In Pursuit of my Pastry Dreams: A 340 Day Pastry Project Challenge
Do you have that one thing, may that be a hobby or
something you do when you’re super bored, that you’re seriously, seriously
crazy about that you don’t mind doing it for the rest of your life? J
Given that it’s the first month of the year, I’ve
been reading about blogs encouraging people to plunge in, take that leap of
faith and not be afraid to take risks in life this year..
Shouldn’t that be the case all the time, though?
Well, of course we still have to act as rational as possible as well and not use
such principle to waste our lives. But we should always, always listen to that
inner voice in us – that gut instinct(and yes, sometimes those little
butterflies in our stomach as well), that knows exactly what we need.
Let me be clear that all these musings are based from
things that worked for me in the past and ofcourse, still works for me now
cause I must admit that I still have to experience life’s miracles ahead. J
So maybe you’re saying,
"Okay we get it, enough with all that deep and
sentimental thoughts, Pastry Princess. “
and wondering about the
340 Day Pastry Project Challenge
that I’ve set for myself this amazing year of 2014.
First, you may be wondering, why 340?
Why not 365 to
complete it to a year?
I’ve met a lot of passionate and inspiring people who have led me to PUSH myself to the limits and gave me opportunities I never thought possible – which leads me to wanting to commit in not only pursuing this field,but also being the best that I can be while learning and mastering the craft. :D

Thus, the 340 Day – Pastry Project Challenge was sweetly
born to life. J
The goal of this project is to be able to share
snippets from the wonderful world of Pastry and the little adventures that I go
through as I pursue my dreams of becoming a pastry chef, work and learn from
different parts of the world specifically in Paris, and oh, have my own
Patisserie someday as well! <3
Yeah I know.
The latter part may not happen yet but I know one day
it will so ya’ll better watch out! ;) Katy Perry sang it best...
"..who won..who I think will win, are the ones that let love in...are the ones THAT TAKE THE TIME...( from This Moment song)"
*happy sigh
Such a wonderful song you're freaking missing half of your wonderful life if you haven't listen to it.
GO.
Youtube. Itunes. Whatever. Search it.
NOW! :D
Anyways, I won’t be spilling that much details on where I’m
currently working right now.
TEEHEE. That's for laters! <3
Though I’ll definitely be sharing how I got here and
lessons that I learn every single day of this journey with you guys – whether
be it through a new dessert dish that I learned how to plate, through the
mistakes that I make in the kitchen, techniques that I get from my mentors, and
even baking musings from my own humble kitchen here in the condo.
I am committing myself to learning something new everyday and sharing it with you here and hopefully by the end of the 340 Day Pastry Project Challenge, I would have shared relevant things, techniques and realizations that you might get something from.
I certainly don’t know what lies ahead from here on
up to that point, but one thing I know for sure is, I can build it. I can, and
I will make my dreams and vision happen. :D
And hey, whatever that is that you've been putting on hold,
GET YOUR FREAKING BUTT UP AND WORK IT! <3
Haha. Kidding.
But seriously,
Go do it.
You'll never know until you try. ;)
Love lots,
Les Patisserie Princess
