rose bakery

hello friends. i hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend. i had a lovely time and made my first turkey {with a little help}. we basted the bird with lots of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, garlic, and beer! sounds like a crazy combination, but it turned out to be delicious. i also made mav's cranberries. they were really good! that hint of orange and bite of clove really make a great combo.


today i wanted to share some photos from a great book i just bought. the food photos are wonderful and really give you a sense of the bakery. i fell in love with the book immediately and had to have it. you can see more photos here {you just have to put in the authors name-rose carrarini in the search}.
after looking at these delicious photos, i got inspired to take the above pie photos. i brought out my 4x5, which i have not done in a while. i had to work fast, as the light was fading. it is so amazing how at around 4pm the most beautiful light comes into my room, but by 4:30 it is gone. that is the one thing i don't like about winter, the lack of daylight hours. but, it felt good to be shooting film again and i can't wait to bring out my 4x5 again.
