In an effort to keep my blog from feeling neglected I have several random posts coming up with stories and pictures of what I have been doing lately besides my usual photo sessions. I also have some fabulous bridal pictures that I can’t wait to post of two of my brides, but it will be a few weeks. Definitely can’t post those before the wedding. :-)
So my first post of randomness… I love sweets. Anything with sugar I will consume, especially chocolate. No chocolate in my house warrants a grocery trip regardless of what else is in the pantry. Last night I drank a glass of chocolate milk because Hershey’s syrup was the only kind of chocolate I could find and putting it in milk was the only logical way I could think of to ingest it. It’s not just chocolate though, I love any kind of dessert. I also love baking desserts and if it is something that looks pretty and tastes good all the better!
So, in keeping with my love of pretty sweets I decided I wanted to learn how to make petit fours. Last week the church small group that Jon and I are a part of threw a baby shower for one of the other couples in our group. As we were planning the party several weeks ago I decided it would be a great excuse to learn how to make petit fours, so that is what I volunteered to bring. Thankfully I know a sweet friend that is awesome at making them and was kind enough to teach me how.
So, below is a picture of my finished product. I shot this picture with a new lens I recently bought called a Lens Baby. Basically you select your focus point and everything else is blurry. I bought it to shoot macro detail shots at weddings. It’s a pretty fun lens, kind of touchy though. I’m still figuring it out. :-)
Oh, and if you want to learn to make petit fours my friend Elizabeth taught herself how to do it following the instructions she found on a blog. Come to find out the lady who writes the blog lives here in Clinton too! How random.
