World Wide Vegan Bake Sale

I am planning on participating in the world wide vegan bakesale this year. I think it will be a great way to get more vegan treats to people, raise money for the shelter that I end up working with and let people know what Bittersweet Boulangerie has to offer. I am very excited about this and bake sales are an amazing way to get vegan dessert in the hands of a lot of people.

Redesigned with baking in mind.

I have officially chosen to rename and remodel this blog and showcase my baking/culinary adventures. It will act as the face of Bittersweet Boulangerie (company name) until there is a website up and running. I can't wait to reach a whole new audience and show you guys all the things I am working on. If you take a look back at my first cake post (chocolate mocha cupcakes) you see the lack of aesthetic execution. I love the journey I have taken to get to the point where my desserts look the part. As always the dessert are 100% vegan and made by me. I think this is a huge step forward and I thank all my viewers in advance.

It's been a a while. Vegan cupcake-ing. Happy New yr

          Its been a while since I've posted things about baking on here. I've come an extremely long way over the course of 2011. I look at those first Chocolate Mocha cupcke pictures in utter shame LOL. I didn't want to start posting baking stuff for fear it would take over my entire blog but, I realize it IS what I'm doing with my life so what the heck. I'll queue posts to make my presence more regular :).
          I recently did a wedding and while insanely stressful. I'd do it again, I appreciate the bride and groom for allowing my to be part of their day and for them to virtually be my guinea pigs :)
          Another reason I will be cupcaking on here 100x more often is because I have business card with this site on it. Some how if I blog more I'd be more likely to hand out cards but unlike other social media sites this blog isn't highly interactive...and I like to feel listened to.
          I'm still a vegan....very much so lol and I continue to delve deeper into veganism converting people one by one(...through cake of course).
          And it's new yrs eve so I hope 2011 treated you well and 2012 is even better
here's some cupcake-age for your viewing pleasure (all vegan and I mde them all ...pow ENJOY):

More work= less blogging

It's sad how much I've neglected this blog, especially when I'm working and have so much more to blog about. I've gotta find a balance between working, sleep, and blogging lol. I'll use my days off to update and keep this blog exciting. There will definitely be more cooking/ baking posts. More pictures and possibly some videos and giveaways. Those are exciting.

Green Vegetarian Cuisine!

          I mentioned that I have a job now, so I think it's fitting to talk about it a little bit. I heard about the restaurant when I had recently quit meat. Some how I never got around to going there (it's actually about a 25 min drive from my house). One day my day says we're gonna have a father/daughter day and he surprised me by taking me there. I was too besides myself! I wanted to go there for SOO LONG.
          The food was incredible we had the sampler(HUGE crispy onion rings,buffalo fingers and steak fries)I had the eggplant parmesean, and my dad had the mushroom stroganoff (changed my life it's sooo good). Then for dessert I had and oreo cupcake and my dad had a chocolate coconut cookie. We we're served by Katie and chatted up a server named Jessica FOREVER :) (*ALL desserts are vegan at Green.)
           Fast Forward a few weeks and I'm volunteering at a shelter with my group from psychology class(doing moms and daughters mani-pedis and make-up). We decided that we'd do lunch after. Turns out Green was only 10 minutes away! The girls decided to give in to me and have some vegetarian/vegan food. We ordered the sampler and took FOREVER to order our entrees(we couldn't choose!!). A midst conversation with our server Brenda, the three girls mentioned that I'm a Vegan baker, and somehow my business card got from my purse, to her hands to the owner. We finally order and as we're stuffing our faces,

Menu->

(Katherine had the Mushroom Stroganoff, I had the Sesame Chicken, Celeste had the Portabella Mushroom burger and Rebecca had the Chicken Fried Steak) one of the owners, Chris Behren , comes over to us with Neatballs asking "who's the vegan baker?". We talked and at the end of the conversation he tells me to bring some samples next time I come. We stuffed ourselves then ordered one cupcake each. As we were leaving I got to meet Cece (baker at green, Jacque is another baker I met later).
          Just one week later I was back with cupcake samples. Katherine and I decided to have lunch there as well. She ordered an appetizer of onion rings and had Spaghetti and Neatballs. I had fried mushrooms and Neatloaf. For dessert I had a double chocolate cookie and Katherine had a Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcake.

Cupcakes I made->

While I was there I applied for a job, I said what the heck. Chris told me to come in on Sunday at 10am to train and see if i liked it. I loved it. Now I'm a server and baker there!

I'm BAAAAAAACCCCCKK

I have my computer back and I will be blogging like CRAZY .... it's been like two months.
I turned 19 on the nineteenth, which was cool. I'm not big on my own birthday if you couldn't tell.
I've been baking like crazy.... which is AWESOME. I have a ton of pictures to post.
I got a job at this vegetarian restaurant as a server and baker. AWESOME x 1,000,000

Things have been good while I didn't have my laptop, so they better be GREAT with it!
I've also talked Melanie, blogger at Streets I Know, about doing a GIVEAWAY. I don't know what to give away quite yet but it will be good especially with Melanie's help.

It's so good to be back AND. I have some new followers. Hey guyss!!!

Series of unfortunate events...

          In no way shape or form have I abandoned my blog.....my Laptop is BROKEN *deep and painful SIGH*. This couldn't have come at a worse time, not only do I have a ton of things to to blog....I start school this Monday (I'm taking summer courses). I need to get it fixed ASAP. It's so inconvenient not to have it.
