Savoring Kentucky

This cake and its makers, Martine’s Pastries, have just moved into my neighborhood in Lexington, KY. Not only do they make world class event cakes, they are world class human beings. They have created a splendid new Third Place at 400 E. Third Street in a renovated 1888 building. This business will change our neighborhood and our city for the better. And not just with exquisite food and coffee. I made a behind-the-scenes video of their moving month. https://youtu.be/tNU1w9jskZE

And there they are: cups of sunlight. From now until hard frost late this fall, we will have blooming plants around us. Welcome #firstcrocus!
