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 Birthday Sarah Vargo!!!

    DateWednesday, January 21, 2009 at 04:31PM

    On Saturday January 17th I had the pleasure of being able to take part in a fantastic birthday party for Chicago's own Sarah Vargo.  Sarah and many of her friends met up at Chaise Lounge, where Chef Cary Taylor designed a delicious menu for the evenings guests.  After dinner, I presented Sarah and her guests with mini chocolate passionfruit cupcakes - much to her surprise!

    Sarah was recently named by NBC5 as THE Nightlifer to Watch in Chicago...how cool is that?  She is also a Managing Parter of Maven-Chicago, a publicity, promotions and event planning company.  They do some pretty amazing stuff; I really recommend you check them out.

    At Chaise that night was also Jen Knoedl and Benjamin Mahoney - who collaborated on an insane video for Sarah to remember her night.  Ben was gracious enough to pass along a copy to me; and you can look at the entire video here. 

     

     

    I feel so grateful to have been included in this party, and look forward to many more like it to come!

     

    Sweets!
