very-berry-cherry-sm.jpgI haven't been in the studio much this summer, but I've been spending a lot of creative time in the kitchen.  I've been baking cakes for a local cafe for the 5 years, but this spring they asked if I could handle supplying them with a more diversified menu & I started to tackle pies, puddings and cobblers.  It's been a lot of fun, but I miss sharing with the list, so I thought I'd post a few of my other creative efforts. . .

the first pic is my 'very berry cherry' galette, 4 lbs of cherries, blueberries, raspberries & blackberries w'a spalsh of chambord.  that's a sour cream coconut icebox cake in the background, plasted & filled with 4 lbs of shredded coconut.

peach__apple_pies.jpg
peach pie (spiked w/Jack Danials) and sour cream apple w/salted pecan crumble.

these were really fun.  It's hard to put your own stamp on pie, so I started baking my apple pies in a 1o" cast iron skillet.  It holds over 5 lbs of apples!

the peach pie - and most of my other pies are baked on 14" cast iron griddles.  the trick here is rolling out a 28" pie crust and manouvering it into place w/out tearing it

cupcake_cones_4_sm.jpg
coconut cake (again) banana w/white chocolate frosting & toasted walnuts, 3x darl chocolate cake (my best seller, w/over 3lbs of Callebaut dark chocolate between the cake, filling & frosting) and chocolate cupcake-cones.

I'm almost lost for words!!!!!!!!! My mouth was literally watering looking at such gorgeous delights!!  You are fantastic!!! I can imagine your photographs in an excellent cook book, along with the wonderful recipes of course!  (such a shame I am allergic to chocolate though!!!!!!)  I can imagine the customers in the cafe waiting very impatiently for a slice or two of your magnificent cooking!

Was wondering if you'd care to share the recipes? Especially for the apply/friuty ones as we have lots of apples to get through each year and it would be great to do something different and your pies look absolutely wonderful! bear_wub  bear_wub Chris would be over the moon if I presented him with something like those for his pud! bear_original  bear_original

You fooled me, too; I was expecting a "dessert scene" like "duck soup."  They are beautiful and yummy looking. Please send the coconut icebox cake and the dark chocolate cake, please. bear_original
