As you may have noticed, there are some articles that I wrote before this one. So, technically this isn’t the first post on my website, it’s more like the first one that I’ve written using Wordpress. The point of this article is to give you an idea of what’s going on in my life these days.

This Website

It’s been a couple of days since I changed my content management system from ZeroBoard to WordPress. Although the old website was easy to manage and redesign, I switched to Wordpress for a couple of features that weren’t offered (yet) by Zeroboard. Now I just need to get used to WordPress because it’s quite different. When I switched over, I also decided to change up the design and format a little. My husband and I are still trying to get everything setup just right so that I can focus on baking and posting articles. Please contact me if you see any glaring mistakes or problems around the website.

My Occupation

Currently, I am working as a pastry chef at a local fine dining restaurant. There is no doubt that my heart is in pastry, but I know that I am still far from being considered a pastry chef in the aspect of experience and skill. To make a long story short, this is how it all started: I graduated college with a bachelors in Business Administration in 2007. I then started looking for a job in the various business fields. Meanwhile, I wanted to gain some experience in the baking & pastry arts so that I could decide which field I’d be happier in. In the beginning of 2008, I applied for a pastry cook position at a new local restaurant that was getting ready to open. My boss said that ‘you can teach techniques, but you can’t teach someone to be passionate about pastry’ and that is why they hired me although I didn’t have any formal training. I’m not sure what is going to happen in the future, but I know that I love what I am doing right now.

My Location

As I said in my about page, I was born and raised in South Korea. I moved to Kansas in 2003 where my husband and I lived for 3 years due to the military. The area around us was pretty boring and desolate but we liked it because it was quiet and clean. The people that we met over there were nice and there wasn’t any crazy traffic. We currently live in Palmdale, CA but are looking for a place where we can be close to all of the big city conveniences but where the beauty of nature isn’t far off. We’re both currently applying for jobs in San Diego which is where we ‘think’ we want to live- we’ll see.
