Hey Chaya! I'm working on getting a group together for a cake making / decorating class. :) Did you say that it is $50 / person? Also, I was wondering were you get your disposable serving platters from? (the gold ones) I'm having a hard time finding them. Bless!
Chaya! Your're the best! YES. Please put me on your list. Wanted to let you know that you've inspired me to start making cakes. Do you give any private classes? I have most of the basic knowledge / technique for deserts but really want expand my cake decorating technique. I've been asked to start suppling a local New Leaf Market with raw vegan cakes - I just posted some of my very first attempts at this on my page. lol.;p Love to hear you feedback and any suggestions you have.
OH - I'm in Santa Cruz! I know that a deserts class here would be a huge hit! Lots of people here into raw. The culinary school might be interested in hosting you. xo!
I will be sure to keep in touch.
I find myself showing your photos too everyone, I know about 3 women in my family who will be commissioning you for their future wedding cakes!

Did you go to a reliable restaurant? Not all restaurants know how to properly handle fish. Most are frozen,thawed & refreeze what wasn't use. Can also be both. Maybe since you haven't had it in a while you body responded in a certain way.
So I've been vegan for about a week now and vegetarian for a little while longer, but last night I went out with my friends and stupidly had some fish at dinner.
Well that resulted in my not falling asleep until about 7:30am and spending most of ...
They're around, just not much of a popular main stream. I only know of metal bands though with female frontman. They're fucking sick(and hot) live.
