I get a lot of comments via email and FB and blog about why I don't post more blog entries...the fact is ..I'm just busy.
Working 10-12 hours a day, a young family and life just gets in the way of future endeavors.
No complaints from me, I have a great job and work for a fantastic Hotel group and have a team I adore as I watch each of them grow into the pastry chefs they are soon to become. The past month has also seen us work exciting events such as MADRID FUSION hosting Michelin Star Chef Mario Sandoval and Local Celebrity Chef Myrna Segismundo. Long hours and late nights but great to see the world of Michelin coming to Manila.
Blog entries are just the loser when it comes to priorities among all of this culinary excitement.
In any case, I am here tonight and am so thankful to all the new readers of the blog and for those who visit for some inspiration into this amazing career called PASTRY.
I have been in pastry now for 33 years this year and love every single minute we are creating new things, being pushed for more creativity and being challenged by the daily operation.
There are days we all wish things were simpler, that operations could be flawless and simplified, but thats life, and as I am constantly reminded by my immediate superior, if it was flawless then there would be no need for me to be there.
Great things are coming our way anyway, new cakes, new breads and new chocolates soon. We are constantly on the evolving trail of new and exciting items for our guests for unstring that our Hotel remains at the pinnacle of the industry.
To those new readers from Russia, welcome to you. Nice to see about 400 Russian readers through this past month , also the readers from Bulgaria, Morrocco and Ukraine, Saudi Arabia as well as Germany.
For all others, thanks too and enjoy the photos of this past month which has seen us enjoy Easter and preparations for Mothers Day. Coming soon, photos from HONG KONGS HOFEX 2015 as we take a whirlwind trip to see the latest equipment we hope to bring to Manila.
Stay tuned and come back soon.
