When I was in High School, I would
bring cakes to class to celebrate classmates’ birthdays. I also baked hundreds
of cupcakes for the school’s Christmas bazaar run by Mademoiselle J., our
homeroom teacher. Mademoiselle J. had a vision for my future; I would open a
Tea Room, pink would be the prevailing color and the waitresses would wear long
dresses with poofy sleeves (it was, after all, the ‘70s). Of course
Mademoiselle J. had a name picked out for the Tea Room; you guessed it, Chez Stéphanie! Mademoiselle J. must
have still had that in mind when she sent me a wedding present years later; an
apron and a serving tray that I still have today.

Pink is nowhere to be seen, but we can just picture the scrumptious cakes and cupcakes coming out of this kitchen as Mademoiselle J. predicted!
