Sweets

The other day, a frequent customer at Figaro (a coffee shop where me and my friends hangout) asked me if I have seen Chef J (another frequent at this awesome coffee shop and a pastry chef). I told him then that I haven't seen her in a while.


When he told me he was looking for someone who makes wedding cakes with all the designs edible, I chuckled a bit. Not because, he doesn't know what was it called ( it's called fondant and gum paste, by the way) but because there was a time when all I did was to make them and even made money out of them. Even Chef J asked me to make her son's birthday cake!
