I had left the food biz for a while. Went back to a corporate desk job. Hated it. The people were nice to work with and all, but the commuting, office politics, email, corporate culture, etc were outright sucking the life out of me. Worst of all, no time to cook.
But I'm back in it. Been working for a year at a restaurant on NJ's top 25 list. Living the food life again. Pretty awesome. The only downside is that I miss every social event going on in my personal life. This can be tough, especially during Christmas time.
To compensate for my repeated absence, I send my husband to the parties with treats for our friends. This year's treat of choice is Christmas tree cupcakes. Light chocolate cake topped with a silky layer of chocolate ganache and a mint Swiss buttercream Christmas tree. How cute are these! All natural, too. You wouldn't believe how I got them green if I told you!
