Pastries

I: A scientist is someone who endlessly studies the facts, the "why" and "how".

II: An artist is someone who translates their world for others to experience.

III: Both often experience infinite curiosity.

IV: Sometimes one is both a scientist and an artist.

V: Forever searching out the "why"s, and blending their mind to create something others will understand.

VI: Most just want to be seen and understood, as this artist does.

VII: Enter the world and mind of a transmasc nonhuman living in a human body.

VIII: Please understand that all found herein is subject to interpretation.

IX: May your world be the richer for peering through these strange and intense glasses.

These are a few of the pastries I have made over the past year.

Lime-pistachio cake.

Gingerbread cookies iced and with raisins, candied cranberries, candied ginger and toasted almonds.

Making sourdough chocolate croissants.

Homemade tiramisú in jar.

White and dark chocolate curls on the top.

Spice chocolate chip cake with chai spice frosting and chocolate drizzled on the top.

Savory spinach cake, decorated with fresh vegetables.

A close-up of a slice of savory spinach cake. You can see a bit of the purple carrot ribbon that went around the cake.

Chocolate cake with whipped mocha frosting and lignonberry jam filling and topping.

And there were far more pastries than that, but they were eaten before I had a chance to photograph them.
