Dreams, Dreams, Dreams.
So so so many things have happened. First I finally got a J-O-B! this is the reason why I haven't been writing to you all I've been searching for forever, but I found one. I work at temple bar in Cambridge Ma. I love it so far, of course given the fact that I have not worked in a restaurant ever it is very hard, but worth it thus far. One thing I do know is the fact that for me personally, I do not want to be in the kitchen for the rest of my life. As I said before I LOVE food, and I know that I want to do something involved with it. But as I am working in the kitchen for myself personally I find that it is exactly what I expected, and I was always iffy about if that was what I really wanted to do. I think for right now I want the experience that I need to succeed in anything that I lead to in this industry with food. Be it writing, pastry chef, or the hospitality side. I feel this might be a little repetitive but Hey if I cant talk about it what else is there to do.

Lesson's Learned
Adele =)
Curlycakes- boston cream pie
White lies- harry =)
There are so many times when I hear, oh your young you'll make mistakes and learn from them. But sometimes I think do we really learn from them, in all honesty I feel most people have to make the same mistake many times to really learn from them. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so, were always learning new things and changing but even with learning we have to see it more then once to finally get it. That is the same with making mistakes. Today I had to quit a job that to be truthful I did not want to work at all, and unfortunately for me I took forever to tell the chef that till the day I actually started work. Was it responsible of me? not at all, but it is a lesson that I learned, you have to go with your gut sometimes. And if your gut says no you have to tell that person RIGHT AWAY I don't want that position or in any situation. HONESTY IS KEY especially from the start, and learning from your mistakes is always a good thing. But don't feel bad if you don't get it right away I'm only 23 and I am still making the same mistakes and learning from them.
By The Way: I gave up on the cupcake writing because I am not to fond about the places I have been to thus far. Sweet and Curlycakes have really been a disappointment for me. So I'm debating what to write. I think for now it will just be about my life and experience.

I'm having a block
So as you all can see I did a new post about my cupcakes that I have been waiting to do for a while. But I want to apologize it literally has taken forever to write it, and I think it's because it's something out of my element fully. As much as I would love to be able to write, in a way that it just flows right now I can not. But I do hope you stick by me while I improve on my writing skills.

Cupcake's here we go
So it's has been a while this time. I truthfully just did not know what to write cause I just wanted so badly to start with my cupcake writing. And of course I could't start with out Karl-lydie, and of course she couldn't do it cause she is currently in L.A.! for the next couple of days, the lucky lady. So instead I did it with someone who in all honesty should have sort of been my first choice. This person is someone who like me LOVES cakes, cupcakes, and pretty much anything with frosting lol. So it was my sister Zian (14), actually it is both of my sisters that helped (Avianna,14 is the other). So one is the taster, Zian, and Avianna is my picture taker.
So we start!
SWEET BAKERY- harvard sq., newbury street, and backbay
At the time that we went, which was last week Monday. My sisters being friend's with Jewish people were doing what you should do on passover and not eating wheat or anything with gluten. So keep in mind that we have a regular cupcake and two gluten free cupcakes that we tasted. Which is actually a good thing cause we could now critique another flavor/ texture of cupcakes. My cupcake was the dark chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting. While my sisters had the vanilla gluten free cupcake with vanilla frosting. Here is the review we have for you all:
First the chocolate cupcake: while it does look amazing! the taste just didn't meet up to standards. For me personally I felt it was so much frosting with a little cake that to me, was just dry and average. Nothing short of a cupcake that you could get a stop and shop that is a lot moister and probably has a better design for the frosting. My little sister Zian did have a quick bit and she was impressed, but even in her opinion said she couldn't taste the cake because of the fact that there was so much frosting.
Second is the gluten free cupcake: I have to say that I am not a fan of anything gluten free, so I will be very biased in this review. To me of course since it is gluten free the cake is more,stiffer? a lot thicker. But for me it was a more flavorful then the chocolate cupcake. To be quiet honest I will need my sisters to right this review so until next week hopefully!!!!
So we start!

New Look..New Me
As you can all see I have changed my blog design! and I have to say I love it, and I hope you all do too. For me it's similar to what I finally want to write about FOOD. Don't get me wrong my life is still going to be talked about, and such but now I want to start writing about what makes me happy and what I truthfully want to do as a career. So starting next Monday and probably every Monday, me and my friend Karl-lydie will be going to cupcake shops and critiquing them from obviously our perspective. I'm starting with things I love and are most comfortable with so get excited cause it's probably going to be an AMAZING RIDE HAHA.

It's been so long!..but not really
Hello everyone! hopefully your weekend was great cause mine was! This weekend I went to Rhode Island to visit my good friend Arlene. It was fun, every time I go over it like I'm just part of the family and I love it!
We went to a hookah bar, and it was hilarious but very very expensive so I recommend if you do go to a hookah bar save a lot a lot of money o.k.?
There's so much i want to write but I guess for now I'm just not in the best of moods, and I'm tired. I really need to start my cupcake writing sooooonnnnnnnnnn!
something to cheer me and you up is my new movie's =)
Very exciting right?! it's literally all of my movie's more so cheap I'm just missing the first Bridget Jones, but that will be here soon hopefully! Anyways good night you all. sleep tight.

Idea's
So this isn't going to be a long post. I have to go to school to drop off paperwork for my last week of my externship!!! meaning I will officially be done with school! I don't know if that's a full yay or nay. But we shall see, that's what I'm writing I have all of these idea's in my head and I'm just not sure which one to follow. First for me is work? I'm going to be honest that I am a little nervous about growing up and being an adult. Second it maybe going back to school to get my BA in journalism and hospitality and pastry?!?! I feel if I am in the back of the house it would be in pastry not that I don't like the savoy side I just love pastry. Then there is the fact that now that I'm home I want to leave asap! lol So we shall see the outcome of all this, but one thing I do know is me and my bestfriend Karl-lydie http://mskayelle.blogspot.com are going to start being a taster of all cupcakes in the Boston area. So starting, hopefully this week, we will be going to different cupcake shop (I think this might include bakeries) tasting the different cupcakes of our choice and then I will be blogging about it, and taking picks! So get ready, cause I think it's going to get very sugary soon hahaha
I don't think that is a word but o.k.
btw: I really need to start writing more in my blog
