And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

I never, ever thought I’d have a week like this…. that’s totally the truth!

I’m a James Beard Award finalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef? Are you kidding me?

Yes, I’ve dreamt about it, I’ve even made it to the semi-finals a couple of times before, but a finalist? Really? I’m a bit numb.

Fingers crossed for May 7, but I’ve already won. xo
