When I come into the bakery first thing in the morning, I sit at my desk and start going through my emails.  I get emails about cakes, Ron’s teaching schedule, booking appointments, client details and my favorite are the Sweet Genius emails.  I received this one a few days ago:

The following message was sent to the Food Network, and I wanted to send a copy direclty to you. 

This in regards to Sweet Genius, specifically to request the new format be discarded.  My husband and I started watching Chef Ron last season, and because of Chef Ron’s personality, we were hooked.  We are very disappointed with the new season of Sweet Genius, as the format limits Chef Ron’s personality to drive the show.  Now, instead of Chef Ron describing the challenges, the secret ingredients and the inspirations, and adding his humor and personality, there is a cold, computer generated female voice. Thus, the major component for watching the show, Chef Ron, has become limited, as is our interest in the show. Hopefully, other viewers who have enjoyed Sweet Genius because of Chef Ron, will also contact the Food Network and request the old format return.   Thank you for your time.

My reply to Durinda:

Thank you for watching Ron and his show.  You will be happy to know that you are currently watching re-runs of season 1.  He is filming season 3 right now and will be his lovely charming self that you saw in season 2.

Durinda’s response:

 I am so happy to hear we were watching re-runs!  Obviously, I am no Sweet Genius.  My husband and I both had a good laugh at our mistake.  Thank you for your quick response!   We look forward to Season 3. 

Signed,

Devoted fans – Michael and Durinda

These kinds of emails make my day. Thank you to all who watch Ron’s show!

Special visitors…

We love it when we get to meet our intern’s families!  Christina came to us from Le Cordon Bleu pastry program in Miami.  She has been with us for a few months now.

Christina’s family just flew in from Miami, FL for a long weekend with their daughter.  Before Mom and Dad got on a plane to come up to NYC, they went to the very famous La Carreta Cuban Restaurant to bring us delicious guava pastries.  They really know how to make a group of bakers happy!

In the top picture, our intern Christina is standing to the left and her Dad is explaining to Ron the various treats he has brought from La Carreta. Don’t they look yummy!

Christina is showing her family a project that she is working with our other interns Daniel and Marisa. Her parents are so proud of her! (We are too…she does a good job!)
