three parties. one weekend. baking 24/7

when i first started baking on a regular basis i would make anything. 

i was (and still am) willing to try pretty much everything.

word got around and before i knew it, i was making deserts for three parties

in the same weekend...actually...on the same day.

i was making desserts for a graduation party,
a bridal shower,

and an anniversary party.

i was thrilled.
but the title of this post doesnt lie.

having decided on menu items that couldnt

exactly be made ahead of time, i spent many many hours 

baking up until the last minute for most of the events.
i came home from work friday afternoon (with my lovely assistant Mairead)
and worked on a few of the items. while taking Mairead home, we got
persuaded to meet a few friends for a well deserved break drink(s).
i pulled myself away from the fun to return to my tasks at hand,
before i knew it...it was 430 am. whoops.
i wrapped up and hit the hay, waking up just three short hours later.
