Life is short. Eat dessert first!

Whether I'm creating specialty cupcakes for a baby shower, making hundreds of mini desserts for a Yelp event, or simply baking some cookies for friends - I absoloutely adore desserts!  Sugar? Yes! Flour? Oh yeh! Chocolate? Gimme, gimme! 

Pastries Not Potatoes is not only a blog, but my tiny little dessert only catering company as well.  I've been in the food business for more than ten years and I can't think of anything better than to share my love of food with not only Chicago, but the world!

    Happy Easter!

    DateSaturday, March 22, 2008 at 08:55PM

    I hope this new post finds everyone enjoying the first few days of spring.  Here in Chicago however, it's more like the middle of winter with the very unexpected snow storm that came through town yesterday!  My neighborhood saw a good six inches of snow, but that didn't stop anyone from celebrating the new season and the blessed holiday.

    What are your plans for Easter?  I know many folks on this holiday choose to spend their afternoons at packed Easter buffets, but my family will be joining me tomorrow for an early dinner with baked ham, bacon roasted green beans, rustic gouda potato bake, homemade buttermilk biscuits and brown sugar peach pecan crumble. Yum.

    There are many new pictures and stories to come as we welcome in one of the most perfect seasons, including some lovely pictures of a sweet little easter basket that I did full of sugar cookie eggs, bunnies and crosses.

    Have an amazing holiday and viva la spring!

    Sweets!
