The velvet cake is to die for, and what tops it off is the mix of cheese cake. OMG you are so gifted and talented. I have to admit i been following and reading your blog post for quite sometimes.

Hey Sweets,
So glad you finally found a little love for my home state, and this tart is so gorgeous. You know, I am sort if in love with your writing and your talent. I think you’re pretty amazing and I can’t wait to hang out soon. My trip to Seattle is actually not until Sept 10, so I’m guessing you may be back at school by then, but if not, our culinary tour will be epic for sure!

Hi! I stumbled by your blog and loved every post of it! You’ve produced such amazing work at a young age, and I’m looking forward to see your (already considerable) talent continue to grow.

But like other commentors have said, I particularly loved this reflection on Los Angeles. Some advice, from a seasoned Angelena: definitely wander into the not-so-glitzy parts of town, even it it looks sort of ghetto (ok, maybe not Compton….though it does have Watt’s Towers!!) You’ll be constantly surprised by what you’ll find. I have yet to find any other city with as much cultural diversity as LA…and with cultural diversity comes the best food you’ll ever taste, Michelin stars be damn’d! Check out Jonathan Gold’s food reviews; he tells you pretty much everything you need to know about food.

Oh, and the beaches aren’t bad either. That, and hoping your friend is treating you to the vista of Griffith Park at night!

Have fun, and I’ll definitely be reading on! :)
