Pastry chefs can cook. My savory friends would be proud. Pan seared scallops for dinner with sweet potato mash and green beans! Yummm. Thanks to thrive for keeping me going after 10 hours of tarts and then coming home and cooking dinner! #thriving #keepsmegoing #searedacallops #pastrychefscancook #pastryqueen #chef #ilovesavorytoo

This year was full of a lot of things. I’m so glad that it’s over and that I have a lot to look back on and learn from. I’m also so thankful for the people I’ve found that will be in my life for a long time to come God willing. Here’s to a few weddings and new career adventures in 2018. #persnicketypastries #persnickety #pastryqueen #pastrychefs #pastrychefscancook

Just wanted to share some of the work I’ve been doing. The first is a bride’s cake for a wedding at the beginning of the month, the second and third are a bride’s and groom’s cake for a wedding this past weekend. #pastrychefs #pastryqueen #pastrychefscancook #persnicketypastries #persnicketypastries #weddings #weddingcakes #groomscake #louisianabride #mississippibride #almondcake #lemonblackberry #blackberrymerlotfilling #guinesschocolatecake #whiskeyganache #tennesseehoney #groomschocolatecake

I wouldn't say for any reason in particular, but I never uploaded the last photos of the dishes I did in the finale of Race to Cannes. These are the beautiful masterpieces that got me to the finish and missing first by 1 point. Soprasetta potato cakes with salmon mousse and preserved lemon aioli, almond corn chip fig crusted pork tenderloin that's been brushed with maple syrup on top of sweet potato coulis and red wine maple reduction with tumeric cauliflower rice, and then coconut panna cotta with sour cherry pear compote with brûléed pears and fried sticky rice.

The final dessert that got me through the next round! I'm so proud of Jennifer, Rachel, and Allison. We all tried so hard and did so well! It's a prune, pear, and Apple tartan with a white wine pear cream and warm apple chutney. #thankgodIcanbake #givegodtheglory #praisesthonore #persnicketypastries #persnickety #bakingqueen #pastrychefscancook #yesplease (at Louisiana Culinary Institute)

Today was round three of five for the Race to Cannes. This is the dish I presented. It's a root vegetable stuffed chicken with pineapple soy glaze and a lift spinach salad with a pineapple jalapeño jelly vinaigrette. We had to use jicama, pineapple, chicken, and spinach. If I'm not mistaken, I came in third. So, I just have 2 more rounds to go and then off to France. I got this. #pastrychefs #pastrychefscancook #persnickety #pastryqueen

Today we have the second part of the first round of the race to Cannes. The ingredients we had to use were muscadine jelly, Doritos, pickled jalapeños, and chicken. I'm pretty proud of myself. I came in with the second highest score missing the top by just 1.5. I made a chicken stuffed bell pepper bite. It has muscadine glazed chicken with some bacon, tomatoes, jalapeños, a little orange zest, topped with parm and cheddar cheese and crumbled Doritos, plus a citrus crema. #pastrychefscancook #racetocannes #yay #imexcited #roundtwo #bellpepper #chicken. #persnickety (at East Baton Rouge Parish)
