When I said “I promise the next big thing won’t be either of those” I was referring to something else, I guess.

I know it seems like all I do is make sugar cookies and macarons, but the thing is…the holidays come and go so quickly that before I know it, I’ve got to break out the merengue powder and decorate a million cookies all over again. Between Christmas and Easter really there’s not much time to come up with anything else. I promise next big thing won’t be either of those. 

Just not sure what to try. Any suggestions?

 Sometimes my day job means I’m illustrating an exploded view of an Arby’s Hot Turkey Roaster.

 Made up this fictitious brand for a pitch in which Client A is sponsoring the business activities of Client B (Jane’s). In ten minutes. FROM SCRATCH.  It’s also 1:35 am and you could tell me there’s a typo in the logo and I would believe you.

Only about once every few months do I break out the almond meal these days. Macarons were being cranky with the humidity around here so they didn’t get the height I’ve been accustomed to. That aside, these are made with the almond meal from Trader Joes that has the shell still on the almond when it’s ground. Since these are strawberry pistachio, I kindof like the “rustic” feel. 

Anyway happy Valentine’s day, y’all.

First visit to the Atlanta Aquarium this weekend and let me tell you, it’s worth the admission price. Although the admission price should include lunch.
