About me (blog intro)
I'm Berenice. I make the sugar flowers — peonies mostly, and a rose I've been trying to get right for six years now. I come in at five because the kitchen is quiet then and the humidity is honest, and I like the first tray of petals to be drying before anyone else walks in. If you come to the counter, I'm probably the one who remembers your order and asks how your mother's birthday went. I'm not much of a salesperson; I'd rather you just look at the case and see whether something makes you stop walking. There's a cake going out at four with twenty-two hand-cut ranunculus on it and I'm a little bit in love with it, but I'm not going to say that out loud in front of my boss.
