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!

    Every weekend this month PNP has a new client booked...which is amazing!  Thanks to my friends at Yelp I'm busier than ever!

    Two weeks ago I had the priveledge of making the most adorable cupcakes for a baby shower only  to follow up that order the following week with a very special order for the Chicago Academy of the Arts!  Celebrating their 2009 prom with the theme of "A Night Under the Stars" I created 120 star cookies decorated in shiny silver and gold.  They came out fantastic, and everyone was extremely impressed!   How amazing is it that the week started celebrating the birth of a child, and ended celebrating the graduation of someone else?

    In a few weeks I am the pastry caterer to a wedding that's happening on a Wrigleyville rooftop!  I'm super excited, as this will be my first official wedding, and it's the first of many for me this year!

    Stay tuned for alot more!  I'm busy baking, but I'm not far away!

    Sweets!
