holds only 10 at a time. Now let's do the math; that's 45 turkeys divided by 10 which equals 4 1/2 rounds of baking at 3 3/4 hrs. each. That is almost 17 hrs of turkey roasting!!!

Future Kraut?

We have local contracts with Lancaster farms so we can buy, use, and sell the freshest produce.
These Brussels sprouts are so vibrant. They are in the same "family" as broccoli and cabbage so they grow on stalks. These look like a giant stalk of a zillion baby cabbage. A dream come true for this Polish Princess! Wonder if they'd make good kraut?!

If you haven't all ready noticed, I capitalize ALL words referring to the Culinary World! Just wanted to put that out there.

Cake Season

Well, haven't shared much lately...but that doesn't mean alot has not been going on. It's wedding and gradutation time, and that means it is Cake Season, as we say. Ugh, It has been so fudgin' busy the past month. There is usually only time to cook dinner and pretty much go straight to bed, Yuk. BUT in a few short weeks my summer will begin. Ahhh free afternoons and plenty of time to do as I please. The store will dramatically slow down, which I know is a bad thing, but on a positive note tho we will have more time to "play" We use summer and mid winter to try new recipes and strategize for the upcoming busy season.
This summer we will be working on our Fondant Technique, redoing menus, and expanding our Sugar-Free Line and our 100 Or Less Line (100 calories or less)
....can't wait...just need to finish up about 100 more orders first, LOL!
See you soon.
P.S. and I have decided to soon go VERY public with this blog. I have a little sumthin sumthin up my Chef Jacket sleeve!
