Google me to find out.
Restaurant week in Baltimore is destroying my life. I have a day off on Monday, and among all the other things I have to do, I will post a new blog with photos of the wedding cake, restaurant week food and some other fun stuff.
I PROMISE! SO STOP EMAILING ME! 
Also,
A huge ugly apology to the Daring Bakers for being so dead. I love you guys and I still want to participate, but I might not be worthy any more. Sorrysorrysorry so sorry.
love,
Sarah

Just another birthday cake. This one is larger than the little individual ones I typically make at the restaurant. Who spells their name like that?
I am now taking (local) catering and cake orders for the holidays. I can do anything from large cakes to cupcakes and cookies. I can also cook regular food, in case you didn’t know. I work out of an inspected and insured commercial kitchen. Please contact me through email to discuss your needs.
Sorry for not posting in a while. It’s been a weird month.
I got internet!

Hello everyone,
I’m settling into my new apartment and my new life. I got internet set up, finally. We’ve been really busy at the restaurant, and I haven’t worked on anything new, but I have a lot of great things coming up (including a huge wedding cake!).
Personal sabbatical
Posted by: Sarah on: November 5, 2008
Hello, my dear readers. I am probably going to be without internet for a little while. I may or may not post here. I am going through a personal period of change. It would be nice to see you if you are in Baltimore. Please stop by my restaurant, Abacrombie, if you get the chance. I will return, I just dont know when. Thank you to my friends and family for their support.
Daring Bakers October Challenge: PIZZA!

This is my first month as a Daring Baker, and the challenge was hand-tossed pizza. I have made pizza dough many times, but never hand-tossed. And to top it off, we were required to take photos of us during the tossing process!
I made three pizzas. I made a big batch of sauce made from red peppers (from the garden) and white beans. The first pizza had the sauce, fresh mozzarella, fontina and pancetta. The second was a dessert pizza I’m calling Thin Crust Apple Pie. It had granny smith apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and honey bunches of oats, just the bunches, seriously.

Blood Orange Juice
Posted by: Sarah on: October 14, 2008
I recently received a sample of a nice blood orange juice from Alfredo of Italy Organics. I don’t think I will be able to use it in the restaurant (mainly because it is shipped from Sicily) but if you would like to check it out, visit his site.
I used it for my blood orange creamsicles, and the color is really nice. The taste is similar to the frozen puree that I have been using. I do want to use fresh juice when blood oranges are in season.
Advertising dilemma

I have been invited to become a featured publisher on FoodBuzz, a website that I’ve been describing to people as “Facebook for food blogs.” Basically, FoodBuzz will promote your blog and increase your traffic, and in exchange, you place a banner ad on your blog, “above the fold.” Which means, you can’t hide it or stick it on the bottom of your site.
Anyway, the advertising element is not going to generate me any income, but I do think that becoming a featured publisher will increase traffic to my site. I am blogging for other people, not just for myself, so increasing my audience is important to me.
I want you, readers, to know that if there are ads on here next week, it is not because I’m greedy or I sold out. I do not see myself using any other kind of ad service like Adsense or Amazon. I just think that the FoodBuzz program might be beneficial to me as a blogger. What do you think?
