a calm weekend

Last week has been crazy, humid, hot, and stormy.
Luckily the weekend was beautiful.

I stayed in on Sunday, did a little packing and made a delicious blackberry buttermilk cake. Oh and I ate it with buttermilk ice-cream!

buttermilk is a magical ingredient.

La Bomboche

Hello!
Here I am, talking about food again :)

I shot a wedding last Saturday at Pangaea where the couple had a 10 course meal feast in celebration of their Marriage. We were treated the same as the guests, so to summarize the night, it was filled with delicious food and endless enjoyment. The wedding deserves it's own post, and i'll share it with you in full details once the photos are processed!

What I'm really trying to tell you is that they had a Macaron tree as their wedding cake! Mmmmm, they were delicious! Then yesterday I had discovered that the pastry shop that made the tree - La Bomboche -is just 5 mins walk from my work, so that's where I went during lunch hours yesterday. I had the lavender flavour, my favourite so far.

Many people have said they make the best Macarons in Toronto.
Do you know any better ones in Toronto? Or good Macaron bakers in your city?

long weekend

I had a long weekend, so I decided to help Celine out on Jin's big birthday party. We were packing up prizes, chopping up food, chatting, laughing, it was a really relaxing afternoon. And see how adorable these prizes turned out to be? That's why I love wrapping gifts so much! The party turned out great on Saturday. More photos to come on that one.
I went to the new Don Mills outdoor shopping mall to check out the newly opened McEwan's gourmet grocery store and Anthropologie! I love outdoor shopping centres, they make me feel like I'm still living in California! Oh, but the best thing of the day was I got to try Macorons! These things are so heavenly delicious, I wish I could make them myself.
p.s. I made some changes to the blog, hope you like it!
