Welcome to my blog of all things sweet! My name is Lymarie and I'm the owner of Sugar Love Bakery. Ever since I can remember I have loved sweets. Cakes, cupcakes, donuts, chocolate; if its got sugar, I love it. You can imagine my dental bills! But for me it's all worth it. The satisfaction of taking a bite into something decadent and sinful is what I live for. A perfect piece of velvety dark chocolate. A gooey chunk of salty caramel. A lick of creamy fluffy buttercream. These are the thoughts that fill my mind.
I would think about sugar so much that I decided to go to culinary school and learn how to properly make everything from tortes to pies to croissants. Le Cordon Bleu was amazing. The hallways were always filled with such wonderful aromas like curry and cumin, savory rosemary and of course my favorite, the buttery sugary scents wafting from the pastry kitchen. Here I felt at home.
After graduation I accepted an internship at Maxim's restaurant in Paris France. It was in Paris that I learned what it is to really love food. The care they put into making one single dessert is something to truly admire. That was when I decided it was essential to put care and love into everything I make. I do that by making every part of my desserts from scratch. Another wonderful lesson learned was using local ingredients. I learned about the relationship that restaurant chefs have with their suppliers and how important it is to know where your food comes from.
My experiences in France were invaluable and I know there are other people out there who love food as much as I do. I created this blog to share my experiences, knowledge and love of sugar. Follow me as we explore the ins and outs of the pastry world one tasty topic at a time. Check back next week for a new post highlighting Chocolate; a brief and delicious history of the number one sweet in the world.
