Apron and The City

How did my cupcake apron became so trendy since I bought it a year ago?
 
It all started with the photoshooting for my website. Alice, a talanted photographer ,who took my picture here,  told me to go online to see some beautiful aprons at Anthropologie.  It was hard to choose one because they have so many cute aprons! but when I saw this beautiful apron , I fell in love though I’m not even a cupcake fan! I mean- I love the look of a cupcake, but I am not part of the cupcake craze at all.

A few weeks ago (yes i’m late), I noticed my apron from Anthropologie was on Sex and The City 2 worn by Charlotte. Respect!  Then Alice told me a week ago that  it was worn last week at The Gates.
 
Just from a marketing perspective I find it so fascinating how an item becomes hot!  Now I almost feel this apron became too “old” because I can see it everywhere.  But on the other hand, it’s still charming…

It seems like there are some aprons fans that take it to the next step.

 Here are some cool aprons websites I wanted to share as I’ve been looking for my next apron:

Eat a peach day

I happened to read today at foodimentary that it’s the National Eat a Peach Day. After double-checking the day’s authenticity, I was reassured this was not a joke. At that point, I ran to the store to  buy a box of  peaches.

I decided to create a relatively easy dessert that will be light and summery in order to honor the peach. I decided to make a few components for the dessert and assemble them in a glass wine.

The layer on the bottom was streusel made from cinnamon and rum.

On top of that I put  whipped mascarpone cheese with vanilla and lemon peel, plus a bit of confectionary Sugar.

On the final, top layer, I put cut peaches mixed with some brown sugar and lemon juice that  I cooked for 10 minutes.

I added some caramel tuiles and basil for garnish.(I didn’t have mint).

This is where it all started: Innocent, scrumpious peaches.

Started working on the tuiles:

Ready to go to the oven:

And here are the tuiles fresh out of the oven:

The peaches are working hard in the oven:

And all together:

Good bye, even the tuiles are tired….
