I will be seeing some of my dear clients in the US soon... Here is my schedule:

May 2-7 New York
May 7-14 Chicago
May 14-18 Victoria, Canada
May 18-20 Seattle
May 20-24 Las Vegas

Hopefully this trip will be one that is relaxing and restful... considering the many places we'll visit in a short time.

I'm particularly excited to go to New York and visit Cendrillon .... the famous Filipino/Fusion restaurant of Chef Romy Dorotan. I recently saw him in one of the re-runs of Martha Stewart Living (aired on the Lifestyle Network), teaching Martha how to make pickled papaya or "atchara".

Also... last year, i attended a short workshop by my cake idol Ron Ben-Israel.... so when i heard that he was doing another class this year, i could not pass up the chance and immediately enrolled for his 2-hour class! Yipee... i am super excited! The one-day conference is going to be held at the French Culinary Institute in New York. It has always been my dream to study there but could not fathom how to raise the $38k tuition.... so this short conference would do for now.

I love travelling and meeting new friends and clients while i am abroad. I love exploring and experiencing the world... opening my eyes and mind to new inspirations for cake designs! Attached in this entry is a cake that was inspired by my trips to Japan. This cake is in the current issue of Metro Weddings magazine.
